Maker builds custom 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 their own 3D printer, incorporating a partial Voron toolhead and an LGX extruder, only to use the machine to produce what they call the ultimate mini golf club. The project highlights the growing culture of self-built RepRap-style printers, where the joy lies as much in the build process as in the oddly specific objects it can then create.

Why now: The humorous payoff of building an entire custom printer just to make a mini golf club is resonating with the maker community.
