Pokemon Fan Makes Incredible Hisuian Poke Ball Using 3D Printer

The time difference gives the Poke Ball an antique look that closely resembles a hand-crafted item, and SirYak's 3D-printed Hisuian Poke Ball expertly mimics that aesthetic.

Because the clip ends before SirYak opens the Hisuian Poke Ball, it's currently unclear if the reproduced Pokemon Legends: Arceus item can hold things like it contains Pokemon in the game.

According to SirYak, a wood filament was used for the base of the Hisuian Poke Ball to give the replica the same texture it has in Pokemon Legends: Arceus. A silk red filament was used to depict the top part of the Hisuian Poke Ball, while gray is used for the additional features because SirYak didn't have any metallic
