Ball and Catcher Game

i made a ball and catcher game because it is simple and fun to play with.

you can use any 3d printing material of your choice and a 3d printer

first draw the 2 circles which will form the cup used to catch the ball. the outer circle should be 1.474 inches in radius and the inner should have a radius of 1.25 inches. Then draw the handle. you can draw the handle any size you want, I made mine 5.5 inches with a .75 inch semi circle on the end of it.

next extrude the inner circle and hand up .2 inches. you can change the handle size if you want it a little thicker, but .2 works just fine.

next select the outer circle and extrude 1 inch up.

next draw a circle and split it in half with a line. if you want a hole in the ball you can put a rectangle in the circle sketch, so that it goes straight out towards the edge of the circle. after this, select the half circle and revolve around the center line. this will create your sphere. use the move tool to make sure they are level and you can export.

now you can export the piece and using the slicing software of your choice, slice it and print it on your 3d printer. the printer and material don't matter as long as your printer is big enough to print it.

now you can throw the ball up, bounce it off walls, or whatever you desire and catch it back in the cup. Have fun!
