print it / Slime Ball

This model is a variation of the Twisty Grid I came up with. It feels like a liquid dripping down your hands! :D

Update I made a easy to print version that dont need supports but is not a complete ball. You can find that HERE
You can still try to print the ball but its a difficult print.
I explain that in this Video:[Watch the video

Print Settings

Try printing the "Easy to print" version first. No supports, but print it slower than usual.

Slice the Presupported files with standard settings and without supports enabled.
The unsupported file should be sliced with supports enabled.
This is not an easy print. Print this slow! I print this model at 50% speed.

Support Removal

I made a video that addresses that and troubleshooting. [Watch the video

Troubleshooting

If your ball detaches from the support during the print, then print one of the files in the troubleshooting folder with a closer support.
It's about finding the right balance between the support fusing with the model to support it, but not too much to not get permanently fused.
You may need to print different files for different Filaments. They all behave differently.
If yours does not slide well, try another Filament. If you find a filament that slides well, please comment it so that we can get a collection of good Filament going for this model.
