Tennis Racquet Key FOB

thingiverse

Tennis enthusiasts will love this... print one for yourself or as a small fun gift. The racket has been scaled directly from a current top-level tennis racket. Even if you're not a tennis fan, this quick print is fun to try... see how well your machine prints the fine strings. This is a very quick and easy print; however, the strings are a good test of your machine's bridging capability. Not all machines/slicing apps will deliver a nice, well-strung racket. A good print in two colors (pause at 35% and 85% with a 1mm raft) looks really great and is a small but impressive print. Four .stl files have been provided. Two have a fitting on the end for a key ring (FOB Type), and two don't (Racquet type). Within each type, there is "Recessed" (R), which has strings that represent a real tennis racket, and the "Flat" (F) type, which has strings the full height of the print... this is for people with machines/slicing apps that don't bridge as cleanly as other machines/apps. To make your recessed print multi-colored, pause your machine at 35% and 85% to switch in/out colors. It's easy to do, and the result is great. Please refer to the images and print instructions for additional information. Note: If you like this, check out the rest of my fun and practical designs.
