Drone Pong

Ping Pong using Horus drones and custom 3D-printed paddles mounted to the camera mount. Beer(s) required to make this accessory work properly. Thanks to Matt Hodder for his Pyramid Beer Pong model. This single 3D-printed design highlights how multi-material 3D printing can create a common object (ping pong paddle) that normally requires several pieces (core, handle halves, rubber surface) and assembly (cutting, bonding, sanding, varnishing) steps to complete. Alternatively, a carbon fiber 3D printer could be used to create a very unique paddle or a 3D printer with a conductive filament could be used to create embedded contact sensors to track hitting accuracy. Beer is the motivation to design, 3D print and test out a new paddle design:)
