Slide in the handle, glue if you desire, then "stir" the mallet around the inside (or bang on the outside, I won't judge). I saw the challenge and decided to find and build a fun percussion instrument. Probably won't win for decibels, but hard plastic makes a unique sound when you use it in place of wood. Printing with different angles and infill levels will also change up your resulting music. Inspiration (and demo until I print mine) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b0UD3ZLEvsk Instructions 100% Sketchup with a run through Netfabb to clean up the mallet/stick. I'd strongly suggest PLA over ABS. The sound is much sharper. There may also be other great materials (bronze fill?) that will make an awesome print.
