Created a Ping Pong Paddle using @EthanKinney’s Super Gadient Generator. Haven’t cut it just yet, but will soon.

Are you going to cut the round part lower too?
Be sure to post pictures when you’re done!
FYI, i recommend you do a full depth around the handles:
otherwise you’re bit won’t actually carve all the way down the gradient. If you were to do just an 0.15" offset around your lowest layer that should be sufficient:

I was looking at your file and noticed a few things. First, the material is only 1/2in thick, isn’t this a bit thin for the handle of a paddle. Unfortunately I don’t have one to measure, my son took the ping ping table and accessories. Second, this has to be machined on both sides and I don’t see registration holes so you can flip the material while keeping proper alignment.
According to a dimensions guide for Table Tennis paddles, found here: Ping-Pong Paddle | Table Tennis Racket Dimensions & Drawings | Dimensions.com
The board is .25" thick with each side of the handle at .30" thick. When you combine two handle sides and the board sandwiched between, you get a handle depth of .85", the minimum depth allowed. I have small hands so this fits me just fine.
The middle board doesn’t have to be carved on both sides, it’s just an outline cut of .25" thick all the way around. I’ve been tweaking the design a bit based on @EthanKinney’s suggestions and will update it AFTER I cut one out to ensure it’s precise.
