Quest3 TT Penhold Adapter (Wood ver.)

Update on 2026/5/24: Add a size indicator to the cut-out template to make it easier to match the in-game preset.

What is this:
This adapter is designed to convert a regular table tennis bat into a VR penhold adapter. I have also created a fully printable adapter based on @Wasyl's work. Take a look if you only have access to a 3D printer.

Why we made it:
Due to the Quest 3 controller's limited tracking mechanism, there are only a few penhold adapters available for it. This is another attempt to create an easy-to-print, free adapter that aims to improve weight distribution and LED tracking for TPB and RPB styles.

Who is involved:
The original model was created by @Wasyl00. The idea for the penhold position came from @Bonsaizocker. I (Kaiha) finished making the controller holder. It has been tested with the help of @Bonsaizocker @vladejs  and other members of the ETT community.

What is required:
(Some text is taken from the @wasyl's page. The Pic is from @Bonsaizocker)

1. Table Tennis paddle, ideally some you will no longer use as you will have to cut it to shape. 

2. Printed adapter

3. 1 x DIN653 Thumb Screw M3 (length 12-14mm) Link Aliexpress

4. 2 x M3 countersunk head screws (length 12-14mm) Link Aliexpress 

5. 3 x M3 nuts Link Aliexpress 

6. Optional printed cutting template (included in files) 

7. Tools like saw and drill with 3mm drill bit. You can use wood glue to aditionally strengthen the connection. 

8. You can reuse old rubber or cut and apply new one 

9. Double-sided tape to apply rubber.

10. Sandpaper to round off the edges.

How to print:

1. Place the models in the same orientation as shown in the attached picture.

2. Print it without brim or support.

How to assemble:
Please watch the video provided by @Bonsaizocker. This adapter is made using a process similar to that used for the BonWasy adapter.

How to use:
If you are using the well-known BonWasy adapter, I assume that you already know how to use it. But if you are not, please watch this video. (will upload later)
 

ETT In-game setting:

There is no exact preset, as you can cut the blade to any size. However, you can tune it based on the following position (calibrated by @Bonsaizocker).

PADDLE->ADAPTERS->BonWasyBusaL→EQUIP

Feedback is welcome! We hope this contributes to the community and evolves through collaboration.
