Custom Wide Neck Concert Ukulele

prusaprinters

<p>Similar to all my other headless ukulele designs. I designed it for folks with bigger hands and fingers, the nut width is 40mm, 10mm between strings. It can be printed with FDM printers of at least 300mm in Z-axis, and 250mmx250mm on X &amp; Y. I haven't printed this yet, so if you did successfully, please link your make here with photos and videos to show sound quality.</p> <p>This model comes in 5 pieces to be glued together:</p> <ul> <li>Body, max length ~292mm<ul> <li>Print like a vase, i.e. neck pointing up, so no internal support needed</li> </ul> </li> <li>Neck, max length ~233mm<ul> <li>Print flat face on plate</li> </ul> </li> <li>Fretboard, max length ~248mm<ul> <li>Print flat face on plate</li> </ul> </li> <li>Bridge, to be screwed and/or glued to body<ul> <li>Print flat face on plate</li> </ul> </li> <li>Guides (for string at tail), to be glued into body<ul> <li>Print flat on plate</li> </ul> </li> </ul> <p>Other parts needed:</p> <ul> <li>2 pieces of carbon fiber rods e.g. <a href="https://dragonplate.com/dragonplate-carbon-strip-rectangle-125-x-325-x-24">from DragonPlate</a> to be the spines of this unit, otherwise it will buckle under string tension, cut it down to size of ~472mm</li> <li>4 small friction or planetary tuning pegs e.g.<ul> <li><a href="https://www.google.com/search?q=grover+jr+friction+tuners+ukulele">Google Seach Friction pegs...</a></li> <li><a href="https://www.google.com/search?q=gotoh+UPTL+tuners+ukulele">Google Seach Gotoh UPTL...</a><ul> <li>You'll need the Long version i.e. UPTL as the thickness of tuning stem hole is roughly 9.6mm</li> </ul> </li> </ul> </li> </ul> Category: 3D Printing
