🏌️‍♂️The BEST 3D Print Files for Your Sim
You’ve designed the layout, built the enclosure, and mounted the launch monitor. The DIY rush was real—and now that you’re swinging every weekend, you might be missing the thrill of the build.
Sound familiar? We’ve got you. Below, you’ll find a list of awesome 3D printing projects—complete with downloadable files—that can upgrade your sim setup from par to birdie.
Let’s fire up the printer.
Accessories
The extras make all the difference. From game-enhancing tools to gear that’ll impress your buddies, these printable accessories are simple, smart upgrades.

Ball Deployer
We saw this one posted to our Reddit forum, and it lives in our head rent free. A ball deployer is futuristic, fun, and pure sim-room flex. Automate your ball drops and wow your friends in the process.
Control Box
Tired of tabbing over to your PC to switch clubs or adjust tee position? Print this control box shell and pair it with wiring help from BA Custom to take total control—right from your hitting bay.
Golf Tee
Get the readings you deserve. These cone-shaped tees are dialed for simulator use and designed to optimize your launch angles.
Launch Monitor Stand
Proper height and level positioning can make or break your data accuracy. These printable stands are made to keep your launch monitor dialed in.

Bushnell Launch Pro
Ever eyeballed your BLP placement and hoped for the best? Yeah… stop that. This stand gets your Bushnell Launch Pro to the ideal height and keeps it square with your hitting net—so your numbers stay reliable and your setup looks clean.
Garmin Approach R10 Stand
Garmin gang, this one’s for you. This custom R10 base comes with three thumb screws so you can dial in the perfect level—because even a few degrees off can throw your data into the rough.
Square Launch Monitor Base
Not just a base—a full-blown utility upgrade. With 3-point leveling feet and a 1.5” lift, this one gives your launch monitor the elevation it needs. Bonus feature: a built-in slot to stash your remote when you're not nuking drives.
Launch Monitor Covers
Your launch monitor isn’t just a gadget—it’s the MVP of your sim setup. So why leave it exposed to the occasional shank, slice, or flying tee? These 3D-printed covers act like body armor for your tech.
Bushnell Launch Pro Cover
A mis-hit off the toe shouldn’t spell disaster for your $3,000 setup. This sleek front-face cover adds a layer of protection without getting in the way of performance. Simple. Smart. Shank-proof.

Uneekor Eye Mini Lite
Loving called “the shank tank” this print file will protect you Uneekor Eye Mini Lite from your hooks and slices. Print it, protect it, and play fearlessly.
Once your sim is up and running, it’s easy to stop building—but these small, smart upgrades can make a big difference in how your space performs and feels. Whether you're tightening up accuracy or adding a few quality-of-life tools, 3D printing gives you a simple way to keep improving without breaking the bank.
If you end up printing something from this list, tag us or drop a photo in the community—we’d love to see what you’re building. 🛠️🔥
🤯 Now You See It, Now You Don’t: 3 Ways to Hide Your Sim Setup
We’d all love a dedicated sim room, but let’s be real—most of us are working with garages, basements, or shared spaces. Good news: you don’t need a full remodel to go full send.
We found 3 creative ways to play when you want and hide it when you don’t. ⬇️

Add Curtains (New from Carl’s!)
Carl’s just launched their brand-new golf room curtains—a long-requested addition to their lineup. Whether you need to cover a window, protect your garage walls, or hide your sim from sight, these come in solid and netted options. Easy to install, easy to love.
DIY Pulley System
Redditors never disappoint. One user rigged up a wireless hoist (440lb capacity!) from Amazon to retract their entire setup. If you’ve got tools and time, this might be your budget-friendly solution.

Go Big with a Retractable Enclosure
The Vanish Series Retractable Golf Enclosure from The SportScreen is one sleek setup. One voice command and your sim rolls down like magic. Alexa- and Google-compatible, it’s the ultimate flex for anyone serious about sim life and preserving living space.
That’s it for today, golfers. If you score one of the sim steals (or print something absurdly cool), send us a pic—we’re nosy and we want to see it. Until next time!
