Description

Tougher paddles, for use with ASA filament - more flexible than PLA - and for a different feel. The original paddles are fine, and in PLA, need a little bending to work. I print in ASA mostly, which is more flexible, but has other qualities. I didn't like the original paddles much, they seemed flimsy to me. This design simply fills the gap of the hinge with more material.
AI Analysis: This is a pair of mechanical paddles designed for amateur radio communication. They are used to send Morse code signals by pressing the paddles to activate a transmitter. The design features a sturdy construction with mounting holes for secure attachment to a radio key.
