A strange gift, but probably useful for the dad who loves golf. Use this 3D printed clip to hold two golf balls.
Quadcopter
3D Systems has a few options for you to 3D print, build, and pilot your own quadcopter — a DIY drone, if you will. Sounds like a pretty nifty gift.

Picture frames
Picture frames
Combine old tech and new by 3D printing a picture frame and then printing a real photograph for your father. This one is available through Shapeways.

Keychain
Show Dad how much you appreciate him by 3D printing this #1 Dad keychain. Free download on Thingiverse.
Nooka watch band
If he’s not a smartwatch guy yet, this could be a good option. 3D Systems has a limited edition collection of these interchangeable 3D printed watch bands for the Zub40 line of Nooka.
Photography equipment
Is your father a photographer? That equipment is expensive, so 3D print lens caps, lens hoods, and other accessories instead. Here are some designs you can download from 3D Systems, but there are plenty of other options out there on the web.
