A movable mini-golf course you clamp to any table, hit a real ball through, and rearrange into new scenes.
The premise was to bring the meditative pull of putting into a small modular product, with the worldbuilding instinct of model train sets folded in. You’re not just hitting a ball, you’re setting a scene.

Clay and foam to find the form factor before committing to CAD. The base needed to feel like a small monument; the club had to read as both toy and tool.
Rhino for the larger objects and rendering, SolidWorks for precision components where fits mattered — the dovetail, the magnet pocket, the steel-insert receivers. FDM on most parts, SLA on small details, painted to match the concept renders.
Two parts turned from aluminium stock: the putter head and an oversized tee that doubles as a ball holder. Two steel insert plates anchor the start island and the movable island.
The hard part wasn't the form, it was finding where the fun lived. Early prototypes worked mechanically and had no pull at all. The breakthrough was committing to scenes rather than obstacles — a skatepark you can putt through reads completely differently to a course with bumps. Next is testing course-building, and whether opening the magnetic mount as a standard invites third-party greens.
