Airless basketball
This filament works great for 3-D printing, the airless basketball on a Bambu P1S Printer

Terrible customer service and manufacturer
Followed all of the manufacturer’s recommendations as far as settings. I calibrated and leveled my Bambu a1 right before print. Used their cryogrip build plate. I even printed a smaller 5” ball before the print of the bigger ball (with cracked also due to what I thought to be excessive use or scaling down the size caused weakness in the model. The big ball printed out, and the quality was decent. However, I dropped the ball from about 3 feet in the air ( waist high) and the ball shattered. I emailed the manufacturer and they would not replace the filament. I was very disappointed in the customer service and the fact that they are selling shotty materials and will not replace if you followed all the recommended steps. BUYER BEWARE!

Great TPU alternative.
Love this filament for TPU replacement. It is better in every way than the TPU that I have used in the past. It’s very durable, is relatively hard yet flexible, but most importantly it can take a real beating and survive. I’ve printed tennis balls out of this and they just work. Tires, wiper, gaskets, all good options for this filament. I use a 0.6mm nozzle and as long as it’s very dry, it prints easily.

Great bounce, check for tangles
Only thing keeping it from 5 stars was the fact I needed to re spool it because I had some tangles early in the roll. Filament prints and bounces great

Great Product
Printed with a Bambulab X1C. Used .6mm nozzle and .3mf file supplied by Biqu. Print speed at 80mm/s and 230C. Thank God I used 3dLac spray on the smooth PEI bed. Otherwise, I would not have been able to remove the print without damaging the plate. This stuff sticks! Dried the heck out of the filament at 45C for 24 hours. Biqu says use 60 – 65C, but I don’t trust that much heat for PLA. Print was a little rougher than I would hope due to .6mm nozzle and maybe the print speed. Printed without a hitch and bounces pretty well. My grandson absolutely loves it.

Expensive
Good filament and prints well. Just a little way too pricy

The end result is not worth the money or time
I setup my printer as per their directions and downloaded their model. I dried the filament before printing. It took 56hrs to print and finished looking perfect. It bounced on the ground 4 times before it split in the middle, like in other reviews that I have seen. For how long it takes drying the filament and then printing, just to have it break in under 5 minutes, it is just not worth the money.

Severe warping.
I have been trying to print a basketball and haven’t had a successful print yet. The print constantly warps and pulls free from the bed. I have an enclosed printer (X1 C) and have printed with Elmers, Bambu’s glue, and without. The prints pull free from the plate every time. This has eaten two complete rolls of filament. This makes for an expensive fail.
