This is a fully 3D printable table tennis racket design similar to Butterfly Viscaria FL.
I used two different approaches to make a racket:
1. Model consisting of mid frame and 2 hand pieces glued on both side
2. Model that creates a single piece consisting of mid frame and hand pieces all printed together (no glue)
1st approach is straightforward and easy to do. The second approach is more demanding. It requires printing first the mid frame and then changing the filament during the print to make the first half of the handle. Then remove the part and print special alignment fixture on your table. Insert your mid frame part to the jig upside down and print the other half of the handle. See the images to get the idea of how I made it. The yellow racket is the result of first approach and the gray racket is of 2nd approach.
In both approaches the rubber parts are printed separately from Ninja Flex material on bare glass surface for best surface finish. I used standard racket gl
