Description
Note: Many users have found the longer/scaled up print profile has worked better. Be sure to try both if you continue having issues.
This is just a small part that is meant to fix a small Ball Jamming Issue with a golf ball dispenser that's available on MakerWorld.
This golfball dispenser is an amazing print! I highly recommend printing it… it is made by @christofer.jh and can be found HERE
The small problem I had with this, is that fairly often the ball lift would get stuck by the next ball being dispensed. This only happened when you pressed the lever down fully. So, you could simply tap the lever more lightly and avoid this problem, but chances are it will happen again.
So this small part just slips on right below the opening of the lever and prevents you from pushing it down all the way.
(There's also a slightly longer print profile available in case that suits your needs better👍)
So no more jamming!
I hope this small fix helps anyone else experiencing the problem.
Second print plate:
I added a second plate with a modified version of the part. This modified version has a lip to prevent the part from falling into the golf mechanism. Some users reported frustration with the part falling in like this, so I hope this solves the problem.
Happy Printing!
