What about 3D printed tees?

Yes TPU is pretty good. The durability is largely determined by the amount of infill. The current design on Thingiverse does have some added strength and I’ve played with the same one for a couple dozen rounds.

Solid! I'm resizing one now and giving it a go, will let you how it turns out

I printed these and they look really good. I will test them tonight to see how they hold up

Solid design Do the TPU ones last for more than a few rounds?

Thanks, added to my list of tees to test.

I built a more traditional style of tee which I've been using for a couple years. If you're wondering, the hex base helps with tees rolling away. I usually print these out of TPE because it's both flexible and indestructible, but I've also used generic TPU and NinjaFlex, which are both far easier to print. The one shown below is actually printed with flexible resin on my SLA printer and was a test a to see how they stand up (Spoiler - they only last a few rounds before disintegrating. I don't usually print them solid but you do want a high level of infill to add both strength and weight. The "30" designation is the height in millimetres, which I've decided is the best height for me

I have also printed a few of these with a hole in the bottom that can accept the shaft of a regular wooden tee (and some superglue) so I can use them on a real course as well. This ensures that my desired tee height is preserved in the real world as well.

Tried to copy tomahawk design. Uploaded animated GIF doesn't always work so Youtube:

Well, that one should be basically indestructible. I just printed one at 50% infill and I don’t think this would fail for years . It also sits flat on a fiberbuilt nice and flat every time you put it down. It might slide 1/4 inch in some direction and settle, but it doesn’t tilt.

Here is a pic at 50% infill. When I can start swinging again, I expect this to last quite some time.

I have some of them but i like the birtees better as i can never find the tomahawks

These are the tees I'm trying to copy:

They work well with SkyTrak. They weigh almost nothing. I've never broken one but somehow I lose them.

I personally think the one made without the long windows would have held up if the same model was just made a solid. It always broke between those spaces

I like it. With the basic cone design you could print a two piece mold design. Put a dollop of silicone in the bottom and press the top cone mold piece till the silicone oozes out the top.

I have a lot to learn about 3D printing. I assumed, unless you specify otherwise, the inside of mesh volumes would be solid. With MatterControl, setting infill to 100% the inside is not solid. Looking into hobby injection molding and voxel printing.
