Guitar Capo

thingiverse

An acoustic guitar capo functions smoothly and is simple to fabricate using a 3D printer. The capo comprises four printed parts and two commercially sourced components. A standard spring from the Anet A8 leveling system, commonly found at local 3D printing stores, serves as one of the commercial parts, while the other is a short M3 bolt. Assembly is straightforward: simply insert the P2 part into the P1 part, aligning the holes, then pass the pin through and secure it with the washer and bolt on the opposite end. The final step involves attaching the spring. If the provided pin proves inadequate for your needs, consider substituting it with a M6 bolt and nut. Given my printer's subpar performance during this print job, I employed tolerances that may not yield optimal results for other users.
