This is a solid pokeball designed to be a miniature for use as a prop with dolls and figures in tinier scales where functionality isn't necessary and makes pieces fragile. I tried a couple of the other files I found here and struggled to get prints that were sturdy enough to even paint and assemble.
The file is scaled for Breyer's Traditional scale which is roughly 1:9, the final piece is approximately 8.2mm in diameter. It should easily scale down to 1:12 or up to 1:6 or even 1:4.
To print these with my resin printer I place each one on a single 5mm tall support (directly on the lowest point of the ball) with a raft a little bigger than the diameter of the ball.
For my support I doubled the size of the point where the support meets the model. With my first batch, using the default support settings I had about a 50% failure rate for my prints. They were getting ripped off right at the support attachment. When I reprinted a batch using the larger attachment point I had a
