Thingiverse user Benoît Josse created this clever plastic & rubbler-band ball:

A few years ago I was interested in Penultimate Modular Origami by James S. Plank folding paper into geometrical spheres.

Now there’s a RapMan in my stable and paper turned into polylactic acid. This is my first printed object, I hope you”ll enjoy it! Can be pressed, stretched, thrown, twisted, and the bow-connectors could be basic elements for connecting rubbers into anything!
