Maker builds own 3D printer to create mini golf club
Original: Something so satisfying about designing and building my own 3d printer (+ partial voron toolhead and lgx extruder, etc.)
A hobbyist has designed and built a custom 3D printer, incorporating a partial Voron toolhead and an LGX extruder, with the end goal of producing what they call the ultimate mini golf club. The project highlights the do-it-yourself RepRap spirit, where printers are used to make parts for other machines, and the playful payoff has drawn amused reactions from the maker community.
Why now: The quirky combination of an ambitious self-built printer and a trivially fun end product is charming makers online.
