Poke Ball Pencil Topper

This is a Pokemon Pencil Topper! It’s a simple design made to be printed even with a Single Extruder system using only filament swaps. In the attached 3MF file, there are plates to print either 1 or 80 at a time, with or without an AMS. If you aren’t using the 3MF, the filament swaps are as follows:

Start with white

9.4mm up, switch to black

11.57mm up, switch to red.

Alternatively, for a Premier Ball look, you can do white-red-white, or for a Park Ball look you can do white-blue-yellow. (Or let’s be honest–this is just a ball; you can do whatever filament swaps you want I look forward to seeing what colors you choose!).

It should fit most normal pencils with diameter sizes from 7 to 10 mm, although the thicker ones may permanently bend the internal fingers of the pencil topper. You can use glue if you want to for a more permanent solution.

I’m not sure if you all will run into this, but when I was printing 80 at a time, the BambuLab first layer defect filter would always trip, despite never having any problems. So make sure you keep an eye out for that if you’re starting a long print before you do something. Don’t want to wake up to find out it didn’t get past the first layer.
