Summary

I wasn't satisfied with the object permanence boxes available, so created my own improved version.

Improvements include:

  • Sloped floor
  • No sharp edges
  • No sharp corners
  • No supports needed for the box
  • STL exports were terribly coarse, no harm in using more elements people!
  • This ended up being an igloo instead of a box, but does it matter? Its safe(er)! :D

By my unofficial reckoning, this ball satisfies the non-chocking hazard requirements as listed in 16 C.F.R. ยง 1501.4 so long as the ball is rigid enough to maintain its shape. Hence, I recommend printing a ball instead of using a 'ping pong ball'

128g, 9.5h, 0.4mm nozzle

40mm (standard ping pong ball) = 1.57in > 1.25in.

Cheers!
