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.
