The souvenir-ball layout, an I and a heart over a word, with the word most golfers are actually thinking about by the back nine. It is the tool's Template mark: I and the heart on top, BEER underneath. Four letters is the sweet spot for the template, so the mark comes out big and bold, and the B keeps its two middles on thin stencil bridges.

Made with our free golf ball stencil generator, not modelled by hand: we chose Template, typed BEER into its word field, kept the heart symbol, chose the Bold & Blocky font and set Size to 28 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.

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 15 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.
