Padel Racket 4CMP

thingiverse

The Padel racket in question almost meets the standards set by the governing body of the sport. However, a closer examination reveals that some regulations define the racket as consisting of two distinct components. Given that this particular model is printed as a single unit, its compliance is uncertain. Due to limitations in available build space and material options, I opted for a smaller-scale test print using only two materials. In my vision, the frame should be constructed from a hard-wearing material such as Nylon or a carbon-based filament. The central section would be made from a robust plastic like PETG, while the inner foam component necessitates a bouncy TPU material with a hardness rating of approximately 85A. The handle's "caliper" design can be achieved using TPU with a slightly higher hardness level of around 95. For optimal structural integrity, I recommend a denser infill for the frame, 100% infill for the handle, and a moderate 20% infill for the middle section. The correct infill percentage for the foam core, however, will depend on the TPU's hardness rating and desired level of bounciness.
