MISSION OBJECTIVE

Use the Jig for Repeatable Tee Engraving

Use the 3D-printed golf tee engraving jig to hold tees consistently, reduce setup time, and create repeatable add-on products for gift sets, tournaments, events, and custom orders.

PRE-FLIGHT CHECK

Load the Jig Carefully

Jig Safety

  • Keep the beam on the tee, not the jig.
  • Confirm the jig is stable and does not rock.
  • Never process the jig material intentionally unless you know it is laser-safe.

Artwork Ideas

  • Initials
  • Short names
  • Tournament year
  • Course initials
  • Funny micro phrases

Production Goal

  • Engrave one clean tee first.
  • Confirm rotation and placement.
  • Batch the remaining tees only after the test works.
Keep it tiny: Golf tees are small. Use short text, bold marks, and simple alignment. This is not the place for a full family crest, unless your laser moonlights as a microscope.

BASELINE PROTOCOL

Engrave the Tees

Inspect the jig

Confirm the tees seat consistently and the engraving zone is visible. Remove debris that could change height or rotation.

Load one tee

Start with a single tee rather than a full batch. Confirm where the design lands before committing all ten.

Align the artwork

Use a small rectangle, centerline, or framing mark in your file to confirm the tee is positioned under the design.

Test at low risk

Run the smallest readable mark first. Check burn depth, contrast, smoke staining, and whether the tee moves.

Adjust and repeat

Make one adjustment at a time. Record what changed so you can repeat the successful result later.

Batch engrave

Once the first tee works, load the remaining tees consistently and run the batch without changing jig placement.

Package the set

Group tees in sets for golf gift bundles, tournament favors, bachelor parties, or add-on purchases.

TESTED STARTING SETTINGS

Settings Log

Add tested settings after July shop testing. Separate rows by tee color, laser type, and whether the goal is a light mark or a deeper engraved mark.

QUALITY CHECK

Repeatability Standards

TROUBLESHOOTING

Common Failures

Artwork misses the tee

Recheck the jig origin, tee seating, and framing. Add a visible centerline or reference shape to your setup file.

Text is too small

Shorten the message. Increase font weight. Use initials or a date instead of a sentence.

Tee rotates in the jig

Check whether the tee is seated consistently. Add a light hold-down or adjust the jig workflow if needed.

Results vary across the batch

Check tee height, focus, smoke buildup, and whether all tees are the same material and finish.
