<p>An example of 3D model generated with my Gugulele OnShape script…</p> <ul> <li>Headless 3 string instrument</li> <li>Gourd shaped design</li> <li>250mm string length from nut to bridge</li> <li>Single rectangular through-body spine</li> <li>Single oval off center sound hole</li> <li>Tail-end placement of friction tuners</li> <li>2 pieces snap fit<ul> <li>body 320mm x 110mm x 57mm</li> <li>fretboard 152mm x 35mm x 12mm</li> </ul> </li> </ul> <p>I designed this for kids, but adults can sort of play it. Since this is a 3 string instrument, there isn't a standard tuning. My demo video (<a href="https://youtu.be/FQDd4ztBd5A">https://youtu.be/FQDd4ztBd5A</a>) has it tuned to A - C# - E i.e. A Major triad.</p> <p>Third Party Parts:</p> <ul> <li>Spine/rods e.g. <a href="https://dragonplate.com/ecart/product.asp?pID=749&amp;cID=20">https://dragonplate.com/ecart/product.asp?pID=749&amp;cID=20</a><ul> <li>It comes in ~610mm (24") long, just cut it down to size ~290mm...</li> <li>if you don't use a rod, the neck will bow under string tension</li> </ul> </li> <li>Cheap friction tuners like https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B002HFQ88Y</li> <li>Any soprano ukulele string set should do, e.g. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07SQ6DFKL/</li> </ul> <p>You can just snap fit the parts together!</p> Category: 3D Printing
