'Rotating' Golf Ball Key Fob

thingiverse

Golf enthusiasts will treasure this gift idea... The 'Rotating Golf Ball Key Fob' closely mimics a regular golf ball's diameter, but its slim design makes it easy to attach to your keychain - no bulging pocket required! Its textured surface features realistic dimples identical in size to those of an actual golf ball, while the center and outer sections are independent, enabling seamless rotation. This one-piece design prints easily in two parts that orbit each other. To achieve a smooth print experience, I recommend keeping the current scale to maintain crucial clearances that enable free movement between parts. Doing so will ensure your golf ball keychain is proportional in size to its inspiration. After printing, carefully remove any raft or support material, then gently jiggle the fob until the inner piece begins to spin freely. Most well-calibrated printers will yield excellent results within a few attempts, making this design shine as a precision-engineered, dimpled sphere nested inside a slender outer ring. Although this file is sizeable due to intricate detail on the ball's surface, its charm and authenticity more than justify downloading it. Golf fans, rejoice - and for non-golfers, consider gifting one to an enthusiast. Consult recommended print settings below. **Printing Guidelines** Recommended settings for successful prints include: Raft On: Yes Resolution: Standard (0.20mm) Infill: 75% (ensures strength and density) Support Material: No Once printing is complete, remove any rafts or support material, then gently shake the fob to dislodge the inner piece until it spins smoothly. Most precision-printing devices should yield a flawless, self-sustaining golf ball within the slim outer shell. This design requires significant processing power due to the fine detail of its textured surface, making this file particularly demanding but worth your while if you're willing to invest in print quality.
