Iambic Paddles remix

thingiverse

Really enjoyed building ReallyBigTeeth's iambic paddles, but I was having some issues getting the return spring to stay put. My solution is to add a little nub inside each recess on the paddles so that the end of the spring can't slip out. I also added some stick-on rubber feet to the finished paddle. They help keep it from sliding away on the table. The feet also protect your table in case the screw heads stick out a bit. Depending on your materials and setup, it can be difficult to get all the holes to print to size. I did a good bit of cleanup with a Dremel. The pivot hole in each paddle and the four cover mounting holes in the base should be a clearance fit for a #6 bolt. All other holes should be a tight self-tapping fit.
