Building an electric guitar from a 3D-printer: prototypes 4

This part deals with all changes and improvements I have established in the prototypes 4. The main change refers to the material I used for 3D-printing. For this prototypes I mainly used a mixture of PLA and wood powder as 3D-printing material. It looks and smells a little bit like wood and you can treat… Continue reading Building an electric guitar from a 3D-printer: prototypes 4

Building an electric guitar from a 3D-printer: prototype 2 & 3

In this part I will summarize the main improvements I have introduced in prototype 2 & 3. New head plate design: Head plate and neck are connected horizontally not vertically: I increased the wall thickness and fill grade of all neck parts and the head plate. Connection from neck to body more massiv and rounded… Continue reading Building an electric guitar from a 3D-printer: prototype 2 & 3

Building an electric guitar from a 3D-printer: First prototype

The concept was to build all parts of an E-Guitar from PLA besides the tuning pegs, the bridge, the truss rod and of course the pickups and the rest of the electronics. For the 3D design I used Sketchup 2016. Because of the small printing area of my 3D-printer Renkforce RF 1000 I had to… Continue reading Building an electric guitar from a 3D-printer: First prototype
