I. Structural design

1. The main body of the basketball hoop
The overall design is an oval shallow basin, with the side walls slightly outward, a flat bottom without protrusions, and both the inner and outer walls retaining the regular 3D printing layer texture. It is a one-piece molding without splicing seams, with uniform wall thickness, stable load-bearing and low susceptibility to deformation.
​
2. Integrated handle structure
The curved wide handle is printed and molded in synchronization with the basket body, and the two ends are seamlessly connected to the two sides of the basket mouth, without buckles, screws, or adhesive parts. The handle's curvature fits the palm, and the wide design provides a comfortable grip without pinching the hand. The vertical arch provides ample space for picking up items, and the overall structure is sturdy and less prone to breakage.
​
3. Integral molding process
The whole thing does not need to be assembled and can be completed in a single print; there are no complex supports at the bottom, so it can be printed by simply placing it flat. The consumables are compatible with PLA/PETG, and it is waterproof and resistant to bumps. The inner wall is smooth, making it easy to clean.

II. Usage scenarios

1. Fruit and vegetable storage
The shallow elliptical basin has a moderate capacity and can hold various fruits such as apples, oranges, and berries. The open-top design makes it easy to take and put away. The shallow bottom is not easy to stack and squeeze, which can damage fresh fruits.
​
2. Desktop storage
Place a dining table, coffee table, and desk to store candies, nuts, aromatherapy products, small decorations, and cosmetic items. This not only provides storage space but also enhances the decorative effect of the desktop.
​
3. Portable and easy to use
The curved handle makes it easy to carry the whole basket, which can be carried to the dining table, sofa, or balcony, making it lightweight and effortless. The simple, matte design complements various home decor styles, including rustic, minimalist, and Japanese-inspired designs.
​
4. Multi-functional use
It can also be used as a small picking basket, a desktop storage basket for miscellaneous items, and a planting pot for succulents, serving multiple purposes with a single item.
