Description

Finally, no more placing the golf ball on the tee manually like a peasant!

Load the machine with up to 12 golf balls, use the golf club on the pedal and watch the ball be presented for you.

You need:

5x3mm bolts + nuts
One rubber band
Golf balls
Some old coins for weight (about 113g)

Some parts need support when printing, my print profile handles that for you.

Build instructions

By popular demand, I have added a step-by-step build instruction.

Fastener nails/pins

For your convenience I have included some nails/pins. The tolerance for these are tight, If you find them to big you can do the following:

Scale them down and reprint (just the nails/pins)
Cut away from the top/edge/flange
NOT USE THEM, 3mm bolts work even better.

I added a small hole where a stopper (provided nail or bolt) can be added so that the pedal don't go to far.

The video is hard to see what is happening in parts at the beginning, its all hands and shadows w/o a clear idea of what part is being worked and is also long. The key steps at the end for the rubber band and weights are very good though. A picture of the parts where they go but not attached yet would be more useful and probably easier to make as the designer (this is done now and thanks!). the entire frame of mine broke trying to put the 'screw' in the slot for the pedal. the shaft of the pedal turner was in petg and was not a good print, the parts fit fine with good prints. Edit: i almost gave up but i reprinted (in pla pro/tough instead of petg) and glued some stuff back together and it works great! I set it on a book since i have carpet which solves most of the balance issues but, probably b/c its semibroken, it doesn't stay upright when its fully loaded. I plan to print a second one for my garage using the pla tough filament. I might add a 2nd triangle support to the front for stability.

noted! Will update with a exploded view of the assembly Edit: I have inserted a exploded view. Will make a step-by-step installation also.

Replying to @christofer.jh :

Thanks, I appreciate that! The design is pretty great, the nails are excellent and the way the ball drops in exactly the same place each time is really cool.

just to add, everything fit perfectly using my filament settings and optimized profile for my printer. pins fit as they should and kept everything secure.

Amazing design and fun project to print. Works well for a home setup in a simulator. Would love a pro version at some point which is a bit more rugged for range use and more ball capacity. Still, highly recommended to give it a try 👍🏻

Big thanks for the build pic :) Fun to see it prints with others printers.

@TioDaPrinter

amazing! I'm taking this to work and using to practice over and over! Great Job! I used m3 12 & 16 with nuts to put together!

1st phase looks great! I need to learn how to change filament to use different colors, but the A1 mini is a beast. I'm getting an hardcore bambu lab next year to pair with this one. also, these 3d professionals here got specs on point! I appreciate every single one of you.

The model works great! The prints worked great with Sunlu PLA+ and my filament settings. Only the assembly according to the video instructions is not so easy, as they are unfortunately not filmed very well. An illustrated PDF instruction would be much better.

@christofer.jh

Thanks for the feedback, could you take a look at the newly attached PDF instructions and let me know if it's a hit or miss?

@danielguddas

With pleasure. The instructions are great!
