Pokeball, with magnetic clasp (alternate)

pinshape

I fine-tuned CarryTheWhat's original design to make it more practical for printing and assembly. To achieve this, I adjusted Print Settings: 0.20mm resolution with 10% infill ensured a solid pin and standard infill throughout the rest of the print. Using Simplify3D, I determined that layer 35 was the optimal transition point to switch from black to white filament. Although it might not have been necessary, printing with 4 outer shells guaranteed the pin's solidity and consistency. A notable challenge arose when S3D failed to automatically place support under the tip of the pin; manual intervention was required, starting with a 3mm build platform space then adding additional support underneath. This design was created entirely in Tinkercad. Firstly, I closed the gap in the ring since I intended to create my own pin from scratch anyway – and indeed remixed the original pin when printing the first few iterations. I combined the ring with the bottom part, designing a hinge inspired by the original but with a smaller gap and more durable pin. To make the design more functional, I reduced the button size so it could fit snugly into its socket without needing a heat gun or forceful persuasion. The base of another Pokeball caught my eye, so I sized it accordingly and incorporated it into the design.
