Are you worried that at some point you will hear from the originator's attorney?

Print came out great, 100% infill, filled the weight area with wheel weights, come out to around 2.3lbs.

 

Thanks again.

[ziggy34690]

Awesome!!!!

Without my own 3d Printer, are there places you can "rent" one or give them this file to print for a fee?

I've always just drilled holes in scrap pieces of 2x4 for garage practice.

 

When at the range I just put them in the dirt.

Did you go for specific angles or just looked good. I was going to replicate this in wood but have trouble with being consistent with the angles nice I don’t have a drill press or angle jig. I can get close eyeballing with speed square but my OCD wants it perfect.

 

 

[ziggy34690]

I had a brick that a friend loaned me at the golf course and I measured the angles from that. I then applied those angles to the 3d file

[ziggy34690]

I'm not sure what the other person who posted his on creation did.

i did the research about how the club comes into impact and at what angle, and came up with those angles as a middle ground. obviously you can do whatever you want, but these are standard angles

Thanks. I was more asking for the person who used an old 2x4, was he just eyeballing the angles or did he have a way to drill the angles perfectly.

being a woodworker as well, if i was going to try to drill this, you almost need some kind of way to adjust a pocket jig to each angle whether with shims or some kind of blocking. when I need to drill 37 degree holes in expensive wood for wood spindles, I used a drill press that I made a jig on at that angle.  otherwise you need to spend some coin on a jig. https://www.amazon.com/Portable-Drillling-Precision-Attachment-Adjustable/dp/B0DK4W47WT?crid=2H0W16EB9MT6E&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.OX_9FFisZgD8csdFBfTYfGmiU6Kses7zNGM1BzDshKlcqttoLMkSWYmOy-iJ17STg97BWsXG5jZsf1BI5PXjQ_1cbhtNvUkTqgI-ul6n_qGMlhb22q4Q9hvNGhFeMeXUZNFjKfNM_mkLDBgjWY6liTq48mCxL5hcS1dleR5KO5pKpQFhw4hq17cLPCTGlVWEvQ8LHxjVK07QaC6F_DEU53wHnt4kMW0n1mI7WIdQnEpjxNlCmOq2ys5HujEI9joTbSH27IKiIQNcTCduaaux_4lfKzS0elGMhi5V1o5sTzHVw3FRFB9_rVPs9bT2LeBhmGlxdBbgHA9S7_FMynIfAI74I1i_hkrGHEFmTPHcG1tF3HipfP8upLW9O8TlW__8MfnBkrIuXUrltlqocJwrfYcUutqg8nBMy4f15oU_u6_TSagL_CS9PqxD0QTsJNQu.3U1PE4L_7N_84OrPkKjdkivgT_qSpzg9xxH6zdrB1c0&dib_tag=se&keywords=drill+angle+guide+60+degrees&qid=1738157744&sprefix=drill+angle+guide+60+degrees%2Caps%2C142&sr=8-43

Thanks, that's what I figured. Except for pocket screws, which I have a jig for, I've never had to drill precise angled holes in any of my projects (I'm more of a carpenter than a woodworker). I also though about cutting the angles into the ends of some boards and using them as a way to rest the drill bit at the correct angles, but that seems like more effort than I'm willing to put into this right now.

 and that's why I have 3d printers, so much easier 🙂

Just printed one last night as well & came out great overall.  Thanks so much for creating & posting the model!  Used some PETG-CF I had laying around, 15% infill with really the only change from my default settings was triangles as the sparse infill pattern but that’s something I’ve just been using in general for most prints.  Had some stringing on the inside tops of the weight pockets which really isn’t a functional problem and I suspect is either from this filament or my print settings/configs.  Not entirely sure as I’ve just gotten started down this 3D printing black hole 🤣  I’ll likely print this in another color with a pause added in the slicer for when it gets to the text to switch colors to get contrast for the text.

 

I’ll update with feedback if I come up with improvement ideas or remixes.  Having a way to stabilize beyond simply making it heavier is the first thing that comes to mind and I think someone might have made a comment suggesting that already.  Are you planning to post to one of the 3D printing sites like printables, thingiverse, etc?

Thanks for the Update!! Yes, This is on Printables!!! Any ideas you have on how to improve just let me know and I can modify it accordingly.

You can also use tent stakes to pin down the alignment sticks to the ground for outdoor use. Those are the 2 holes located located on the left and right side.

Nice, good to know!

[yeee707]

Printed the Zwing Trainer, easy print, right now I'm just weighing it down with a 2.5lb adder weight from my powerblock dumbbells, which seems to be enough

[newportbeach]

Wow such a great thread. Thanks for sharing. I've always wanted to try one of these. Don't have a 3D printer as of now. Seems like a fun device to get. 

[ziggy34690]

Sweet, Let me know if you run into any issues. I'm always looking for feedback for improvements.

[OBHack]

You all are awesome.  I just printed the zwing trainer.  Printed flawlessly on the Bambu X1C.  The only problem I am having is that my alignment sticks are slightly too large in diameter to fit in the holes.  I think i can easily fix this by sanding the tips down a bit, but wondering if anyone else has had this issue?  Also, does anyone have a link to drills specific to using the block? Thanks!

[ziggy34690]

Unfortunately, not all sticks have the same diameter. The holes are 8mm pre print. I can try to increase the hole diameter a bit if it becomes a big issues. Thanks for letting me know!!

[ziggy34690]

Just added some printable 150mm alignment sticks with connector. It has a 5mm ID hole to use some elastic rope for a better connection. I also added DR, 6i and SW labels by the angles.

Do the standard driveway markers fit in this model?

[ziggy34690]

the ones I have fit, but I have received messages saying people had to sand down there pole a bit. 

[EddieWouldGo]

Having a family member print one up. Thanks 

[JFunk]

For anyone without a 3D printer that’s curious, I got two quotes for ziggy’s specs from local printers and both were more than $150.

[ziggy34690]

Holy Crab, that's ridiculous. Where are you located?
