A printed cap that marks FORE! on a golf ball, so your ball apologises before it lands in the next fairway.

A printed cap that marks FORE! on a golf ball, so your ball apologises before it lands in the next fairway.
The one word every golfer knows how to shout, now on the ball itself. If your drive is heading for the group on the next tee, at least the ball has already said sorry. It is a single line of five characters: the O and the R each keep their middle with a thin stencil bridge, and the exclamation mark cuts as two separate openings, a bar and a dot.
Made with our free golf ball stencil generator, not modelled by hand: we typed FORE! into its Initials field, chose the Bold & Blocky font and set Size to 32 mm. 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.
Print the file as exported: rim flat on the bed, dome up, with tree supports on (organic in PrusaSlicer).
Peel the supports out of the inside of the dome.
Wipe the ball clean so the ink bites, then seat the cap on top and press the rim down until it cups the ball.
Draw through each opening with short strokes from the edges inwards.
Lift the cap straight up and leave the ink for a minute before you touch it.

Yes. The bar and the dot of the exclamation mark are two separate openings in the cap with solid plastic between them, so nothing is loose and nothing needs a bridge. Dab the dot with the pen tip rather than drawing it, and it comes out round.
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. Sliced in PrusaSlicer 2.7.2 at 0.2 mm layers it takes about 1 h 19 min and 15 g of PLA.
