Hi! The feet for the base are located/ print with the basket, from the picture It looks like the base piece that has the feet connected, is still stuck up in the basket, pulling it down carefully should fix the issue.
Hi! I was wondering if there was any way you could make a file so I could print the little inner part that connects the little spice on the chain piece to the bottom/basket as the little piece on mine broke. Thanks!
Right click on the model in your slicer and click "Split" then you can separate out the parts you don't need, print that, and drop it in. If you have trouble with this, shoot me a message
Entire thing printed well for me. Really impressive design. Not sure why the travel container is so big.. could be less than half the height and still hold the collapsed basket. I used same printer Bambu XC1 and was able to load the .3mf file and kind of just print. Glad I had the plate you used in your file. Smeared it with lots of glue and everything stuck well. Basket doesn't catch the discs very well but who cares.
i can only assume you used a bambu for this? (if so) what speed was your 1st layer printed at? I still can not get my p1p to get all of the chains to stick to the bed.
That is right. I always use Bambu printers. I have printed it on the x1c with glue and without glue. it always needs a thoroughly cleaned build plate using dish soap and hot water.
Speed is set in the .3mf file. It is the same that I used to print the one shown in the video.
Alternatively, you can add a brim.
Is there any interest on me making a separate chain file that prints on its own to avoid some of the issues with printing 8 chains in a spiral?
Is there a trick to getting the loops at the top that hold the chain stronger? I've broken a few of them with very minimal effort, like moving the chain around to clip it to the bottom, getting them off the build tray, snapping the colored circle on the top. All the chain links print just fine. I'm using a silver silk so it looks almost like a real one, maybe that has something to do with it.
Hi there, silk filament is a relatively more brittle filament and it can take a bit of work to make it less brittle. A few things you could try for that filament, would be to dry your filament thoroughly, increase your printing temperature, and slow the print down. You will also what to wait to remove the print until the build plate is completely cooled down.
Hi, If you are using the 3mf file you should be fine to print it, as is. If you run into any issues with the disks, usually slowing your print down for them solves any issues.
Everything printed out great. There are some problems with assembly. The pin on the chain top that goes into the pole snapped off with little to no force applied. The broken pin is stuck in the pole so I have to reprint the chain top and Goal.
Would you recommend petg rather than pla for this print? I've had the small peg that fits into the post break off twice while trying to assemble and wonder if I should be using petg instead?
You might be trying to assemble the golf top while it is is extended. That puts a lot of pressure on the last peg in the tube. When I assembled it I press the goal top into the base while it is collapsed to protect it.
The rectangular nub on the chains is a designed in support to make sure the chains can print in place.
All the chains are the same length. Some chains may be rotated or you can use the extension chain link if you are still having issues
Glue shouldn't be necessary, but you can add a small drop if you are having issues.
Pull up on the goal top and base to stand it up.
There is a storage container for longer trips
Thank you for the response! The model looks so good when it actually stands up, but unfortunately I can't get it to stay up. If it is nudged just a touch, it just collapses into itself. Especially if I actually shoot a disc into it. Seems like a fundamental design flaw - the basket goes up, but has no way to stay up. Am I missing something? How in the world did you get yours to take the impact of a disc landing in it?
If you watch the youtube short, around the 5 second mark I hold the top and then pull down on the base. You need to apply a gentle force to the bottom of the goal as you hold the top. It creates a friction fit between each of the segments.
Also! make sure to check that all your chain links are good. They can rotate 90 degrees and shorten the length of the chain and prevent you from extending the goal properly
I just printed this and I feel like I am missing something, it has no legs to stand on. I'm printing with a Bambu and when I put the file in to slice there are 8 plates but none of them are the legs to make it stand up. Am I missing something??
I had no issues printing, was really great with a Bambu A1, some minor cosmetic things but chains are intact and didn’t need any support with stock build plate and all. Great model. My only critique is the extra chain links seem necessary, mine would not stay standing with the “stock” chains, the tension from them always made it collapse. Seems like you could just add one more link, unless I’m missing something (it’s like my 2nd print so tell me if I am)
I'm newbie.. trying to print this. The chains were no problem. I am reading the directions, and I dont' understand what this means "Goal Base Use Tree Supports for Basket (20 degree overhang angle)." What are tree supports, and how do I use them? Thanks
Love this! It printed super well on my K1. I'm curious if you've considered a separate stand piece that goes inside the pole to help keep it fully upright? It might be that my print wasn't perfect but I can make it collapse a bit easier than I'd like. The idea of expanding it and then placing it on something that holds it up would be nice! I might just design one myself :)
The goal top cover seems to be too big for the goal, the teeth (or whatever you call them) seem to be placed every so slightly askew from the area they should be going into. Am I missing something here?
I thought the same thing at first, the teeth actually grip outside of the ring of the top I think the space between the outside edge of the cover and the teeth just gives the teeth room to flex
Pull the slide back. The disc snaps between the two arms. One finger goes through the ring. Push the slide forward with your thumb. It will force the disc between the two flexible arms and launch the disc.
any recommendations for the goal? The part the feet are attached too is stuck inside the shaft. I have made sure that the rest of the basket it detached. I have printed twice with reduced flow rate on the second print, but still cannot get it to budge.
I cut it apart, and noticed there is a small amount of filament that bridges between the two cylinders causing them to fuse, but it was way up at the top, so not something I could reach without cutting the whole thing apart.
I have all the settings I used to print the design in the .3mf file. The initial layer 30 mm/s, initial layer infill speed is 60 mm/s. Otherwise, gyroid infill at 15% and speed resumes to normal after the initial layer. The speed change is not required for most of the components.
I think the chains are too short. When I have it full assembled the chains won’t let me fully extend the center column to the point where it stays up. I feel like one or two extra links in the chain would solve this.
make sure the chains aren't twisted. You could print the last chain a couple of times and snap it into the ends to extend the chain if needed. We'll be adding a file for that last chain link. But you can also break that piece out in your slicer in the meantime. Seems like some filament has a bit more flex too it, so the press fit happens at different lengths maybe
If you haven't downloaded the files recently I added a PDF that adds a bit of info on print instructions. You could download bambuslicer to see the settings and copy them in Cura. The 3mf is made for Bambuslicer

