Description
This model is designed to look like a real impact point on glass and comes with two print profiles so you can choose between a tennis ball version or a golf ball version. It makes a super convincing window, mirror, or glass-surface prank piece and looks especially realistic once mounted. For the most realistic result, I highly recommend printing the crack portion in clear PLA or, even better, clear PETG. A smooth plate is also strongly recommended, since it gives the surface a much cleaner and more glass-like finish.
Boost MeYour BOOST helps support more experiments like this and motivates me to keep creating fun, unusual prints that push what’s possible with 3D printing.
To install, use clear, thin double-sided tape on the back and mount it onto any smooth surface like glass, acrylic, or mirrors. Use another double-sided tape to attach the ball to the shattered glass effect piece.
Printing/handling notes:
Be very careful when removing the crack piece from the print plate. Let the plate cool fully first, then use the scraper slowly and gently so the thin crack lines do not get damaged.
