Headless electric guitar V3

prusaprinters

<p>This is the third version of my headless guitar design. The main improvements are the shape modification and the installation of a floating trem system.</p><p>I have uploaded the step files in case anyone is interested in customizing it (make sure to adapt it to the scale length of your neck).</p><p>The body is printed in 4 parts, to fit in a 220x220 bed, and bond together with a special silicone.</p><p>To ensure the guitar rigidity, I have placed a 10mm steel plate (I know it’s thicker than needed), where the neck and bridge are bolted. Between them, I placed 5mm methacrylate plates glued together. I selected this material because it's light, rigid, cheap and very easy to manipulate.</p><p>For bonding the body and the steel plate, it's just a "pressure fit", designed to fit together after installing the bridge and neck.</p><p>The covers for the electronics cavity and steel plate use magnets, to make it easier to access.</p><p>For the headless configuration, a floyd rose locking nut is used as the head, bolted to the neck with M3 bolts and nuts.&nbsp;</p><p>The bridge is a cheap one purchased in <a href="https://es.aliexpress.com/item/4000216172620.html?spm">Aliexpress</a>.</p><p>Printing settings:</p><ul><li>0.32mm layer height</li><li>35% cubic infill and&nbsp;</li><li>3 perimeters</li><li>No supports</li><li>PLA</li></ul><p>The main hardware used:</p><ul><li>Bridge:<br><a href="https://es.aliexpress.com/item/4000216172620.html?spm">https://es.aliexpress.com/item/4000216172620.html?spm</a></li><li>Pickups (amazing sound for its price):<br><a href="https://es.aliexpress.com/item/1005003676113109.html?spm">https://es.aliexpress.com/item/1005003676113109.html?spm</a></li><li>The silicone used (it's a spanish brand, idk if it's sold in other countries):<br><a href="https://www.fischer.es/es-es/productos/quimica-de-la-construccion/sellantes-adhesivos-ms/ms-extreme-tack">https://www.fischer.es/es-es/productos/quimica-de-la-construccion/sellantes-adhesivos-ms/ms-extreme-tack</a></li></ul><p>The budget for the project was around 160 euros.</p><p>&nbsp;</p>
