Table tennis racket/Ping pong paddle

Build your personal weatherproof table tennis racket for the garden or playground. It consists of a core layer  (e.g., PLA) for stability and coatings (soft TPU) for ball control and grip. Available in classic and hexagonal shape. The paddle can compete with entry-level commercial models and costs about €5 in materials. There is potential for individual tuning (softness or honeycomb surface / see title photo).

I used 3M double-sided adhesive film for glueing the layers together what works well and is easy to do. Superglue may work too.

Printing

  • 1 x Core - PLA, PETG or better material - 20 % infill - 2 top/botton layers

  • 2 x Sides - TPU 85A (or softer) - 20% gyroid infill - 2 top/botton layers

  • Adjust the softness with less or more infill and top layers

  • [Honeycomb-Version > print with 0 top layers and cubic infill]

Accessory

  • Super glue or double-sided adhesive film 25x25 cm (3M or other)

Assembly with adhessive film

Clean glue surfaces e.g. with your printbed cleaner

Glue adhessive foil on core part

Cut off overhanging edges with a utility knife

Glue on TPU side

Repeat steps with other side

It sticks better if you clamp it for a while.
