LP Style Guitar

thingiverse

I created a custom LP Style Guitar model for printing on a CR10 size bed (300mmx300mm). To ensure accurate scaling, I increased all OBJs to 2540% in Cura, which resolved the unit size conversion issue since I originally modeled in inches. For added strength, I printed with 3mm walls and 50% triangle infill in Cura, except for the neck shim, which was printed at 100% infill. The model includes both Left Handed (LH) and Right Handed Parts (RH), catering to left-handed players like myself. To print efficiently, lay parts flat on the bed; Thingiverse displays them vertically, but this isn't necessary. Be prepared for a long printing process: the front section of the body took 82.5 hours, while the other sections required around 42 hours each. To simplify things, I designed the top to be easily swappable, allowing you to print different tops without re-printing the entire body. For this project, I used approximately two rolls of black PLA (Tainse Brand) and less than half a roll of Army Green PLA. Future models will feature additional top designs. Since the pick-ups are relatively low due to the flat design, consider adjusting or raising them as needed. The scale length of 24-3/4" is ideal for 22-fret necks; you can purchase a Kmise neck from Amazon for around $45, which is what I used. Additionally, source tuners, bridges, and neck plates from Amazon to complete the guitar build. To simplify wiring, get the Kwick Plug wire harness and pickups from GFS (Guitar Fetish), eliminating the need for soldering. A crucial note: I reduced the body depth to 1.5" to save time and filament, but this may cause some neck screws to be too long. Use shorter screws, or substitute with drywall screws like I did.
