The file 'A Smoother Surface For The Snap Ball By DaveMakesStuff (remix) 3D Printer Model' is (scad,stl) file type, size is 2.0MB.
The "Snap Ball" by DaveMakesStuff is a wonderful model, but the top surface of the "Penta" part is not smooth, therefor the slicer does not make nice round circles on top.
The files “Truncated_Icosahedron_Penta-fix.stl” and “Truncated_Icosahedron_Hex-fix.stl” are the files that have been fixed. The Snap Ball in the photos is made with Silk PLA (Dark Copper and Sky Blue).
I used a OpenSCAD script to fix the shapes. The OpenSCAD script itself is also included.
The script shaves off a little from the top to make it smooth.
OpenSCAD is free software: https://openscad.org/
To use the script, put the OpenSCAD script in the same folder as the stl files.
The license of the stl files is the same as the original: CC BY-NC-SA
You may not sell the 3D printed parts.
