This is v1.0 of a paddle design that can be printed on a Prusa MK3/4 print bed size (X×Y×Z, 250 × 210 × 210 mm).
Materials needed:
The only print I made so far:
Material: PLA
Nozzle/Width: 0.6mm
Walls/Bottom/Top = 4
Infill: 8%, gyroid
The paddle didn't explode when I used it. So that's good. And it was very poppy. The ball bounced off really well and it was not any louder than the inexpensive wooden paddles I have.
However, midway through the game, the sound changed and the response from the paddle was a lot more spongy. It seems the infill started to break, although the exterior looked the same. Overall, it worked. Mission success.
UPDATE: The paddle did not survive past the second game. The hitting surface developed a crack that went across the face. The paddle is still playable, but I would skip this version and take a look at version 2.0.
The author marked this model as their own original creation.
