Paddle grip array for club print, sized from small to large fists. by fluidity

Last crawled date: 2 years, 12 months ago

Printed in an array of finely tuned fist size differences to suit Pixie to Troll sized fists. Tape or heat shrink to your paddle shaft with the finger spacers in line with the back surface of the wing paddle. This will help to keep your hands in the correct place, reduce fatigue and help you to keep the paddle at the correct angle all the time so you don't fall in. :)
I used 1.5 x actual nozzle diameter in my settings to force fat fast trails, 3 perimeters with 0 distance(brim), 3 top and 4 bottom layers. 190C PLA at hot end, 55C heated glass. 30mm extrude/sec, 0.25mm layer height. No Fill !
Small wisps of filament help to keep the array of grips from falling over during the build.
After build, separate, clean up the ends and fix to your paddle shaft. Using a heat gun on low and gripping around as it cools will help to tidy it and customise it to your hand shape.
