Tennis ball bearing · 模型 15058
Sometimes all it takes for you to create a new habit is something that captures your imagination. This is just a box to store tennis balls, nothing to it. A visual pun that you can hang it on your wall. But here's the thing; it will remind you to exercise whenever you see it. Place it so that you will see it when you wake up, or when you finish work, or whenever you want to go exercise. You usually need three things to create a new habit: A trigger, a routine and a reward. This is the trigger. Do not underestimate it. Take one ball out of the bearing every day and play. The fact that you enjoy the object itself and how it's made actually gives you a bit of dopamine and strengthens your new habit. I kid you not, it's often these tiny things that finally get you started and keep you going. At least that's my experience. I first saw this idea articulated in this book about starting and keeping tiny habits: http://fitnessreloaded.com/surprisingly-unstuck/ The bearing is made up of two large printed parts, and each will have to be split up into several smaller parts in order to be 3D printed at home. The piece size will depend on the printer, so I will leave that to you. The bearing can however be printed in one piece on FATHOM's FDM printer. FDM is the ideal way to print this because you can make the part hollow yet stiff. Otherwise you would use up an obscene amount of expensive material making what is essentially a novelty item. Unfortunately I can't show the bearing to you on video because I don't have access to a big enough printer. To get a satisfying object I would want it printed without joins. For best results, put the parts in a Stratasys vapor smoothing station and then electroplate! That would look amazing, but ends up being expensive. Next best is to spray paint the printed parts silver. Third best is 3D printing in dark grey ABS. . . . P.S. I've also uploaded a ping pong ball bearing, if that's your thing. After all, more people have a ping pong table than a tennis court. This bearing is a lot smaller, but still too big for most hobbyist 3D printers. P.P.S. I will upload the bearing with your favourite bearing manufacturer logo embossed if you want.
