3D Printed Ball Stencil


Recommended Posts

So I realized around the beginning of a round I was playing the other day that the ProV1 stamp on my ball was ever so slightly curved to one side. As I normally just use that to align my putts, it was really throwing me off, and I've decided to go with the sharpie/stencil route. However, I also don't like paying 15 bucks for an easily breakable piece of plastic, and I was wondering if anyone knew of a 3D printer file that could be used to make a golf ball stencil. Ideally I just want a straight line or even something like Callaway's Triple Track, and since I have access to a 3D printer at school I figured this could be a cool way to get some original markers for my ball.

Don't know why you'd buy one for $15 when you can just stick the golf ball in an empty toilet paper tube.

I've had one for about that long and there's no way to break it except for intentionally. Also, it costs around $7.

$7 on amazon prime.

 

I think the PVC coupler wins unless you want the extra lines the line em up gives. PVC coupler is likely less than $1.

Haha realistically I don't quite care about the 15 bucks. I'm a tinkerer by nature and I like creating things with my hands I can use. I also quite like Calloway's triple track alignment, but hate their balls. I guess my question is more if someone had a 3D template to attempt to print something. Figure it's a cool project and I could branch it out into making any alignment I'd like.

honestly modifying the cad is not even hard if you are set on the 3d printing route

if you have a 3d printer you should get good at it anyway since you have aspirations of making it into any alignment you want.

If not are you just taking it into a 3d print shop? bet they could quickly modify the file for you.

 

Another option, for a starting point

Good point - I have access to a number of 3D printers at school. So I should probably learn how to modify it myself. Thanks for the link too, that's one of the better looking ones I've seen

Nice! You can make a golfwrx one after you perfect it and monetize your investment into learning cad lol
