Thanks for rating and the nice picture.
Happy hunting ;-) (edited)
Printed it in neon yellow TPU. Killed my first fly within 10 seconds of installing the handle. 5 stars!
@DannyHaar_854539 thanks for rating.
The colour is fantastic :-)
Happy hunting.
@Jesse thanks for rating. Nice pictures.
Lovely design. Having high hopes in my hunting skills, I went for 90% scale ;-) (edited)
Needed a fly swatter, chose to print this one and didn't regret it. Just one thing that could be done better: The shaft hole should be designed in a drop shape rather than circular. Otherwise, due to TPU's poor overhang performance, the hole's shape gets flattened in print. Since a power drill is no help with TPU, I helped myself by using a steel rod that I heated up before plugging it in.
Btw, I used "hard" 58D TPU. Could even be somewhat harder for the purpose, but works fine. (edited)
@sbuerger Hey, thanks for the make! great photo.
I used TPU A95, and the hole was not a problem. But I will follow your suggesttion, and rethink the design.
@Predy Yes, with A95 it may be easier to push the rod in, but the swatter would be too "wobbly" for my taste in that case. However, as long as you use a metal rod that you can heat up, the "melt-in" method has proven to work greatly - a better connection of rod and swatter is hardly imaginable since the TPU glues itself to the rod just fine. Considering this, I change my rating to five stars. :) (edited)
