Rolling ball tip, one piece

thingiverse

This is a test run to print a ball tip or ball and socket in one continuous piece. The default size has enough clearance of 0.2 mm, allowing for smooth rolling performance that's been very satisfactory for me so far. It's turned out to be quite the fidget toy. I've had success printing it at 50% size using my Prusa MK3. Make sure to print it upside down with the ball touching the print bed. In your slicer, activate support from the print bed only. If you come up with any innovative applications for this creation, please feel free to share them here.
