Violin. Mod of Hovalin+V2.0

thingiverse

This is definitely not my build! It's actually a project from http://www.hovalin.com/ UPDATE - JAN 2018: Sadly, both of my violins have developed cracks and broken the tuning peg off, which made me think it might be good to let the strings go loose when they are not in use. Both were kept tightly tuned up. UPDATE - OCT 2016: Although this post is all about Version 2, I want to note that Version 3 of the design can now be found on their site. Maybe I'll even print version three someday, and then think about printing it in a lovely purple shade! The neck has been adjusted so it will fit properly on my Deltaprintr printer. As we speak, the bottom part is being printed for about 16 hours straight. After that, there are still two body pieces and two neck parts left to go. I wonder what impact other materials might have on the sound - could it possibly be different? I'm just glad that my print job finally completed but unfortunately during the final layer I had the printer moved a bit too far :(\n In addition, my printer is currently struggling with printing out pieces one and two of the neck so I modified it into version 1A. Version 2 has changed slightly, it includes pins in an area which won't exert excessive force on them after all have been printed. Well I can just barely not let well enough alone; this time however there's an important modification involved with the dovetail joint rotation to a total of ninety degrees. If we cut down on stress we're doing something right - at least I am today! But anyway my version was modified from Violin_Neck_3A.stl so I have changed it for support now that this AM it has stopped failing and can be moved over, because the design did not do this originally To stick the 2 neck parts together I'm going to make use of Epoxy. This could become rather good with more work! Now then my final suggestion here: take the print settings, layer heights at about .1 mm. But before that one thing caught me off guard, the Deltaprintr printer moved slightly and ruined the carbon rods that did not pass into it because it was shifted during printing. I now think a different printer speed will have an effect here The Deltaprintr also took longer at 60mm/sec instead of the first ones set up as they were. You know - my Orange model should probably get an entirely new print since this is necessary due to moving and changing some printer settings. Also, you can always just shave off that one piece from the rods I've thought - and here are a number of ideas. This time I think printing an entirely fresh set is best. Check out more on http://hovalin.com for even further video examples, see what this one did This particular project here actually made by someone else (hovalin LLC) at hovalin dot com licensed as CCL A - NC SA 4 For you folks, using Tinkercad will need it because my printer can only do this small half neck model I think if your printer needs more modifications then try modifying it after you finish.
