This project is a tool for designing custom disc golf discs to 3D print or prototype. It comes in two parts: a parametric 3D model file for OpenSCAD (free software for creating printable 3D designs), and a standalone web page designer that works without any installation or server by simply opening it in a browser. The web designer shows a live cross-section preview of the disc as you drag sliders, estimates the disc's weight, and checks whether the design meets PDGA equipment approval standards. Any design can be shared as a URL that encodes all the parameters, so you can bookmark a design or send it to a friend who can open it exactly as you left it. When you are happy with the result, you can copy the values directly into the OpenSCAD file to generate a printable 3D model. The project includes official measurement data for 28 famous disc molds taken from PDGA certification records, covering putters like the Gateway Wizard and Discraft Luna, midranges like the Discraft Buzzz and Innova Roc3, and distance drivers like the Innova Destroyer and Discraft Nuke. You start from a preset and then adjust shape sliders that capture details the official measurements cannot fully describe, such as how domed the top is, where the widest point sits, how sharp the nose is, and whether the rim has a bead. The four official PDGA measurements for any approved disc, its diameter, height, rim depth, and rim width, can be found on the PDGA equipment certification website and entered directly. The tool estimates flight characteristics (speed, glide, turn, fade) from the geometry using models fitted against the 28 included presets. The project is publicly available and free to use. No license is explicitly stated in the README.
