<p>This Soprano size ukulele is a 3 piece design:</p> <ul> <li>Body</li> <li>Fretboard</li> <li>Bridge</li> </ul> <p>It has a conventional headstock in contrast to my other headless design.</p> <p>It has a groove in the neck to accommodate a neck rod to stiffen it as most 3D printed plastic is too bendy under string tension. Use something like this for the in-neck rod:</p> <ul> <li><a href="http://www.acpsales.com/.125-x-.325-Rectangular-Rod.html">http://www.acpsales.com/.125-x-.325-Rectangular-Rod.html</a></li> </ul> <p>Also it is meant to be fitted with:</p> <ul> <li>simple friction tuners like http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00E3UA3JQ</li> <li>simple bridge pins like http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B006X0UCKY</li> </ul> <p>You can see/hear a demo of it on Youtube <a href="https://youtu.be/ooCCqn-EJtk">https://youtu.be/ooCCqn-EJtk</a></p> <h3>How I Designed This</h3> <p><strong>Open SCAD</strong></p> <div><p>Scaling spheres, making sure gradient is smooth where parts meet, lots of trigonometry :-)</p></div> Category: Music
