Print ultra-durable, high-resilience airless basketballs with BIQU PLA-HR, a specially formulated flexible filament designed to replicate the feel and bounce of an NBA-grade basketball—without inflation. This filament delivers unmatched performance, combining strength, elasticity, and dimensional accuracy for functional sports prototyping.

Features

  • Precision Filament: 1.75mm diameter with ±0.03mm tolerance ensures smooth feeding and compatibility with most FDM 3D printers.
  • Optimized for Airless Basketballs: Delivers realistic bounce and feel—no inflation required. Printed ball weighs approx. 605–610g.
  • Durable & Resilient: Withstands rough play without deformation or loss of structure.
  • Flexi Tough Material: High resilience absorbs and returns impact energy for natural performance.
  • Wide Printer Compatibility: Works with Bambu Lab X1/P1/A1 series, Ender-3, K1 Max, BIQU BX, Kobra 2/3, FlashForge Adventurer 5M Pro, and more.

Recommended Print Settings

We strongly recommend using our .3mf file to ensure the best performance and ball quality. If configuring manually, refer to the image settings provided with the product.

Elevate your 3D printing game with BIQU PLA-HR – engineered for sports, designed for innovation.

About this product

Despite the 'PLA' name, is this actually a rigid PLA?
No — PLA-HR (High Resilience) is a specialty flexible formulation, not standard rigid PLA, despite sharing the name. It's engineered to replicate the bounce and feel of an inflated basketball without any air inside, which means it behaves more like a flexible/rubber-like material during printing than a typical PLA spool.
What print settings does BIQU recommend for a successful airless basketball print?
BIQU recommends 215–225°C nozzle temperature and strongly suggests using their provided .3mf slicer file (available on their GitHub) rather than configuring settings manually from scratch, since the specific print profile matters a lot for getting the correct bounce and structural performance out of the finished ball.
Which printers does BIQU confirm this works on?
BIQU lists broad compatibility including Bambu Lab X1/P1/A1 series, Ender-3, K1 Max, BIQU BX, Kobra 2/3, and FlashForge Adventurer 5M Pro, among others. As a flexible material, though, feed it directly from an external spool holder rather than through an automated multi-material system like AMS or CFS.
How much does a printed basketball actually weigh, and is that close to a real one?
BIQU states a printed ball weighs approximately 605–610g, which lands right in the range of a standard NBA-size basketball (roughly 600-625g), giving it realistic heft and bounce dynamics for functional sports prototyping or novelty use. It's a detail worth confirming against your specific printer and setup before committing to a long print job.

Filament questions

Ordering & Shipping

We currently ship within the United States. Most in-stock orders placed before 12:00 PM CT ship the same business day.

Shipping is free on orders over $50; below that, flat rates start at $4.99 on orders over $25. You'll get a tracking number by email as soon as your parcel is on its way.

Payments & Billing

We accept all major credit cards, Shop Pay, and the accelerated checkout options shown at the top of the cart. Your card is charged when the order is placed.

Need to change or cancel an order? Email us right away and we'll do our best to help before it ships.

Returns & Refunds

Unused parts can be returned within 30 days in their original packaging. A flat $4.99 return shipping fee applies — email us first and we'll send return instructions.

Received the wrong item or something arrived defective? Contact us right away and we'll make it right with a replacement or full refund, no return fee in that case. Full details on our return policy page.

Printer & AMS Compatibility

Bambu filament is RFID-tagged, so AMS reads the type and colour automatically and sets temperatures for you. It also runs on any standard FDM printer that takes 1.75mm filament.

Storage & Drying

Keep filament sealed with desiccant when you're not printing. A fresh, sealed roll doesn't need drying — only dry it if prints start showing stringing or popping after the roll has been open a while.

Support

A real person answers our support email — not a bot. If a part arrives faulty or doesn't fit as described, tell us what happened and we'll make it right.
