Guitar Hero Whammy Bar Replacement Part

thingiverse

This is a replacement part for a broken whammy bar for a Wii Guitar Hero guitar. A little nib broke off causing the whammy bar to not spring back. Instructions I designed the part in CATIA V6. It came out pretty well, but I had to file the interior of the side pegs quite a bit to get it to fit. I suspect I should have increased the diameters of both by 05.mm-1.0mm. I did make one small modification to the original design (besides making the holes too small). I added fillets to the edges of the nib that broke off originally. Hopefully this will add enough strength to keep it from happening again. I'm not sure what 3d printer I used, but it looks expensive (I'll try to find out wich model it is). I'm participating in a workshop and we were given one chance to make any part we wanted, so I wanted to make a part that I don't think I can print on my Replicator.
