Mason Brand Baseballs

[FinShaggy]

Hope that the brand catches on and your bro will be forever remembered as part of Mason Brand

I hope so too. I'm working to see if we can make our baseballs with 3D printing machines So you can make one yourself at home. Maybe even be the first printable baseball.

That would be absolutely disastrous and completely unnecessary as the process is highly automated as it is. How baseballs are made.

Wouldn't that actually mean that it is completely possible, and probably not as hard as I first thought?

You surely did not watch the video link before commenting. Please retract later when possible.

I know how baseballs are made. Layers and layers of different material, and wound with a rubber band type substance. All of that could be done with a 3D printer, and the outside could be a cushiony plastic, and seems would be unnecessary and would only remain part of the ball (not actually stitched, just sprayed on) for the pitchers.

sounds fake to me any proof of anything u say?

Yeah, I already posted the link elsewhere, so you can look for that, or Google search "Mason Wight Castle Rock".

ok i see now so u are drew?

Why do you ask? How is this important?

I run the 3D printing machines at my local library.  I don't think printing them out would work well, as they only print out hard plastic.  

Technically, you can print out other materials (on specialized machines), but I don't think it would make sense on a baseball...

Maybe he could make Mason brand Wiffleballs instead.

Wiffleballs are easy to print.  You'd just need to add internal supports, and take them out at the end.

Is it super hot when it prints? If not, I guess you could use a could use a blow-up ball shape holder like a balloon and miniature beach ball.

Cools off almost instantly, unless you have a heated platform.  With the heated platform, it's just a little warm.

Also, this is theoretically possible, but not really practical.  When you print something, you start out with a completely new object each time (so you can't easily layer plastic).  Also, if you're buying a printer, the affordable ones only print PLA and ABS, which aren't soft.

I think just getting them made (from a manufacturer) would be much more practical.

Very true, it would be more practical. I am not making any decisions yet, just brainstorming.

I'm not Drew. Drew hardly knew Mason, and is pretending Mason was something he is not. It's not his fault that he didn't know Mason, I just wish he wasn't so brazzen with his ignorance. I don't hold any resentment though, it's over.

Condolences FinShaggy. Count me in for a ball when it makes production. I think it is a fantastic idea and a great way to honor your lil bro. Keep up the good work.

No offense but this has absolutely nothing to do with Bitcoin.  At best it should be in off topic, more realistically it shouldn't even be posted here.
