I wanted a functional Pokeball to store my Switch cartridges, so I made some adjustments. This Pokeball stores 10 cartridges but can be upgraded to store up to 11 or maybe even 12 if you want to.
Materials Needed:
Super Glue;
Toothpick or a ~4cm/~1.5in piece of filament;
Small Spring (see your ballpoint pens);
White PLA;
Black PLA;
Red PLA.
Print Instructions:
20% infill
Supports Yes
Print the lids upright or ‘flat’ on the bed, or choose to print it vertically as someone successfully did in the comments section.
Before starting to put everything together, make sure all the parts fit together and function perfectly, if needed sand them down a bit.
Print everything and start putting them together like this:
1st - Slot the Ring on the Button;
2nd - Insert the Ring and Button on the Bottom Loop;
3rd - On the Button back there is a tiny hole, insert a small spring (like one of a ballpoint pen) and slide it underneath the Bottom Loop;
4th - Put the Cartridge Holder inside the Bottom White Lid, you can glue the sides of it so it doesn't wiggle but this is opcional as it doesn't move much;
5th - Super Glue the Bottom Loop and the Bottom White;
6th - Now insert the Top Loop on the Ring and Super Glue the Bottom and the Top Loop, this maintains the small spring in place;
7th - Put the Top Red Lid on top of the Top Loop and slide a piece of filament or even a toothpick between the small holes on the two pieces back and cut out what sticks out, also you can super glue the filament/toothpick in place but be careful to not glue the Top Red Lid;
8th - Put you Pokeball on its stand, you can always glue it to the stand if you like it better that way.
9th - Enjoy!
