Equilibrium Mk1 3-D Printable Electric Violin for Large-Scale Printer

thingiverse

First and foremost, I am a cellist, not a violinist. I apologize for any misunderstandings that might arise out of that. Please let me know of any mistakes that were made in this design -- I want to improve it! This is an early draft. I'm currently working on a much larger electric cello (also 3-D printable). I designed this violin after seeing a number of other violin designs I saw that I thought were either too complicated or, I thought, oversimplistic and frankly kind of ugly. A lot of them also required supports, which annoyed me because I dislike wasting filament. This design does not require supports at all. You will need a large build volume to print this violin (I'm using a CR-10 with 300/300/400 build volume). The bridge design is included in the design now. I forgot to originally put it in. I designed it as a sort of lattice-based design so that it could vibrate more than a solid bridge. The pickup and amp items can be found below. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000B6DHAS/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o01_s01?ie=UTF8&psc=1 https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B078N94QTH/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 You will also need a cable between the two. I had one lying around. I think the one linked below will work. https://www.amazon.com/Hosa-GTR-205R-Straight-Right-Angle-Guitar/dp/B0018R6AGM/ref=pd_bxgy_267_img_3?_encoding=UTF8&pd_rd_i=B0018R6AGM&pd_rd_r=REYV9QF48GK7CDJ8VSSR&pd_rd_w=r1tcj&pd_rd_wg=iKKQr&psc=1&refRID=REYV9QF48GK7CDJ8VSSR&dpID=41LCy54bsjL&preST=_SX300_QL70_&dpSrc=detail I'm currently working on a mount for the jack of the pickup (would be printed in TPU). Please read the print/post processing information for further details. Again, this is a first draft. I fully intend to improve upon the design. I hope that anyone seeing this will provide feedback on it to help me do that. So please leave any questions/comments/ideas for improvement in comments section!
