Today I Printed: A Shock Absorber

Thu 21 January 2021

Now that I can print with TPU, I thought I’d test it out by making a shock absorber for my tennis racket. In an eye-catching green, it almost matches the tennis surface we play on!

Here it is!

It works pretty well, reducing some of the small vibrations when I hit the ball. Whether I’m good enough for that to make a difference to my game… Not so sure.

Here it is on Thingiverse, and here’s the OpenSCAD file.
