3D Printed Electric Ukulele

thingiverse

A Custom-Made Electric Ukulele Printed with Cutting-Edge Technology. Requiring a variety of non-printed components, this one-of-a-kind instrument showcases exceptional sound quality. However, due to the print's limitations in PLA material, the body tends to be rather pliable, and achieving optimal tuning may take some time. Over two years have passed since I first brought this innovative creation into existence. Regrettably, it has exhibited minor warping caused by string tension, a consequence that might be avoided with proper design modifications. Upon re-examining the blueprint, I would replace the threaded rod running through the instrument with one made of heavier material. Furthermore, I would ensure the bridge is securely attached, either through robust adhesives or fully integrated into the print. Printed using my friend's cutting-edge RepRap Prusa i3 machine, this design allows for relatively simple adjustments to its specifications, rendering it highly versatile. **Design Overview** **Custom Parts List** While certain parts may be out of stock at present, users are free to modify the provided blend file as per their needs and preferences. **Required Components:** * **M5 Nuts, Bolts, and Washers** * **M2.5 Nuts, Bolts, and Washers** * **Thicker M5 Threaded Rod:** Ideal for improved durability and reduced warping risk * **Steel Ukulele Strings**: Ensure superior tone quality and optimal playability (Source: eBay) * **Tuning Pegs**: Essential for precise pitch control (Acquired through eBay auction) * **Female Jack Plug**: Conveniently attaches to an amplifier or soundboard, delivering clear, distortion-free audio * **Guitar Pickup**: A key component in capturing the unique sounds and tonal variations produced by the custom instrument **Accessories:** Fretboard: Bridge: Print Settings for Your 3D Ukulele.
