Portable Paddle

After messing around with bearings and magnets and spending lot of time to get those complicated stuff to fit together I was not happy with all that stuff. So I went back to a much simplier design, where no bearuings and no magnets are needed. Tension comes just from the plastic and so all you need is the 3 parts printed out, 2 pins (nails in my case), some wire, the female part of a 7mm bullet plug (I used this, because I have plenty of them in my spare parts box from unsoldering it from LiPos). If you want to be able to adjust the gap, you need 2 pcs. of M2 bolts. I used one from left overs I have tons from helicopter built.

In the pictures you see all you should know for putting it together. If you want it a little bit cleaner, you can use epoxy instead of hot glue. I prefer hot glue, but it's a bit of a mess with the strings you get. After all is put together, you do not see it though.

For connecting it to the keyer or your rig, you can use an audio cable with a 3,5mm plug, i
