Description

PDF

as always: OpenSCAD source for download. Please remix

Three parameters in the source:

  • ball_d=90;  // the ball diameter - get this from measuring the existing ball/sphere
  • base_d=30;  // the diameter of the base - smaller is nicer but also more instable
  • base_z=10;  // the height of the base disc

The .stl in the files is exactly the one above: a 30mm base for a 90mm sphere.
