Solstie Uke with Betta Splendens Inlay

I was eager to print Solstie's outstanding design in a fine wood filament and experiment with doing some intricate inlay work via 3D printing. The results were surprisingly impressive! If you're not prepared to invest considerable time in post-processing to level out the inlay pieces, sand, and finish your ukulele, you'd be better off sticking with the original design. Consider yourself forewarned. Here's a video showing my process from start to finish: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tFQNRhltiLQ
