This is a captive ball inside a twisted cage. It makes a fun fidget toy.

The ball is 8mm diameter. The overall length is 32mm. Print without supports.

The ball is printed-in-place. When the print is done, pry the ball off the base - it should come off fairly easily. You should be able to rattle the ball in the twisted cage.
