Rubber Band Capo

thingiverse

Inspired by LoboCNC's innovative print-in-place capo design, I created my own version as part of a 3DHubs scholarship application. This version still prints in place but requires only one rubber band instead of a rubber strip, which can be challenging to find. Designed for use with a generic tan-colored rubber band approximately 6cm in diameter or 2.5 inches. Please note that the clamping force on this capo is not as strong as a standard capo with a spring, so keep this in mind when printing it. It works well on my electric guitar because of its looser strings but does not perform well on acoustic guitars. If you're looking for a capo specifically designed for an acoustic guitar, I suggest exercising caution as several issues have been reported in the comments section of LoboCNC's original design.
