I wanted a reliable adapter for playing VR tennis so I made this one. The tracking isn't flawless but it's far more consistent than anything else I've tried.

You'll need supports for both parts. I recommend tree supports, but anything will work.
You can print the clamp in any convenient orientation.
Thread the holes as you go with M3x20 screws (or longer). They should go in pretty easily.
I added room for M3 nuts if you'd like maximum safety, but I haven't used any so far.
I used 4 walls and 50-70% infill, both to add stability and to make it feel more like a real racket. If you don't care about the latter, you'll probably be fine with 30% infill. No guarantees though!

Note that I designed the handle to print diagonally on a 256x256 print bed, so you'll need to print at a significant angle if you have less space than that. Just don't stand it on end (even if the adhesion didn't fail, you'd have the layer lines going in a very snappable-during-swings direction).

And keep in mind that a Quest 3 controller with a battery in it is a little below 130g. To tweak the point of balance, you can use modifiers to adjust the infill distribution.

Let me know if you encounter any issues!
