Golf Putter Torque Revealer - Fully 3D Printed

Introducing my fully 3D printed putter revealer.  Used for checking the balance of zero torque putters and lie angle balanced putters (LAB / L.A.B.).  Been working on this for a long time and finally getting around to uploading it.  Designed 100% from scratch.  I was questioning the balance of a “zero torque” putter I purchased and wanted to test it out, thus this was born.  In addition to the included universal grip attachment (threaded - similar to Arccos), I have also included a SuperStroke adapter for grips that have the tech port.  The only non 3D printed part it needs is a 608 bearing, or It can be 100% 3D printed if you also print a 608 bearing (I recommend this one as I have personally tried it).  Only 3 total (small) supports, and I have fine tuned them for easy removal.  

IMPORTANT:

• Assembly instructions are in the photos, but please do not forget to install the dowels into the upper and lower assemblies FIRST (the middle extension pieces are hollow all the way through - so theoretically the dowels could be fully inserted into them with no way to get them out).
• I have also recommended glue in a couple of areas (see photos), but in my experience it hasn't all been needed - I did have one putter fall out on me and it was because the threads in the pivot assembly became loose, that would be the one area I definitely recommend using glue - but make sure the glue is only on the threads as it needs to spin freely otherwise.  

I have also uploaded an A1 Mini version.  This one required extra “extension” pieces and I think glue would be a good idea for those pieces as it may be slightly flimsy without (although I have not tested this version myself yet - it may be just fine).

I am including a Tolerance Test I created when fine tuning the dowels that hold the whole thing together.  If you print these 2 pieces and they hold together tightly but not too tight that you break the dowel, then it is perfect.  If the fit feels too snug or too lose, I would start by scaling the X axis of the dowel by .01 at a time and re-try.   

Lastly, I highly recommend opening the file from here directly into Bambu Studio and printing with my settings.  I have printed way too many prototypes of these parts and made adjustments to the print settings along the way (a lot of fine tuning).  If you are unable to do that, I will highlight the most important parts:

• Use at least 3 walls for the main (large) parts
• 10% infill is fine for the main parts (use 15% for the other smaller parts)
• The main (large) parts can be printed in .28 layer height to save time
• Do not use a brim for the “lower assembly” as it could scratch your putter shaft (my settings only use a brim for 2 parts)
• The threaded parts all need to be printed in .12 layer height
• The upper assembly needs a single support for the pivot area
• The Pivot hook needs support for the hook itself
• The Grip hook needs support for the thread area
