Description

PDF

This is a very useful, reliably understable small golf disc. It is about 70mm in diameter and weighs about 11 grams in PLA.  It's small and heavy so it cuts through the air even outdoors.  It's too small to be a great driver but works well for upshots.  It's great for container targets (pots, buckets) because its small size makes it easier to land inside.

This disc is also found in the Disc Library here:  https://smalldiscgolf.org/disc-library/#xxx where you can also download this .step file and the .step files for other small golf discs for indoor and outdoor use.  This particular disc, the XXX, is useful indoors and outdoors.

Here is a page with full details about how to print this disc: http://smalldiscgolf.org/printing-discs/

This disc model includes a print base which is like a raft except that it overlaps the disc itself.  You break or cut the print base off after the print is done and you can sand away any remnants of it.  The print base is required so that the disc can be printed on its edge.

Notes about Printing Discs

The different print bases are thicker or thinner and provide more or less stability while printing.  The disc must not wobble while it prints or it will not finish or yield a useful disc. Unlike a raft, the print bases overlap the first layers of the disc.  The thinnest print base (0.4mm) can usually just be bent back and forth to break it off the disc.  But the medium (0.5) and thickest (0.66) print bases have to be cut away with clippers (wear eye protection!)  More about printing discs here: http://smalldiscgolf.org/printing-discs/
