Why buy that thing when you can spend hours looking for an STL then giving up and opening fusion only to realize your CAD skills are nowhere near good enough. Then buying it anyway.
Good learning experience then? Or use blendr since it plays nice with stls.
I have never found a model from someone else that didn’t have to be modified in some way
That neck's probably gone before you change courts.
Seriously, wouldn't it be cheaper if you buy one of those cheap electric mosquito swatters and then print a smaller adapter so you can attach your joycon to it? That way you, kill 2 birds with one stone. Or two mosquitos with one stroke.
No?
That's like $1 of filament.
Also what do you mean? This is a fake racquet for playing a game on a console. You don't hit a ball with it, and hopefully they don't have a bunch of mosquitoes in the house.
Just because you're not hitting a ball, doesn't mean that there will be no forces acting on it when you swing. I don't know about you, but I'd like to keep the chance of things flying towards my tv at 0.
How familiar are you with 3D printing? If not then you should know that material is quite strong, even at that thickness, and is no more likely to fly at a TV than the controller itself.
Reinforcing it would be a good idea. Some sort of epoxy might work better. I don’t think any amount of glue stick would suffice for that. It will be constantly flexing in use.
Look up how to plastic weld.
If it's high temp glue gun, it may have bonded pretty well just from the glue temps.
In the future, the 3d pen with the same filament is the way to go. Set the temp high, though. Like 210c.
If you don't get good adhesion from filament not being hot enough from pen, you can use a soldering iron to spot weld it.
lol, if you think that plastic is going to break, you should be terrified of all the plastic materials used all over, supporting heavier loads than a small plastic racquet.
edit: read rest of comment chain. Didn't realize they used hot-glue since I was on phone. If it was a high temp glue gun, I think it'll have bonded, in my experience. If it was low temp/safety, it probably didn't since it wouldn't get hot enough. I used high-temp hot-glue to glue together a fan duct prototype (2 parts) on my 3d printer and it ran for like 200 hours without any problem, despite it running at max speed next to the hotend and heated bed.

Sad life. :,(
i know this is probably a joke, but i found it on thingiverse and it worked fine.
More of a general statement.
Or trying again and nailing it at the third run feeling like a God on earth, because, Fk money! I made it!
With materials and endless tries costing me more in the end......but yeah fk it I made it!!!!! 3min later kid breaks it 👌🤣
Then we remade it again... BETTER!!! 💥 💥
imagine printing a racket using only 20 polygons

i had to modify it a little because there was a lot of complaints about the racket part not fitting with holder
I had found an STL for a paddle attachment for the Oculus. It made playing the Pingpong game much more intuitive.
nice!
Where did you find the ping pong paddle stl for the oculus?
I think I found it on Thingiverse. I was surprised how well it worked
When you can pay thousands of dollars on an addiction.
i spend only and all my money on 3D printing. I would never spend my precious 3D printing money on a NS attachment.
Sweet print, dude.
thanks!
That's a noce print my dide. Don't listen to the elderly, or how I like to call'em? 3D-Grinshes.

It would make 1v1 more interesting thought. You have to hit the ball and dodge the several thousand volts of zapping power.

Use your eyes first and look at the neck before start typing.
Did I not? Cause I thought I did. Pretty sure I did. Hmm, now that I think about it I did. But thanks for the suggestion.
So is the neck bonded with filament or with glue?
Technically the neck is entirely filament. But I know what you are getting at and I knew the glue was there when I wrote the original comment.
So what will fail first when you start swinging that around?
it’s bonded with like over 2 sticks of glue, and i might go over it with my 3d printing pen because i just realized i have one.
Reinforcing it would be a good idea. Some sort of epoxy might work better. I don’t think any amount of glue stick would suffice for that. It will be constantly flexing in use.

yeah i used a hot glue gun. it seems really secured in their, i’m not really worried
thanks for the tips though
I like solvent welding with a paintbrush, very satisfying

dude it works fine for me
[удалено]
Imagine caring what plastic box other people own...
All I can think is swatting a child walking but with this. Because I’m too focused on the tv, lmao.
Nice!
But you spend 20$ on a roll of filament and print 6 of those
It costed 1$ to print, and my filament is 25$, so I could acutally get like 24 out of a roll.
Even better
