Arceus Pokeball Version 2.0 Now Available (Patreon)
Content
Hey everyone,
I've posted about it a few times but Version 2 of our Arceus Pokeball is done and available at last! I have kept the files for the original version available as well for anyone that prefers that one.
Overall, I think Version 2 is much easier to print and assemble, and it produces a much better end "product." The assembly is easier, but it also allows to replace components that may break which was not very easy or possible with Version 1. Here are some of the other big improvements with Version 2:
- 100% Support-Free unlike Version 1
- Hinge is now print and place, which makes it much stronger
- Small notch on the front is much stronger, and installs differently so it can't fall out.
- All of the snap features have been re-worked to not print against the build plate, so minor elephants foot won't have such a major impact on your abililty to assemble the design.
Here is the link to the files in the Archives:

One of the only Pros I believe Version 1 has over Version 2 is that it may be a liiiiiitle bit more "Screen-Accurate," but minor sacrifices had to be made to improve the functionality. I encourage you to read the Print Info in the model folder as well!
As with every model, I look forward to your feedback so I can continue to make improvements. I will be building out more inserts and other variations very soon (Heavy Ball, Ultra Ball, Great Ball, DS Inserts, SD/Micro SD Inserts).
I hope you like the improvements, and as always thank you all so much for the support!
