Customizable Plectrum ([guitar] pick)

thingiverse

Each player has their own pick preferences regarding thickness, shape, and material. This design offers tapered thickness, adjustable corner radii, and an optional hole for attaching to a keyring, necklace, or other accessories. An updated STL file is now available with a center hole and notch for cord clipping, useful as baggie ties too. However, due to a rounding error in the current version, you must move the object onto the platform before printing. Makerware alerts users of this issue; other slicers may not. The default settings are optimized for nylon, but picks made with Taulman's 618 and 645 have proved durable with extreme shredding capabilities. If you print with ABS or PLA, reduce tip height to around 0.5 and bevel to about 0.5 or 0.75 for flexibility. For flat picks without taper, set the bevel to zero. The pick's final height depends on the tip height and bevel angle, and if the height variable is too low, the pick will have visible flats at thicker parts, affecting its stability on the build platform.
