These “Ice Bubbles” are designed for spiralized printing to maximize translucency and minimize material and print time. These are great prints for your clear or translucent filaments!

You will need to print two pieces to make one ball. When printed with a 0.5mm nozzle, the balls require 3g, 5.4g, 8.4g of filament. That means 1kg of filament you could make approximately 333 small Ice Balls!

Here are some recommendations for spiralized printing:
- Use thick layer heights, 0.2mm or greater
- Set your “Bottom Layer” to 1
- Try using a skirt for bed adhesion, but if that is not working then try a brim. You will just have to remove the brim afterwards
- If you get funny stringing on the top layer, try moving the z-seam alignment around
