Ping Pong Paddle with Strings

Ever wanted to bring your love for tennis into ping pong? No? Well then too bad. This is a joke paddle made for stringing. Your ping pong skills may drastically decrease with this paddle. 

I highly recommend if you are using a tennis stringer as a joke, put no tension on it as the frame tends to deform/warp. Use strings that are approximately 1.15mm in diameter. An alternate way of stringing could be using floss or a material of that sort. 

I printed this in both PLA and ABS. My PLA print deformed a lot after stringing and I didn't bother with my ABS print because for some reason it felt weaker compared to the PLA one. Maybe I just suck with ABS. In theory, ABS should work the best for this.

The paddle is separated into 4 parts so it fits in a 20x20 cm build platform. After you print the files, the next step is to glue them together. I use loctite super glue gel control. Works amazing. Arrangement of the pieces should be self explanatory.
