Mini Basketball Launchpad (3/4" Diameter)

thingiverse

Disclaimer: Printed using PLA, works like a charm (I don't think ABS will work as it is not flexible to fling the ball). Pcode and STL included. Pcode worked like a charm with my Kodama Trinus printer by printing with the edge flat on the print bed. Makers may try using PETG/ Nylon/ Ryno at their own risk. For any and all questions, shoot an email to asimjian@gmail.com. I am willing to share the original Solidworks part if you would like to modify the design as well. Just let me know how you would like me to save the file for your use. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Hi guys, I got the inspiration to print this Launchpad for the sourced Ping Pong Basketball Hoop by jacobaabbott found here: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1141470 The original design was modified from the launchpad found here by awille: https://www.thingiverse.com/awille/about ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I went on ebay and searched 3/4 inch diameter balls and found these Premium Birch Hardwood Balls sold by MooreSales. I bought 10 of them but they sell packs of 25,100, etc. https://www.ebay.com/itm/10-Hardwood-Balls-Solid-Birch-Wood-Ball-3-4-Inch-Dia-0-75-in-19-05-mm/191823811746?ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT&_trksid=p2057872.m2749.l2649 I love having these on my desk at work or at home as novelty items. Have fun printing your own!
