Fibonacci SpheresOpenSCAD script that uses a projection of the Fibonacci Lattice to generate a spherical model with an arbitrary number of cutouts evenly distributed across the surface. The simplicity of the algorithm makes this a highly configurable and elegant solution to generating a customizable airless ball.Printing TipsThe included print profiles have settings I've found work best for spherical models and is based on the “0.20mm Standard” profile from Bambu Labs with manual supports enabled.Timelapse of the 65mm “tennis ball” example printed using Bambu Labs ABS-GF (click for GIF on mobile)Manual Support PaintingYou can paint manual supports on the outside of the model for all layers under a threshold using the method shown below.Multi-material Supports For users with multi-material capabilities another option is to use a dedicated support filament to make them easier to remove at the cost of additional filament changes. This is done by selecting the
