Here's another HueForge hybrid print that uses a 3D model of the Pokeball, giving the illusion that Ash is truly throwing the ball at you.

This is a relatively easy print, 2.5 hours total of print time, and then however long it takes you to paint the Pokeball after the print is done! I did experiment with painting the Pokeball from within Bambu Studio itself, but that would have taken 17 hours instead. No bueno.

As always, the included 3MF will have all Bambu Studio settings already applied to the file. If you do not use a Bambu printer, or Bambu studio, download STL file and follow the print instructions below!

Print Instructions HueForge part of the print (0.0mm - 2.32mm)

• Print at 100% infill with a layer height of 0.08mm with a base layer of 0.2mm

Pokeball part of the print (2.32mm - 28.00mm)

• Print with 8% infill (Gyroid)
• I used 3 walls, 3 bottom and 3 top layers. My top layer was in 'Concentric'

Filaments Used:

• PLA Kingroon Black Transmission Distance: 0.4
• PLA+ Overture Dark Blue Transmission Distance: 1.8
• PLA META Sunlu Red Transmission Distance: 4
