A printed cap that marks LAST BALL on a golf ball, for the one at the bottom of the bag on the 14th tee.

The ball you tee up on the 14th with real fear, because it is the only one left in the bag and the next hole has water down the left. LAST over BALL, two four-letter lines in big letters. Both As and the B keep their middles on thin stencil bridges.
Made with our free golf ball stencil generator, not modelled by hand: we typed LAST / BALL into its Initials field on two lines, chose the Bold & Blocky font and set Size to 30 mm. Everything else is the tool's default, and the STL in the zip is exactly what the tool gives you: a 70 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, and that is the joke: every ball in the bag says LAST BALL, so you will never know which one really is. The cap marks as many balls as you like, about a minute each once you have the knack.
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 20 min and 15 g of PLA (estimated from the file, not sliced); a current printer is faster.
Yes. Open the free golf ball stencil generator, choose Initials and type your own words, up to two lines of six characters, and pick the Bold & Blocky font to match this one. The Ball size, Clearance and Size sliders fit a different ball or change the mark; this one uses a Size of 30 mm.
