Mallet head with stl file

[chrisash]

After watching others making Mallet heads I thought I would give it a try making a tapered head using 3D Printing

I used Nylon for the head "Taulman 3D 230" filament with width 50mm length 50 mm and hole in centre at 10mm dia

IF you chose to make it then you need to change the bottom layer in Cura to Cylinder so it lays the filament in rings around the design for strength rather than normal up and down accross the design also 100 percent fill

The beauty of this file is that in your slicing software you can change the height or width to whatever you need to make a small or large weight mallet

Cool.

It remains to be seen whether a printed mallet head is able to stand up to the impacts of heavy hammering without delaminating, but it's a neat idea. Thanks for including the .stl file, it's always nice when people do that so others can have a play with it themselves.
