Hey guys! I made this pickleball racket and I would love you all to try it!

Key Points: I recommend printing on PETG since it will be stronger. I broke the racket near the handle the first time when I printed it with 0.2mm layer height, 15% infill, and 3 walls - Although this was PLA.

Print the racket in two sections with their connected sides facing the bed, and set up automatic tree supports at 45 angles.

I re-printed this white one in PETG with 12 walls in the entire model and I have hit it AS HARD as I could and there is no way to break it. However, it is now 485g which makes it unusable.

Please, tweak the print settings and let me know if you find the best results!

Challenge:
- Can you make it sturdy and weigh between 200 and 270g?

PS: Stay posted because I already made a much thinner, lighter, and sturdier version that prints at 265g and it sounds BEAUTIFUL.

I will post the files for the new racket if we get 10 makes on this post.
