3D Printed Mallet Head

  • Material tested with: PETG
  • Took 3 hits to ground to shatter, directly on heart ends
  • Head was too heavy, so drilled it out, but still pretty heavy
  • Try 3d printed rubber? or a mix of stuff?
    • Rubber + aluminum?
    • Aluminum in general? (might be too easily plastically deformed)
