Description

The Makers Mallard is Grassland Discs’ first maker-focused disc release: a printable version of our Mallard disc designed for people who want to experiment with 3D printed disc golf.

 

This model was created as a way to open up disc golf design to more players, makers, tinkerers, and 3D printing enthusiasts. We know releasing a printable disc may look a little unusual for a disc golf company, but we believe this is part of the future: more access, more experimentation, and more people getting hands-on with the sport.

 

The Makers Mallard is designed to be approachable, fun to print, and useful enough to throw for a full casual round. It is a great entry point if you want to try disc golf, test 3D printed discs, or explore how additive manufacturing can be used for functional sports equipment.

Important Note

This printable version is intended for casual play, testing, and maker experimentation.

It is not PDGA approved in this printed form. If you want the official PDGA approved version of the Mallard, you can purchase one directly from Grassland Discs (www.grasslanddiscs.ca) or through one of our supporting vendors.

Recommended Use

Great for:

  • Casual disc golf rounds
  • Backyard putting and approach practice
  • 3D printing experimentation
  • Makers who want to explore functional prints
  • Disc golfers curious about printed discs

Print Notes

For best results, use the provided print profile and follow the recommended material/settings. Disc performance, durability, and weight may vary depending on printer, filament, slicer settings, and print quality.

Please inspect the disc before throwing and use common sense. 3D printed discs can fail differently than injection molded discs, especially if printed with poor layer adhesion or unsuitable materials.

Printed well, boosted the infill to 80% i think to get it into the 170s weight. Yet to throw but this is the nicest disc I've found on here. I only had one color of TPU so I couldn't get the dope design on the front.

Great model! Was able to print using transparent TPU. Going to print it again with more walls and higher infill to get the weight where I want it.

Love to see it! It's funny how I feel like we've tested everything in our design and development process, but there's still lots of cool different ways to build the discs. Hope you can get out and test it soon!

Awesome!! 14 hours later we have a mid-range!!! Unfortunately the lettering and logo almost ruined the print. I used a 0.6mm nozzle for the better layer adhesion in hopes it has some durability as well as a much reduced print time. I used Geeetech TPU-95A Transparent Blue. Flies true to the numbers

So glad a manufacturer is making their 3D mold public! Could we get more specific print settings for slicers that don't support .3mf print profiles/supports?

Hey there, sure, I can provide a bit more info Material: TPU 95A or equivalent Nozzle: 0.4 mm Layer height: 0.20 mm Walls/perimeters: 5 min Top/bottom layers: 5 min Infill: ~90%, pattern Gyroid or Rectilinear, or sim Supports: not required Orientation: top plate on build plate ;) Nozzle temp: Depends on your filament - but standard build temps work good here Bed temp: Again, depends on filament Speed: Again, depends on filament Cooling: Again, depends on filament TPU and other flexible require quite a bit of calibration, and we often need to calibrate our machines around seasonal changes. Try it out and see what works for you. As always, dry filament is your friend ;) Lastly, if you want to make multi materials in between layers, you may need to add a pause at filament change in your slicer. For Bambu Studio, you simply just need to add the M400 U1 G-code into the slicer. Hopefully that gets you started!

Replying to @GrasslandDiscs :
You can, of course, use other materials. I find TPU varies a lot between manufacturers, but you could also try other materials. Our first prototypes were made of PLA and PETG, which all broke sometime during their rounds ;).

hello, I'm relatively new to printing so i apologize if this is a dumb question, but where in the filament change do we put the gcode that will help us with color change? I am good up to that step but there are so many letters and numbers I don't want to mess anything up. currently printing and i managed to catch the first layer but unfortunately the rest of the disc will be the same color. such a cool print!
