DIY Tennis Racket with a 3D Pen

DIY Tennis Racket with a 3D Pen

Looking for a creative way to get kids off screens and into something hands-on? With the French Open heating up, we thought—why not turn that tennis fever into a fun little project?

Using our Uni3D printing pen, we made a mini tennis racket from scratch. It’s easy, fun, and a great way to introduce kids to 3D design!

What You’ll Need:

  • A Uni3D Pen from UnicornGlasgow.com
  • PLA Filament (we used green and yellow!)
  • A pencil and paper for sketching
  • A bit of patience and creativity

How We Did It:

  1. Sketch the shape of a small tennis racket on paper.
  2. Trace the outline with your 3D pen—frame first!
  3. Add the strings across the center using crisscross lines.
  4. Draw the handle, and wrap it with a different color for a cool grip.
  5. (Optional) Make a matching mini tennis ball for extra flair!

Whether your kid is a tennis fan or just loves fun little challenges, this is the perfect weekend craft. And hey, you might even inspire the next Serena or Federer 😉
