Spidocaster 3D Printed Guitar - Working Design

thingiverse

This should be ready to go. A few of the parts will need supports, which can be added using slicer software. I'm going to see how they print with these supports in place. I also made a Left-Handed pick guard in case there are any lefties wanting this model. To make a lefty version, just mirror all of the body pieces and print the LH PICK GUARD.stl file. Please share any pics or thoughts on this if you print it. I put a lot of work into this and hope others can make an awesome and unique guitar out of these parts. UPDATED 12/23/17 I have printed all of these parts, including several with custom supports in the main body file. However, the supports didn't work as well as I had hoped. If I were to print the main body again, I would do it lying flat on its back. The V2 body file has had the horn cut off to print separately and has holes added for the rear spring anchor bracket. The bridge mounting holes have also been modified to accept "heat-set" thread inserts like these here: https://www.mcmaster.com/#threaded-inserts/=1atdkxn I'm also adding files to print the multi-color logo on the pick guard. I printed the one in the photos by printing one layer of each color, leaving the previous print on the bed and printing right around it. The files are designed to print two layers like this, changing filament 8 times. Layer height would be best at .2 for this to work correctly. It worked great for me. Print the pick guard, logos, text, and borders upside down if you print these on a glass bed. I learned how to setup files for multi-color printing from Joel (3D Printing Nerd). He has a great video of how to set up files to print in multi-color here: https://youtu.be/RE-ZgJ5vzXk UPDATE: 12-30-17: I've added an output jack bezel that I embossed with a spider web. It looks great on the guitar. UPDATE: 1-7-18: I've uploaded a custom knob I designed for this model. I planned to have these professionally printed, so I uploaded it in case anybody else wants to do the same. ENJOY!!!! UPDATE: 1-14-18: Watch for a version 2 of this design. The parts all fit well and assembled great, but there are a few things that need to be fixed. The bridge screw holes don't match the stock Fender tremolo for some reason. I've checked the blueprint I found online and it turns out the holes are off almost 2mm. I'm uploading a new main body model here shortly to fix this issue.
