Today, I created a custom 3D-printed display case in the shape of my Born Blade Putter. It took 15 hours of print time, inclusive of five different files and 12 unique parts. In the prototype, I used silver silk filament for the majority of the putter body and green silk filament for several accent pieces. Additionally, I used white basic PLA for items like text that were inlaid in some of the cavities. Now, why did I create this display, especially considering it requires 15 hours of print time? Simply put, it’s freaking cool—talk about the ultimate conversation piece for your man cave, office desk, or wherever you display your luxury golf swag.

The other fascinating aspect of this display design is its size, which matches the actual putter. I liken it to being on Route 66 back in the day and encountering iconic sights like the gigantic Paul Bunyan—it’s something that would make you stop at a specific store during your travels. In terms of dimensions, the length is approximately 18 inches, the width is about 5 inches, and the height is around 14 inches. It’s constructed primarily in four pieces. The head of the putter consists of two main pieces, due to the Bambu X1 Carbon 3D printer's maximum print size of about 10 inches. Consequently, I sliced the head of the putter into two parts and printed them in separate operations. The neck also required two separate printings.
