A picture puzzle for the golfer who is only really here for the halfway house: a foaming beer mug over the word ME, so the ball reads BEER ME. The mug is drawn the way a stencil has to be: the foam and the glass are separate openings with plastic between them, and the handle is a bracket that stops short of the glass, so nothing in the mug is a loose piece.

Made with our free golf ball stencil generator, not modelled by hand: we drew a beer mug over ME as an SVG, the word set in the tool's own Bold & Blocky outlines, chose Upload under Design from, loaded the file and set Size to 32 mm (the SVG is in the zip). Everything else is the tool's default, and the STL in the zip is exactly what the tool gives you: a 71 by 48 mm cap for a standard 42.67 mm ball, with a 2.4 mm wall, 0.5 mm of clearance, a skirt that reaches 12 degrees past the middle of the ball so it cups it, and two tabs with 7 mm holes for a rubber band. Like every free download from the tool, it carries a small raised MESHCAST mark on its underside, along one tab.

Seat it on the ball, draw through the openings with a fine permanent marker, lift it off, and the joke is on the ball in under a minute. It makes a cheap, quick gift for a golfer: print the cap, mark a sleeve of balls, hand over both.

Shown as a 3D render of the printed stencil on a golf ball and a second ball with the words drawn through it, not a photo.

What you need

4
  • A standard golf ball, 42.67 mm
  • A fine permanent marker (the letters are small, a chisel tip is too broad)
  • About 14 g of PLA or PETG
  • A rubber band, if you want to hold the cap on through the tab holes

How to make it

5

  1. Print the file as exported: rim flat on the bed, dome up, with tree supports on (organic in PrusaSlicer).

  2. Peel the supports out of the inside of the dome.

  3. Wipe the ball clean so the ink bites, then seat the cap on top and press the rim down until it cups the ball.

  4. Draw through each opening with short strokes from the edges inwards.

  5. Lift the cap straight up and leave the ink for a minute before you touch it.

Questions about this design

Why is the beer mug on the BEER ME golf ball stencil in separate pieces?

So the cap holds together. A stencil cannot cut a closed ring, the plastic inside it would fall out, so the foam, the glass and the handle are three openings with thin strips of cap between them. On the ball the gaps read as the edge of the foam and the handle, the way a stencilled mug always looks.

How do I print the BEER ME golf ball stencil?

Print it as exported, rim flat on the bed and the dome up, with tree supports switched on (organic in PrusaSlicer, tree in Bambu Studio, Orca and Cura). They hold up the inside of the dome and peel out easily. At 0.2 mm layers and MK3-class speeds it takes about 1 h 15 min and 14 g of PLA (estimated from the file, not sliced); a current printer is faster.

Can I change the picture or the word on the BEER ME golf ball stencil?

Yes. The zip carries the artwork as an SVG of plain outlines: change the word or the picture in any vector editor, then open the free golf ball stencil generator, choose Upload and load your file. It cuts whatever you draw and ties any loose middle back on with a bridge; this one uses a Size of 32 mm.
