Padel Racket V1

The Bullfrog Collective came together through a collaboration between 149 Designs and Sleekprint to develop a consumer-grade 3D printed paddle racket. 

Imagine this: a racket that's fully legal, with correct dimensions and most importantly, weight. This racket was designed to be made super cheap compared to store-bought ones, while still being competitive. And guess what? Ours only costed 6 euros! 

Made with PETG-CF, this racket is not only affordable but also easy to make. The objective behind this project is to make padel an accessible sport for everyone. The design was specifically made to be under 400gr and fit in the most common 3d printer size. It's printed in three parts and due to clever fittings it's strong and easy to assemble. 

Your mission is now to adapt and improve and show the world what is possible! Follow us to see us testing this racket and improving it along the way.
 

Notes for V2: Handle is too thick and lacks strap.

Ajust supports and walls according to nozzle size and material weight. We used 3 to 5 % infill and removed the grips top and bottom layers for weight reduction.