will it fit on the a1 mini?
Hi, This model is just slightly too large for the A1 mini

The travel container is large so that is can store two baskets!
Can you move this clip top the top? Photo of issue seems like it should have more surface area and is one of the causes of print failure for me.
as well , maybe just have a file with 1 set of chains so we can print a backup if 1-2 fail, have the clips on both ends?
Done! Let me know how it works for you.
yep. I am working on it! Should have an update for everyone soon.
Any printing recommendations for the chains? Failed once after a solid IPA scrub. Trying again after soap + water.
Clean build plate, some glue, print the first layer slow!
i can only assume you used a bambu for this? (if so) what speed was your 1st layer printed at? I still can not get my p1p to get all of the chains to stick to the bed.
I have added an optional chain file and extension chain link
That is right. I always use Bambu printers. I have printed it on the x1c with glue and without glue. it always needs a thoroughly cleaned build plate using dish soap and hot water.

I did unfortunately have to scale this to 98% to make it fit on a BambuLabs A1 Mini... Will add a make when done
you can rotate it by just a few degrees and it fits just barely on the A1 mini!

this was a pain to print on my X1C and the launcher doesn't have any consistency. still pretty cool though

The legs are inside of the model! They're pre-built into the part call "Goal" (:
I had no issues printing, was really great with a Bambu A1, some minor cosmetic things but chains are intact and didn’t need any support with stock build plate and all. Great model. My only critique is the extra chain links seem necessary, mine would not stay standing with the “stock” chains, the tension from them always made it collapse. Seems like you could just add one more link, unless I’m missing something (it’s like my 2nd print so tell me if I am)
There's extra links in the 3mf that you can print if you find you need them!
Files for the stand seem to be missing. Where can i get those - have already downloaded the zip file
Found that they were inside the basket!
I'm newbie.. trying to print this. The chains were no problem. I am reading the directions, and I dont' understand what this means "Goal Base Use Tree Supports for Basket (20 degree overhang angle)." What are tree supports, and how do I use them? Thanks
Here’s a short video that may help tree support quick setup for beginners
Also has anyone been able to print the chains without supports? My problem is removing all of them without breaking chains.
I just used a brim that was 0.2mm from the edge of the model and everything came off with relative ease.
Cool design. I wish they would release a version with just one more or two more chain links attached. Thank you!!!
There's some extra chains available in the files to print! if you find that you need another chain link
Love this! It printed super well on my K1. I'm curious if you've considered a separate stand piece that goes inside the pole to help keep it fully upright?

what size nozzle did you use? I run my x1c with a .6 nozzle and can't get the telescoping center to come loose.
I use a .4 mm nozzle, wouldn't recommend that large of a nozzle for this specific print
Can someone tell me how the launcher works? 😅 for some reason I dont even know how to hold it in my hand lol
Pull the slide back. The disc snaps between the two arms. One finger goes through the ring. Push the slide forward with your thumb. It will force the disc between the two flexible arms and launch the disc.
Chain is too short. I've have spent sooo much time making sure they aren't twisted and still cant get the model to extend fully
There is now an extension chainlink in the file download. hope that helps!
any recommendations for the goal? The part the feet are attached too is stuck inside the shaft. I have made sure that the rest of the basket it detached. I have printed twice with reduced flow rate on the second print, but still cannot get it to budge.

if you are using aligned Z seams you need to switch to random Z seams. The slicer will accidentally bind the parts together from the Z seam
In general, what settings did you use or recommend, for these prints?
I have all the settings I used to print the design in the .3mf file. The initial layer 30 mm/s, initial layer infill speed is 60 mm/s. Otherwise, gyroid infill at 15% and speed resumes to normal after the initial layer. The speed change is not required for most of the components.
How do i put together the disc launcher? I can't figure out how they fit. If possible could you send a photo of how the two parts fit?
Sorry I need to update this! You are supposed to load both part files into the same build plate. it prints in place
When do you plan on fixing this? And will you post an update on this?
I updated it last night. The file is titled Launcher
Alright thank you. :)
I think the chains are too short. When I have it full assembled the chains won’t let me fully extend the center column to the point where it stays up. I feel like one or two extra links in the chain would solve this.

Do we have that file for the last chain link
Yes! Those have been added
Cura isn't reading the .3mf file, any suggestions?
