Electric Guitar Hook - Asymmetrical

thingiverse

My son rocks a Sante Fe electric guitar that always leans against his cupboard. I figured, why not craft an asymmetrical bracket tailored to his axe? That's the beauty of 3D printing – bringing innovative ideas to life. To ensure stability, I drilled extra screw holes to support the weight of the guitar. Although we didn't use all of them, it might be a useful feature if you're mounting it on drywall or similar surfaces. We opted for version one initially, but version two promises better results since the screws won't need to cut into the plastic. I'm eager to hear your feedback – version one features small holes, while version two boasts bigger ones suitable for using nuts and bolts. Print Settings: Printer: Dremel Idea Builder Rafts: No Supports: No Infill: 15% Notes: Two shells made from PLA. Designing This I used Autodesk Fusion 360 to create this design. Although I'm still learning the ropes, it worked out pretty well for a couple of hours' practice. Since the guitar is a fairly common design, I thought adding hooks would be a great feature – if your handle is larger or smaller, you might want to adjust the print accordingly. The neck size of my son's guitar measures 42mm. When mounting it, I realized this bracket could work for many guitars – simply swivel it slightly to achieve perfect contact at the top. Surprisingly, 8g x 60mm Chipboard Countersink screws turned out to be the perfect fit for version one.
