Description
⛳ Introducing the Golf Ball Dispenser Pro – A Complete Redesign! ⛳
After revisiting my original dispenser from last season, I realized it needed a bigger magazine, better reliability, and an overall smoother experience. Instead of patching the old design, I decided to start fresh - this new dispenser is only a spiritual successor to the older model, with every aspect rethought to make your golf practice more efficient and enjoyable.
Key Features
- Zero Extra Hardware:
100% 3D printed. No glue, rubber bands, screws, or bolts required. Simply add golf balls! - Bigger Magazine:
Holds up to 25 golf balls, so you can spend more time practicing and less time refilling.- Need more capacity? Check out the Ball Garage XL (44 balls): https://makerworld.com/en/models/2651476-ball-garage-xl-for-golf-ball-dispenser-pro#profileId-2931426
- Smooth Feeding Mechanism:
Reliably places a ball on your tee with a simple on/off pedal, removing any guesswork or jammed balls. It dispenses exacly one ball for each press. - Adjustable Height:
Optional leg extensions (2, 10, 15, and 20 mm) accommodate higher mats or tees. Printed in TPU for a snug, non-slip fit. - Easy Assembly:
Roughly 8 parts slot together seamlessly; it’s sturdy yet hassle-free to build. - Compact & Printer-Friendly:
Designed to fit on the A1 mini, with the dispensing arm split into two pieces on that printprofile. - (NEW) Adjustable legs: Print the optional adjustable legs to lift 3cm or just to handle uneven floor.
- Filament Usage:
Requires about 3/4 roll of filament. It’s a worthy trade-off for a truly reliable ball dispenser. You asked for this!
Thank you, and enjoy a smoother golf season with the all-new Golf Ball Dispenser Pro!

I would appricate a boost! This model requried many testprints.
Upgrade to Ball Garage XL (44 balls)
You wanted more capacity, so here it is. Ball Garage XL upgrades the original with space for 44 balls, a reinforced structure that holds up over time, and a built-in guard so you can just pour balls in instead of stacking them. Same fit, simple swap (not compatible with the funnel).
Funnel!
This funnel makes it possible to pour in golf balls, it is not supposed to increase the capacity. There will be some jamming if overfilled! I use it to pour in many ball at the time, then the balls might need some adjusting when filled to the top. Still printable on A1 mini.

Picker!
Tired of picking up balls? This golf ball picker handles that part. Grab balls straight from the ground, drop them into a bucket or directly into the Golf Ball Dispenser Pro. It turns the setup into a complete system so you can just pick, load, and keep hitting.

Printing
Use my printprofiles for best result, I can't guarantee any others update the parts when I make changes. The ball holders needs some weight, so its printed with extra walls.
No supports needed! The bigger parts can be printed with 0.2mm layer height.
Changes
20250410: Gave the pusher and pedal some more room and chamfer to combat getting stuck. I reccomend printing on smooth plate.
20250416: Added adjustable legs, can extend to 3cm.
20250417: Fixed a small model error on pusher and pedal.
20250507: Fixed a small model error on pusher (again…).
Assembly
Check the provided assembly guide, or follow these images.
Insert the pusher from the top. DON'T force it down, it should drop down by gravity (sand if it doesn't). Make sure the pusher is connected correctly (by moving the pedal up/down).
Insert the pedal from the front.
Move the pedal upwards. Insert the axle, with the slot vertical. OBS: The pedal stays on top of the axel, not from the bottom (it falls out then).
Simply press down the pedal.
This is how it looks inside, pedal on top of the axle!
Test the pedal, it should move very freely and reset by gravity. If not, try sanding the axle or the parts that feel tight (I have given it plenty of tolerance).
Insert the stopper.
Take a sacrificial golf ball, insert between the two halves. I still count it as 100% 3d printed, just add golf balls ;)
Slide into the arm.
Screw on the nut (there is a tool to make it easier).
Just insert to the tower.
Optional, insert legs in the slots.
Slide on the ballgarage.
Fill with balls, have fun :)
Future upgrades
- Bigger magazine?
- Hopper style or funnel?
- Adjustable legs? Done!
