NFT: Just 3d printed my own guitar

that's easily the coolest thing I have seen all day!

I appreciate it. It was a labor of love. I was surprised when it worked because I had never done something like this.

Can you discuss the process and how it was designed and assembled?

Just starting to learn to play guitar myself!

the link in the OP post explains, literally, everything

That is incredible. Great job!

even close to a musician and maybe the coolest thing I've ever seen on BBI.

That is one helluva project, I'm impressed. Well done.

That sir, is fucking outstanding

I just picked up a 3D printer last week from Microcenter and I'm getting familiar with it.

What material did you print the guitar with? ABS, PLA ?

but you used a $3000 printer to make a $200 guitar? Are you planning on selling them? Tell me what I'm missing...

Well you won't just use the printer for one guitar...You can make more of them, or thousands of other things...The mere fact he was able to do all of this from scratch is extremely impressive and is a perfect example of the power of these 3-D printers.

Looks pretty nice too!

.

Jerry Reese a tight end?

That's cool as shit.

Well done.

Very cool!

Was to print and make a strat for about a $100, not including cost of plastic.

I used a printer and pla plastic that my employer got for free. Printer was a makerbot replicator 2 made right in Brooklyn.

I was surprised how cheap you could get a neck and electronics off of amazon - $30 and $47

Even including plastic you can make one for well under $150

But the reason I did it was just to see if I could

When I finished I told my wife I needed a new project and she said "how about fixing the garage door"?

cool, but I think fixing the garage door will be much harder.

I can't even begin to imagine the fun someone could have with one of those printers. The possibilities seem endless.

Me a classic mustang fastback

garage door springs, they'll kill ya.

js: that is outstanding! Those printers have come a long way. See if your employer will invest in a bigger one so you can do the neck, next time.

Congratulations!

this is amazing

I wasn't criticizing, just curious because of the overhead costs for the printer. Like I said, it's very cool and I totally appreciate the notion of climbing a mountain simply because "it's there."

Thanks for sharing.

something. Thanks for sharing.

What 3D modeling software and printer device did you use?

for the printing. Good choice.

could be dangerous!

And for software I used autodesk fusion360, ptc creo (pro/engineer) and soildworks.

I used all three just because I wanted to learn and play with all three.

The original model of the 62 strat was from grabcad

a tight end?

Repete. Oy.

It's probably the most blown away I've been by any new technology in my life. Or at least in the running.

Can you open source the files? Would love to check that out

Whats wild is that they are now using materials other then plastic to do this such as Concrete

I have a whole music program that would love to see this and perhaps expand on it.

GREAT project man. Kudos

Pro/E and Solidworks have always been favorites of mine.

$150 towards another guitar...

Yes, but you're an idiot. So, there's that.
