Swim Paddle
So, you want to make a swimming paddle? Well if you want a really easy one, then just follow these steps!
- Find a 3D Printer
- Get some resources that can be printed (plastic/PLA)
- Get a software that can make a 3D model
Step 2
Pull up a software, in my case I used Tinkercad.
- Make a rectangle that's about 4 by 6in.
- Cut some holes into this rectangle however you like, it will depend on how you want your own paddle to turn out.
- To make holes grab a shape you want your holes to be, select the hole version of a solid, and then put them where you want. Then, Ctrl+A, Ctrl+G to group it and make holes in the shape.
- If you want to round it or something, then just cut off the edges (using the hole thing ^^^) and replace them with a circle placed in a way that makes it a rounded corner. Then do Ctrl + A and then Ctrl + G to group everything together.
-Once you've done this, save it to your computer as a .stl file, upload it to your 3D printer, and you're done!
I guess it was kinda more than 2 steps but whatever i just summarized everything into 2 steps.
