Stress ball with smiley

I really liked the pufferfish stress balls I found on this website, so I began to print some of them to friend, who use them as skills for panic attacks or psychiatric diseases. One of them asked me to design a slightly larger one with a smiley face, since she doesn't like the puffer fished designwise.

So I did and want to share this one here.

The ball itself is printed in to parts without support, connected via a rod. All parts, including the smiley have to be glued, but they are then pretty strong, even using PLA.

So I normally use PLA, which is durable enough to withstand even harder pressure while panic attacs, PETG can be used to furtcher increase durability.

I also added a hole for a keychain ring. Even if you don't plan putting the stress ball on a key (for which it is too large in my opinion), it is very handy to have a large key chain ring on it, so you can put a finger thru it to keep a better grip on the ball.

I try to find some pictures of the finished model to upload later.
