Mini Mini Putt Putt - Modular Tabletop Golf Course (Complete Set)

Mini Mini Putt Putt

An endlessly-configurable modular mini putt course for your tabletop!

• Over 20 configurable components, including obstacles, bank-shots, and tube connectors
• Add a fairway (model grass mat, fabric, EVA foam) for a real putting experience
• Connect a tube for multi-level courses
• Designed for 6mm airsoft or .177 caliber (4.5mm) BB "golf balls"
• Includes gutter infills that will allow for "Easy Mode," a more casual putting experience. 

Printing Tips:

• Can be printed in any material, including PLA, using as little as 5% infill.
• Recommended to print at .15mm layer height (if you've got the time), gyroid infill, and "monotonic lines" top fill.
• The "male" connectors (on straight pieces and joiners) benefit from using supports, which can be cut back in increments to ensure a tighter fit within the "female" connection points.
• The tube connectors are designed for a slight compression fit. Recommended to print these with an organic support for simple removal and no cleanup.

Assembly Tips:

• Tested with both copper-coated .177 caliber (4.5mm) and 6mm biodegradable plastic BBs. You can use anything small and round that's smaller than 7mm, including making your own by rolling some oven bake clay between your fingers and giving it a light bake.
• While fairways aren't required, a smooth ball may roll too easily on printed filament, even on a perfectly level surface. Other options to cutting fairways could be roughening the top play surface or adding a textured medium/spray.
• Fairways have been designed for model grass mats (example), textured EVA foam (example), or a stiff thin felt, which can be cut using a Cricut or similar cutter. They can also be stenciled and hand-cut. Recommend this material be less than 1mm thick.
• Affix your chosen fairway material with rubber cement or similar adhesive.
• Tube connectors have been designed for clear vinyl tubing, ½" inside diameter, ¾" outside diameter, which typically comes in 10ft lengths for $10CAD  (example)
• Add a slight chamfered edge on the inner radius of the tubing with a sharp blade if it doesn't line up perfectly.
• Tubes can be heated slightly with a heat-gun or hair dryer to make them a little easier to bend into desired shape.
