Violin Bow Guide

Update #2: January 13, 2019: To accommodate a full-size (4/4) violin, increase the x and y dimensions by 5% in your slicer software. For a 2/4 violin, scale x and y to 93%. In every case, you may need to fine-tune the design by immersing the looped portion of the guide in hot water (80-100 degrees Celsius) and adjusting the arms to achieve precise dimensions. Update: January 13, 2019: I'm currently test-printing new sizes for 4/4 and 2/4 violins and will share the files once they're confirmed to fit! This innovative design was created as part of a middle school engineering project. The bow guide attaches directly to the fingerboard of a violin, providing essential training for beginners to maintain their bow in the ideal position between the fingerboard and bridge. Please refrain from copying or commercializing my design. Instead, use it to empower other new violinists! I initially designed this guide for a 3/4 violin. Future versions will cater to various sizes, with more iterations coming soon. Your feedback is invaluable! Share your thoughts on what you appreciate about the design and suggest areas that need improvement.
