Meet the Mini Golfers!

This is the core of my new tabletop mini-golf set. These 3D-printable golfers are designed to be fun, functional, and easy to assemble.

Key Features:

• 100% 3D Printable: No supports, glue, or extra hardware needed.
• Multi-color Friendly: Designed to look great in multiple colors.
• Two Versions Included:
  1. 2-Part Design (Torso + Legs): Uses a simple "free spring" action.
  2. 3-Part Design (Torso + Legs + Pusher): Features a built-in ratchet mechanism, allowing you to "lock" the spring tension in three different power positions.

What’s in the files? The download includes the golfer parts and the golf balls. I am also designing custom levels for the game, which you can find by visiting my profile!

A couple of tips: 

• The golfer's embedded spring works reliably in PLA, but PETG could be a better choice for long-term durability.
• If you can, try 0.2 mm nozzle for the golf balls, you'll get a much cleaner print and a smoother roll. 
• Also if you can, try the “hardware” ball variation where you can clip a 4 mm bearing ball inside (no glue needed) it will greatly improve your game experience.
• And while we're at it, you can also try to print them in TPU, you'll thank me later.

Feedback Welcome! This is an ongoing project, so I would love to hear your thoughts. If you print it, please share a make and let me know how it plays!

Happy printing!
