Lapulele - A headless ukulele

thingiverse

My first attempt at a headless soprano ukulele is showcased in this video. To simplify things, I relocated the tuning pegs to the body. Although they function well, there's room for improvement. Adjusting the action is tricky since there's no proper method; thus, attaching the neck requires extra consideration. The body is glued to the neck and neck support, with the saddle placed in holes on the body but not yet glued in position. To attach the neck, place it upside down on a flat surface, supported by the saddle, first fret, and 12th fret. This method may need adjustment; suggestions are welcome. Despite my lack of experience with ukuleles, I managed to tune it successfully. All parts were printed in PLA with 20% infill, 4 shells, 0.25 layers, 0.6 wall thickness, and no support, except for the tuning peg, which was printed on a grid.
