Cigarette Guitar - Playable Experimental Project

Update 2/4/23: I made the instrument larger to fit on a delta printer. I have two versions available. 318mm and 350mm. I also made the sound-hole larger. These both will fit on a FlSun Super Racer (350mm version printed diagonally with extra supports). These are highly experimental and untested.


I made this instrument as an experiment. My original goal was to make a string instrument that will fit on a Prusa Mini+ build plate (180mm x 180mm x 180mm). 180mm is a bit too small if you want a decent sounding instrument, so I made the instrument 245mm long. It will technically fit on a Prusa Mini+ build plate, but you will need to print diagonally with supports. It sounds a little better than the 180mm version I made earlier, but the note range is very limited. It doesn't sound great, but maybe someone will modify this or find better strings to use.

I'm putting this project in the public domain. I might experiment with violin strings and see if this would work with a bow or I might
