Inspired by the Wilson Airless GEN 1 Basketball, this fully functional airless basketball uses BIQU PLA HR filament to bounce exactly like a real basketball would!
The elegant design includes a 3D Printed double-hex lattice structure, which contributes to the ball's realistic bounce and sturdy feel in the hand.
An excellent display piece or something to play games with, this is a must have for those that want something cool and useable, but don't want to spend the better half of £3,000 to have it.

NOTE:
Airless Basketballs in general are not the same as normal basketballs, while they will bounce and handle similarly, shooting with any Airless Basketball will be different as they are not subject to the Magnus Effect like regular basketballs are due to their honeycomb patterned holes. This causes the majority of people's shots on Airless Basketballs to fall shorter than they would with a regular basketball.
Basketballs are MADE TO ORDER so turnaround time is 1 month. While the basketball can be used, it is not as durable as a regular basketball, as such, we do not accept returns for damaged or broken basketballs.
10% of the sale of each Airless Basketball will go right back to directly supporting the designer BU4D. Receipts of which will be posted on our blog for every 10 sales made.
