3D Printed Tennis Dampener

This high school project was my first exposure to 3D printing. The bomber plane and the royal blue were both pulled from my school's current branding, but everything else, including the 3D structure and the tennis & Kenston logo was designed by me.

I began this process by creating the logo, which as stated above, is a mix of my high school's current logo and a tennis ball.

Once my logo was finalized, I created a digital dampener model that I adjusted many times during the testing process. I spent weeks iterating my 3D design and the 3D printer's settings, as flexible filament is tricky to perfect and I was new to 3D printing. I went through multiple rounds of iterations, and eventually landed on a design that was both visually appealing and more importantly, completely functional.

I made about 30 dampeners which I then passed out to my local tennis community and high school team.
