The Ultimate VR Ping Pong Paddle - Quest 2

The paddle that does better than "feel like" a paddle.

Features:

• Controller snaps into place very quickly / smoothly
• Very snug fit / zero wobble

Notes:

• Model is right-handed, mirror in the slicer for left-handed controller
• Expect a couple of cycles to wear in. >50 cycles later it still feels like new & the controller does not show any wear marks, so the geometry seems good.

Post-Printing

Required Materials

• Donor paddle (The one pictured was $7)
M4x0.7 screw Torsion Spring (maximum body length depends on final paddle thickness, you have some wiggle room) Printer for stencil (strongly recommended) Adhesive (J.B. Weld epoxy stick works really well with the resin I'm printing in, YMMV)

Construction

• Print & cut out the stencil
Remove edging tape from paddle, carefully, and save for reapplication later. Mark off centerline of paddle Bring stencil down as far as possible where your fingers are still on the paddle, align the center of mass mark with the paddle's centerline.*(This is approximate, because battery weights vary between ~10% and ~25% of the controller's total weight)* Measure twice, cut once Carefully trim back some of the rubber so you get a neat edge where the socket is attached to the paddle Trim rubber near the pivot for the clip & drill hole Install clip & (optional) spring Insert controller snugly into socket, attach firmly into clip, and**THEN** glue the socket to the paddle (this will ensure a perfect fit) Finish, reapply edge tape, etc.

Mark centerline on paddle, trim and align template, mark cuts & center of pivot hole



Masking tape reduces damage to the rubber on the paddle, and allows tools to glide along as necessary. Cut to shape, file/sand to a clean finish.



Torsion spring is here and adds a bit of security, but the clip has proven very secure on my example.
