Elegant Ball Stand – Easy Print, Perfect Display!
Print Profile(1)
Description
Pure Minimalism: The focus is on the object.
This stand was designed to be almost invisible. Its three organically shaped arms securely hold spherical objects without obscuring their design. It appears "floating" and fits on any desk or shelf.
💥 Versatile Applications (Community Verified)
The design is optimized for spheres from 65-70mm, but the community has proven it can do much more:
- Sports Memorabilia: Perfect for tennis balls and signed baseballs.
- Decor & Light: Ideal for lithophane moon lamps ("Moon Lamps") or round ornaments.
- Smart Home: With slight scaling (wider/lower), it even works as a stand for Google Home Speakers.
- Stones & Eggs: Also securely holds irregular shapes like egg-shaped stones.
💡 Tips for Perfect Printing
- Support Free: The model is designed to print with no supports. No waste, no post-processing.
- Scalable: Want to display a volleyball or soccer ball? Simply scale up the model in your slicer.
- Grip Hack: For smooth or irregular objects (like stones), enable "Fuzzy Skin" in your slicer. It looks cool and prevents slipping.
⚙️ Print Settings (Optimized in Profile)
- Material: PLA, PLA Matte or PETG.
- Walls: 2 walls are entirely sufficient for normal loads (tested and confirmed by numerous users).
- Infill: 15% (Grid or Gyroid) is the sweet spot for stability and material savings.
- Supports: ❌ None. Prints flat on the bed.

Every design is perfected by me on the Bambu Lab X1C or A1. I optimize every model down to the last detail for FDM printing, extracting everything technically possible. Load, print, fits.
