KC PLAsticaster Guitar Body

thingiverse

The KC Plasticaster is a Stratocaster-style guitar with an easy-to-print body in chunky sections. I assembled it using an Anybucic I3 Mega 3D printer with a 1mm nozzle sourced from China. The total print time for all eleven parts, printed at a layer height of 0.6mm, was approximately 25 hours. To assemble the guitar, I used PVC glue to join the various pieces together. Before assembly, you'll need to drill holes in specific sections: one between parts six and seven for the output jack wiring, and another in part four to connect the ground wire with the spring plate on the back of the guitar. Since the bridge requires precise placement, I've included two versions of parts three and four - one with pre-drilled holes, and the other without. The center seam on the body serves as a convenient reference point for positioning the bridge. Optional parts eight through eleven are provided but not required for this build; they're shown in the "before the build" photos for reference. The body's infill is set at 80% for parts one through four, and 15% for the rest of the assembly. The finished guitar weighs approximately 1.7 kilograms, which is slightly heavier than most budget Stratocaster bodies.
