The JAx Violin (5 String & 6 String)

thingiverse

Finally, a 5 String Electric Violin on Thingiverse! There is also a 6 string option included here if you like. And the most recent 4 string (https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3505364) There are also extra copies of all the same pieces with hidden conduits and hidden compartments should you choose to go a little crazy with your project. Due to popular demand, my violins are now available assembled and customizable for you on Etsy as well: https://www.etsy.com/listing/687390452/the-jax-dragon-violin UPDATE: Added 2 Fingerboard version for larger bed printers that avoids a seam in the fingerboard. “Full” which fits PRUSA and LONG which is the original length but needs an even bigger bed than a PRUSA. This is not a critical option in the end; but a number of people have requested the option so I've been trying to get it designed and tested. I like the result. Thank you to Autotilt for the inspiration. If you're curious about how this sounds being played, user @roady shared this video with me of their print being passed around and played at a convention in Kazakhstan. https://www.facebook.com/1253123473/posts/10216838628538686/ This is currently a work in progress, as I haven't finished assembling mine yet. But since it's almost done and I need to take a break for a bit, I feel comfortable publishing it as I know there have been a number of requests. If you're not familiar with 5 string violins they are just like 4 strings, but have an added lower C string making them like a violin and a viola in one. My wife happens to be a viola player, so I'm hoping to get her assistance fine tuning this one when I get around to wiring it up.

UPDATED: The tuning peg holes weren't quite right and flipped inconsistently, so I rebuilt all those pieces to be more consistent and clean.
