Guitar Capo

thingiverse

I mocked up a capo based on the capo I use for my acoustic. I don't have a printer setup yet, so please provide feedback, the photo is what I based the design after and (approximately) how it should look. I uploaded 3 files because if you have the option to print out of a flexible material like TPU, I think that would be best for two of the parts (the piece that actually contacts and barres the strings, and the piece that clamps to the back of the guitar neck, this should keep from harming your neck), these two parts are in the “Capo-soft” file. and then I put the rest of the files in the “Capo-Strong” file and I'd print it out of something rigid, like PLA. If you just want to print all pieces together I added that file as well so that everything is together. I added screws as well to affix the two arms, but I'm not sure that they'll be strong enough so it might be best to use a rivet or go get m2 steel screws.
