1/8 size Functional Violin

It is recommended to use 1/4 size strings.Two bridge .stl files with different heights are provided.An offset chinrest .stl file is also includedThis 1/8-scale violin is designed specifically for 3D printing using PLA+ filament, striking a balance between stiffness, damping properties, and cost-effectiveness. The entire design is tailored around the mechanical and acoustic characteristics of PLA+. While carbon fiber filaments may theoretically yield a brighter tone, I have not tested them myself.Due to PLA+ having a higher density and slightly lower stiffness than traditional spruce (commonly used in acoustic instruments), this design focuses on enhancing the overall sound projection, particularly in the higher frequency range.The violin body adopts a low-arch profile, inspired by Francois Denis’ Traité de Lutherie: The Violin and the Art of Measurement. The outline has been modified to preserve the primary acoustic chamber while optimizing it for 3D printing and tonal performance.Both
