Golf Ball Picker System

I got tired of picking up balls.

The Golf Ball Dispenser Pro solved the dispensing part, but not the part where you walk around collecting everything after a session. At the range that’s not a problem. At home, it definitely is. And my kid isn’t always available for “help”.

So I made this.

What it is

A fully 3D printed golf ball picker.
A long tube with a nozzle that grabs balls straight from the ground.

It works on its own, or as part of the system.

How it works

• Push the nozzle onto a ball and it feeds into the tube
• Holds around 10 balls easily
• Add more or stronger rubber bands and you can hold more, but it takes more force to pick up balls

To empty:

• Pour from the top
• Or use the handle on the nozzle to release balls directly into a bucket
• Or straight into the Golf Ball Dispenser Pro

Yes, it’s a full ecosystem now.

Rubberbands around the nozzle.

Modular tube system

The tube prints in sections that screw together, so you can adjust the length.

• Tube lengths: 175 mm and 250 mm
• Example setup: 4 × 250 mm tubes

Prints on A1 Mini, but longer sections work better on larger printers like P1S.

Print details

• Fully 3D printed
• Only requires rubber bands
• No supports

But then it escalated

I made a stand for it.

And then it turned into another dispenser.

Picker Stand Dispenser

Place the picker upside down in the stand and use the pedal to release balls.

• Dispenses around 2 balls at a time
  • Can release more if the tube is very full, lets call it a feature….
• More consistent when you get lower in the tube

For me, the last 8 balls come out two at a time, which is exactly what I wanted.

A1 Mini printprofile need support.

Assembly

Just snap on the pedal from the top, add rubberband like this (its in the hole):

Stability options

If your surface is uneven, there are optional snap-on legs/adapters with holes for screws.

Or just do what I did and drop a bolt (image above) into a gap in the floor to keep it from moving.

Filament usage

If you print a full setup like shown:

• Just under 1 kg of filament

Why I made this

The dispenser solved hitting.
This solves everything around it.

Pick balls. Load system. Hit again.

Done.
