Hello all,

update 06/05/25: 

• improved the amount of contact surface between the net and the build plate. This should reduce the amount of cases where the net detatches during printing, however make sure your print plate sticks nicely and print slow.
• made the hoop a bit stronger where the net connects to it
• made a new clamp so you can connect the basket hoop in 2 different orientations
• added holes to the clamp so you can remove the hoop again after clicking it in the clamp

update 23/04/25: 

• added a backboard
• added a ball

My goal with this model was to design a basketball with a flexible net, all in a single print :) 

If you decide to print this, carefully remove the net from the build plate. The little chain links are fragile! Use a scrape tool if needed

Other then that its all pretty easy! 

You can also check out my video which shows the assembly process:

Note: the files I uploaded here are a bit different (and should be improved) from the ones in the video…

Comment if you have any questions or problems

thanks all!
