Ever wanted to bring your love for tennis into ping pong? No? Well then too bad. This is a joke paddle made for stringing. Your ping pong skills may drastically decrease with this paddle.
I highly recommend if you are using a tennis stringer as a joke, put no tension on it as the frame tends to deform/warp. Use strings that are approximately 1.15mm in diameter. An alternate way of stringing could be using floss or a material of that sort.
I printed this in both PLA and ABS. My PLA print deformed a lot after stringing and I didn't bother with my ABS print because for some reason it felt weaker compared to the PLA one. Maybe I just suck with ABS. In theory, ABS should work the best for this.
