FUNCTIONAL 3D Printable Hurdy Gurdy

thingiverse

I designed this fully functional 3D printable hurdy gurdy that requires tight tolerances for its construction. To ensure accurate printing, I recommend running the HG Tolerance Test on Thingiverse before moving on to the actual hurdy gurdy design. A step-by-step manual is available to guide assembly, but be sure to note the file names and numbers assigned to each component, as they will prove helpful during the building process. HG Tolerance Test: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4354158 To produce sound, apply rosin to the wheel and wrap cotton around the strings. Additionally, consider wrapping the wheel's edge in leather or a thin wooden strip, coating them with rosin for added durability. Alternatively, you can replace metal gutted strings with nylon ones for increased lifespan.
