Golf - Divot Repair Tool - plus ball marker holder (with exposed magnet holder)

For the conscientious golfer who likes to fix their ball marks made due to hard impacts with the green surface by their ball so that other players can also enjoy a smooth green surface.

Usage
Divot repair tool - Ergonomic design with thumb and finger placement zones.  Grip tightly and press spikes vertically into the surface 3-4cm deep along outer edge of ball impact (divot) area.  Next press fixer towards the center of the impact area and remove divot fixer.  Repeat process on 3 remaining perpendicular sides of the impact area.

Ball Marker holder - with magnet in holder slot this can be used for a standard 24mm metallic ball marker. With marker in holder press down on ball marker edge section to better access marker.

Assembly
A single 10mm x 2mm magnet (available at Amazon.ca) need to be placed into preset hole post printing in ball marker holder area.   Recommend using super glue to adhere magnet into slot.  If printed with SLA printer once the magnet is set in place a layer of resin over the magnet can be cured and sanded to seal in magnet.

Printing Tips

• If printing using SLA printer (best results)

  • Print at 35 degrees from vertically with plenty of support

  • 0.05mm layer height and solid (no hollow spaces)

  • Use ABS Like resin

• If printing using FDM

  • Print using PETG

  • Print with flat surface down and supports for ball marker and thumb placement.

  • Print with 2 perimeters and 0.15mm layer height with 25% infill
