Anyone coming across this tutorial, I highly suggest putting all the parts of the ball in their own components. It will save you all kinds of headache later if you want to do more with it.
Can you do a tutorial for an ultraball? I keep getting stuck on making the yellow part for 3d printing. Whenever I make the cutout and get it ready for 3d printing some of the lines are too thin to be printed. If I add a fillet to it then it becomes uneven
That's a great suggestion! I may try to put together a tutorial on how to model a few pokeball variants from this one. In the mean time there are 2 options I would suggest. Option 1 - If you don't need it to open you could make the Pokeball solid so the yellow "U" / "H" shape is pretty deep... and cutting away from the black portion (the red portion in a standard poke ball)... that way you don't have the thin wall problem. Option 2 - You could try creating a very shallow groove to outline change between black and yellow parts (you could do this with revolved cuts) .... in this scenario you would have 1 piece for the top of the ball(not a separate print for the yellow) but the groove would make it very easy to paint. Hope that helps!
@@practicalalchemy407 I finally found out a way to do it. You have to split a face on the top part of the ball for the yellow part and then offset it outward as an extrusion. You take a copy of that ball and offset the black parts as an extrusion also. Finally you cut the excess of the yellow part by revolving an inner circle inside it. Geez that took me 3 whole days to figure out.

@@metallicaandchimaira Awesome! Glad to hear you figured out a way to do it!
U had a great opportunity to name the centre ball, master ball
