I don’t remember who it was, but I thought someone designed a custom chalk holder with the AzB logo a few years ago. Does anyone remember who that was? My better half is petitioning Santa for a 3D printer.
Didn’t someone design an AzB chalk holder a while back

If you need any CAD help let me know.
I definitely will. She wants to design and print useful items with it. 
I want to print fun things!!

Get a glowforge and a 3d printer, you can make anything
Here's links to some pool-related prints once you're up and running:

That looks great. Is that 3D print or photoshop?
I use autodesk inventor for cad with a tier time upbox+ as my printer
I have designed and printed cue holders, chalk holders, bridges, a 3 ball rack, etc. The possibilities are endless....have fun!

no, no, a fart consuming oxygen producing white maple tree was cut down somewhere, saw milled, kilned, trucked to market, sold, sold again,then conceptualized to a 1/16" thickness, fabricated into a square tube, cross cut to the regulation specified length,
plugged with an matching end grain of said conceptualized 1/16" thickness maple, carefully sanded,
finished with a catalyzed low luster water white varnish, and then,
carefully fitted with a cheap piece of Walmart brand blue chalk made from china,
preserved, never used in a real game of 4ball.
...I'm thinking I like your plan.
..oh, the logo is a print iron-on media material, so, I guess it's close to what your thinking of doing.
..on the edit? my apology's for omitting the sacrifice that was made

Here is the first try at a pool cue holder I designed and printed. I tried to print in the toxic green filament with our team logo engraved. I packed the logo with modeling clay and then used 4-5 coats of plasti-dip to protect shafts and help it stay on the table...upon further review, I should have just plasti dipped the whole thing and not worried about making it 2 colors. Doesnt look as clean as I want...
Made one for each of my team members along with a zipper pull/keychain for Xmas.
Here is my print lab
What type of printers are you using? Girlfriend is starting with an Ender 3.

Damn, that is an expensive setup there. What do the higher priced models do that the entry levels do not?
Ender 3 is a good printer and will do everything you need. Some of the more expensive printers can run multiple filaments, print faster, print more materials, etc. Check out octopi for controlling your printer remotely via a web interface:

I'm not sure, as these are the four printers my school system bought me, and the only 3d printers I have used. I can print multiple filaments, my print heads have dual fans, a hepa filter, etc. I can preheat and postheat my print platforms to a specific temp, auto leveling,, and have 4 different print quality settingsdepending on how fast I want to print. I don't know if these features are standard or not.
The pool cue holder had a solid in fill, with the highest quality setting, and each printer could print 4 at a time...it took 14 hours for it to print 4 of them...I think they were 120 or so layers.
I designed these, bridges, chalk holders, key chains,, etc. With audesk inventor professional and solidworks. I am happy to share my .stl files with anyone interested.
Jokrs, do you have a 3d printer? I have something I'd like made, and the person I asked to make it says he keeps getting errors. It's not super complex.
If this is what you are thinking of then yes I believe someone did. I will have to look to see if I still have those files.
I have a 3d printing lab in my shop with four 3d printers. I am happy to take a look at what you got
That might have been it. I am definitely interested in the files needed to print it.
Thanks
