SHOWCASED @ CES 2016!!! Here is a discount link for anything you purchase from the Robo3d website including printers! Go check it out! http://robo3d.refr.cc/3H8RF4Z. My incredible journey can be read at https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/how-3d-printing-renewed-my-sense-purpose-life-jessie-sasser?trk=pulse_spock-articles, and the entire build process is visible on YouTube in a video I published titled "Building my Widow's Web Guitar with Robo 3D", accessible at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E2DFGc3nYXE&feature=youtu.be. After creating this amazing project, I decided to make all of its files available for the public's enjoyment, since they greatly enriched my life and I want to pass on the same thrill to others who will experience 3D printing as well. It wouldn't have been possible without Braydon Moreno and his remarkable team at Robo 3D. Everyone who supported and encouraged me during this project has earned a huge round of thanks! This incredible design was made using 3D Studio Max, along with the power tool MeshLab, on the highly effective and incredibly versatile printer known as the Robo 3D R1 with a remarkably small amount of support, which just managed to be used when it became absolutely necessary. Since printing one piece at a time would have required too long an amount of print time due to its considerable size, I split the guitar's body into six segments to ensure faster and easier completion using my Robo 3D R1 printer. To maintain stability for the center parts I decided to print them with 100% infill; all other components had an infill ratio of just 60%, because it's really not as difficult to achieve a more rigid piece if the infill is made solid, so less PLA would be used up in that way and you will end up needing much less money. Be aware this work is unfinished and I made some slight adjustments to ensure all elements fitted together properly. When constructing a device such as my 3D printed guitar, it might just have a few things not exactly fitting the way they should be on completion - which would probably result from either errors with design or during assembly process. The most likely thing that needs modifying will vary greatly from project to project and person. That's where collaboration enters in – share all your progress even if you do manage to make some mistakes - and remember it doesn't matter even when the outcome doesn't exactly turn out the way you expected - you will certainly find help and feedback! Just be certain that comments left should have kindness at their base since people of high heart often feel a lot less pain from constructive feedback than the others. If there's something on your mind then do ask! I was the one creating this, by the name of Jessie Sasser and if you decide to go for this, it would take around 100 hours with all printings together combined in that order as specified at end here. And remember - Filament used is HATCHBOX’s PLA BLACK, Robo 3D R1 Printer and copyright of 2015 for Widows Web printed guitar, my username, Jessie Sasser at TechSupportGo.com and print settings: Raft? NO! Infill? Both, YES at the same time; 0.20 Resolution on the finest scale and that too all combined to get desired model. Once everything had adhered, using my favorite Loctitehttp://www.amazon.com/Loctite-1363118-Plastic-Bonder-Syringe/dp/B0044FBB8C/ref=pd_sim_60_5?ie=UTF8&refRID=1P3KNT3D1P1NXY2279XS&dpID=51-tVGTaiQL&dpSrc=sims&preST=_AC_UL160_SR160%2C160_, for which is one and only available from this place on the whole Amazon. Fender guitar's neck and electronics gave life to the whole device – everything else fell perfectly in its right shape by all means. Aluminum tape to be used for insulation will have a vital function at preventing any noise being created while operating your new built machine of great beauty with it when installed well - however do assemble with electronics at own risk! Remember you always got to be having the best fun making and playing something made like this so take full care when using your freshly acquired piece – Turn up the volume high now, it sounds perfect!!!. Before all of these came together beautifully I first began creating in 3DS Max and gave that result into MeshLab - and here's how I went about making this incredible Widows Web.
