Designed to be both functional and aesthetically pleasing. Its streamlined handle and balanced head make it suitable for a variety of tasks, with a hollow grip that helps to counter vibrations while striking.

UPDATED: A second model has been added for precision striking, the design is essentially the same except for a smaller+rounder head.

Usage

Ideal for tasks that require a less-marking strike, such as assembling with steel fabricated parts, or anything else a standard rubber mallet would be used for. Striking anything with anything is going to leave a mark, but the light weight of 3D prints does help reduce significant marking on surfaces.

Printing Suggestions

Use a sturdy filament like PA or ASA to ensure durability, and 35-50% infill maintains the balance and strength of the head. These are meant to be printed on the flat sides, with the larger mallet having one side at a slight angle so it may be laid flat on the build surface. Print with snug support.

The weight of these varies depending on your filament and nozzle diameter, with denser filaments turning out heavier. For PETG I used a 0.8mm nozzle with 1mm line width and 50% cross-hatch infill (which is a bit stiffer than gyroid for reference), which turned out nice and weighty. ASA is much lighter, but probably lasts more than twice as long since it can resist self-deformation better. Best option for these would be PA (nylon) for both weight and durability, and use a minumum of 3 wall lines.

Edit: STL file updated for improved functionality. Not tested with PLA due to the low temp resistance.
