badminton racket, shortening

thingiverse

I wanted to create a customized badminton racket that would be perfect for my almost 5-year-old daughter. So, I took off the handle from an old racket - a move that turned out to be a great idea! I wish now I had taken a photo of the original one before disassembling it. The shaft in the old handle was only about 5-7 centimeters long, which made it easy for me to print a new one with a deeper hole. This way, I wouldn't have to cut the shaft at all. In hindsight, I could have used a smaller infill to make the racket even lighter, but my daughter loved the customized handle she got to choose from - and that's what really matters!
