Solid Body Ukulele (2.5D CNC Project)

thingiverse

This is a simple ukulele that requires under 20 minutes of machining time. We have created examples from basswood, maple, and fir with great success. Fir and basswood are lightweight options, but maple is a very durable and attractive wood to stain. The project files are available for download, including the Fusion design file (.F3D) and CAD-independent files such as STL and DXF. Watch the included video on how we made ours.
