VERSION 2 OUT NOW!! I'm an amateur luthier, so thought I would try my own take on a 3D printed guitar! The main aim of this was to create something which would last. So central to the design is the ability to strengthen the print with 10mm rods. These could be wooden dowels or metal tubes. I opted for carbon fibre rods - they are dimensionally accurate and very stiff. My concern was that (if using PLA) the body could creep over time - causing the guitar to go out of tune and eventually structurally fail. I've not printed any other guitars because I always worry about this! So hopefully the carbon rods and the string-through design avoid this. I also wanted the guitar to be modular, seeing as it needed to be printed in sections anyway. So everything attaches magnetically and you can swap out each piece for different colours/patterns/hardware. This will add to the longevity; if you find that a part has begun to creep, then you can print a new one, rather than the entire guitar. F
