AKAI EWI 5000 spit guard

thingiverse

Coming from alto sax, I'm accustomed to having the instrument catch its own spit. But with this setup, the spit is just dripping down - no good at all. I was looking for a solution that would do three things: a) Catch most of the spillage in normal usage b) Be small and unobtrusive c) Not scratch or wear out the visible paint on the body So I utilized the 6.3 mm jack on the bottom, which isn't used with the 5000 since it's wireless anyway, to add an L-sized holder. Just clamp a piece of cotton or tissue in there and change it every 30 minutes - easy peasy! Sorry for the low contrast in photos; I only had transparent filament left.
