Came here from Reddit. Amazing video and concept. Out of curiosity, have you created any reinforcements between the neck pocket and bridge? From another 3D printed vídeo the builder saw the guitar loosing integrity over time and bending due to the tension of the strings.
There isn't any reinforcements in terms of non-plastic components, I just added a lot of outer walls and top/bottom layers with 40% infill to make sure it doesn't move. PLA is pretty stiff, and I havent seen any movement on other guitars, but I have no idea if it will last for more than a few years.
I've built three 3d printed guitars and can confirm this happened to my first two guitars. The changes in temperature and humidity here in Mexico affected the string action, I fixed this going up to 80% infill density through the bridge and neck joint. They are still playable adjusting thruss rod and tuning down. Also using active pickups helps mitigate the loss of sustain.
Great video Xavier! Love the concept, build and track! As I'm left handed could I just use someone else's template and mirror image the design so it could printed for a left handed played? Cheers Brett
Hello, I made a 15mm line and separated it However, there is an error when combining Can you make a review of the video about separation and combination or explain it?
Honestly, not great. It started coming undone a few weeks after I finished it, I think it's mostly because I didn't put enough glue. I untightened the strings to relieve some tension and it's been holding fine since, but I don't think it would hold much for very long unless I were to disassemble and re-glue everything
@@xavierdumont, Oh great! Thanks for the heads up Xavier! Keep doing such cool projects! btw: What pickup did you use in this build? Was it.a neck from an old parted guitar or a ready-bought neck?
That's a nice guitar. Can you share your fun? Most people don't know the design, they just print it out as a stl file~~ I can study and make it someday, but by then, I'm less interested. When you want to do it, you need to have fun making it I'll buy the hardware from Ali
@@xavierdumont It's so much fun. I want to copy it. It's a misunderstanding. Thank you for the STL file Do you happen to have a Floyd Rose STL file in the same version?
@@xavierdumont Thank you for your kind reply If you have time, I would appreciate it if you could attach the file added as a Floyd Rose file later. Unfortunately, there is no Floyd Rose STL file on RU-vid. This guitar is so cool. I really want to make it with Floyd Rose. I look forward to your deep consideration Thank you.
@@user-hg5du8dq4k I sincerely appreciate your kind words! I'll see what I can do. It's a bit difficult because there are dozens of different Floyd Rose models and they all have specific dimensions, it's quite hard for me to guarantee that the STL will fit the bridge and have good intonation.
I haven't really gotten to it because the model depends heavily on a specific set of hardware. But if you're not afraid of that it can be an interesting challenge.
