Christmas is coming you dusted off your xmas tree and decorated it: everybody try to make it different, buying new decorations and balls of different colors. Well, if you are looking for something original, think of making your personalized balls with drawings and writings at will.
Here comes this machine: a printer, or better to say a plotter, which will draw with a marker on spheres at will, derived from models transformed into G-code files. The machine is easily doable with a few 3D printable pieces

You can build it yourself:

New 3d printing filament family by Kai Parthy the PORO-LAY. The new filament family consists of four different filaments: LAY-FELT, LAY-TEKKKS, LAY-FOMM and GEL-LAY with different properties.




From description:

PORO-LAY line (4 filaments)
dedicated for:

LAY-FELT
• 3d-membranes
• filters
• semipermeables
• future cloth
• artificial paper
soft and
stiff fibres possible
note: the filament contain no microfibres !!!

LAY-FOMM
• micro-foam,
• sponges
• ink-reservoirs
• bio-cells
• elastics...
• bendable suits
• soft rubber-like (under Shore A10), different softness possible

GEL-LAY
• objects in water
• marine organism
flow simulation
• biomechanics
muscles
high porosity,
the object is very unstable 

LAY-TEKKKS
• orientated fibres
• stacked fibres
• future cloths
• tissue
