Team Aqua Ball — 3D Printed Pokéball
Hoenn's most devoted ocean enthusiasts deserve their own Poké Ball (and honestly, the design is pretty great). This hand-finished 3D printed collectible is a tribute to Team Aqua's iconic branding, printed in their signature navy and teal colours right here at my workshop in the Netherlands.
Dimensions fully assembled: approximately 12 × 12 × 12 cm (L × W × H)
Designed by N3D. Printed, finished and shipped by Hand of Stardust.

✦ Trivia
Not a Real Poké Ball
The Team Aqua Ball is not an actual in-game item, it's a fictionalised design from the Pokémon Trading Card Game, representing Team Aqua's branding rather than a functional capture tool. That hasn't stopped it becoming a collector's favourite.
Symbolic of Their Mission
The Team Aqua Ball's anchor-shaped logo symbolises the team's goal to expand the world's oceans. Their motivation, however misguided, was rooted in a genuine belief that a world of water would be better for Pokémon and humanity alike.
The Kyogre Connection
Team Aqua's ultimate ambition in Pokémon Emerald is to awaken Kyogre, the legendary sea Pokémon. This storyline culminates in a dramatic showdown in Sootopolis City, with Rayquaza ultimately intervening to restore balance, one of the most memorable set pieces in Hoenn's story.
Team Aqua's Pokémon
Team Aqua Grunts and Admins typically use Pokémon like Carvanha, Sharpedo, Mightyena, and Zubat: leaning into the aquatic and dark themes that define the team's identity throughout the Hoenn games.

Living with a print
It's a print, so it reads like one up close. Seams get sanded, supports get cleaned off, nothing gets filled in to fake a moulded look.
PLA starts to soften around 50 °C. A sunny windowsill is fine: a parked car in August is not.
Dry brush or a soft cloth. If it needs more than that, lukewarm water and patience: no solvents.
