Monkeyball Control Panel / Stick Full Reproduction

plasticfactory · Sep 5, 2025

Have a bit of a long term project in reproducing the entire Monkeyball Banana control panel assembly. First is the banana.

3D scanned and finished in Solidworks. These models are 1:1 to the original bananas, or about as 1:1 as I think is reasonably possible. When I share the models, hopefully someone more-expert in MB can take a look to spot any errors

There is still some model repair to be done, but I should be good to print these to test early next week.

I understand this has been done before, but there are some long term plans with these.

For now, I just need to wrap up the modelling, test fit, then I'll post the CAD to my Printables and next steps.

This is great news. I'm happy that there's still work being done to get us closer to a perfect repro banana

Thanks! These are being injection molded, which the mold is largely designed. I have too many ongoing projects to get too into the weeds here, but wanted to get the CAD out there at least. Files should be posted Sunday.
