hey i have a couple questions because i wanna build this, can i mesaage you somewhere???
@@pablosermentrosique3316 You can just ask me here! Maybe other will be interested in the answer to your question.
You absolutely can sand it and head gun it. Or clear coat it. 👍👍
I made this about a year ago and its such a fun build. I did mine in black white and gray. And two maybe three red pixels.
I saw that! Very cool
oh my, didn't expect :O that great job 👍
Thank you!
Looks badass
Thank you!
Came here from Reddit - this video was great and the guitar looks awesome!
Thank you so much! I'm really glad you like it!
Wow! Amazing, thanks for sharing this awesome project. What type of filament was used? PLA, ABS, etc?
Thanks! I realize I forgot to mention it. It's all PLA, easy to print and pretty stiff so it works well in this use case :)
Came here from Reddit. Amazing video and concept. Out of curiosity, have you created any reinforcements between the neck pocket and bridge? From another 3D printed vídeo the builder saw the guitar loosing integrity over time and bending due to the tension of the strings.
There isn't any reinforcements in terms of non-plastic components, I just added a lot of outer walls and top/bottom layers with 40% infill to make sure it doesn't move. PLA is pretty stiff, and I havent seen any movement on other guitars, but I have no idea if it will last for more than a few years.
I've built three 3d printed guitars and can confirm this happened to my first two guitars. The changes in temperature and humidity here in Mexico affected the string action, I fixed this going up to 80% infill density through the bridge and neck joint. They are still playable adjusting thruss rod and tuning down. Also using active pickups helps mitigate the loss of sustain.
Awesome! Could you elaborate on how you made the body's relief cuts in Fusion? Thanks!
Check out Austin Shaner on TH-cam, he has the perfect video on exactly this subject!
@@xavierdumont, Oh great! Thanks for the heads up Xavier! Keep doing such cool projects! btw: What pickup did you use in this build? Was it.a neck from an old parted guitar or a ready-bought neck?
@@r00yce the pickup is by DiMarzio, can't find the exact model. The neck is from Amazon or AliExpress, they aren't perfect but surprisingly good!
Great project! Where can I find stl files for printing?
Thanks! I'm a bit hesitant to share files because they depend heavily on a specific set of hardware parts.
Does it come in pink and with a FR tremolo so I can live the 80s hair metal dream?
Sick lloking guitar man. Great job!
That would be sick! With pink, purple and blue gradients. It would probably look even better than this one!
Great video Xavier! Love the concept, build and track! As I'm left handed could I just use someone else's template and mirror image the design so it could printed for a left handed played?
Cheers
Brett
Thank you! Yes, in theory, mirroring it on the axis perpendicular to the neck should do the trick, though I haven't tried it
@@xavierdumontok awesome! Thank you from Australia! :)
What type of device did you use to showing the guitar in rotation in the reveal part?
It's just a cheap amazon display turntable with a cabinet door placed on top
How did you add the relief cuts?
Check out Austin Shaner on YT, he has a video describing the exact process I used
Hello, I made a 15mm line and separated it However, there is an error when combining Can you make a review of the video about separation and combination or explain it?
Hi, I'm not sure what you mean by 15mm line. Where is this line located? What is its purpose?
Could you send me the f3d file?
I want to study your intentions with the file
How can I get the STL files? I'm happy to pay you for your hard work.
I haven't really gotten to it because the model depends heavily on a specific set of hardware. But if you're not afraid of that it can be an interesting challenge.
@@xavierdumont I am totally up for it! I'm printing a Prusacaster at this very moment. :)
Can I please have the print file?? I want to make this
It's in the pinned comment :)
That’s so cool. Are the print files available anywhere?
Yes, in the pinned comment :)
What's that white guitar on your right?
It's another guitar I printed, though I never filmed it. A replica of a Capeli guitar, similar to the one Luca Turilli has
Hey, it's been a year. How's the body holding up vs string tension?
Honestly, not great. It started coming undone a few weeks after I finished it, I think it's mostly because I didn't put enough glue. I untightened the strings to relieve some tension and it's been holding fine since, but I don't think it would hold much for very long unless I were to disassemble and re-glue everything
@@xavierdumont Thanks for the reply!
What did you use for the rear cavity cover?
It's just another printed piece with a couple of screws
please can you share the files for print 3d
I'm not sure I will share the files but I will let you know if I do!
@@xavierdumont thank you its i like a lot the idea its like retro 80s arcade
Amazing I suggest you 3d print a guitar neck
Thanks, it's definitely on the list!
What glue did you use?
It's 3D Gloop
That's a nice guitar. Can you share your fun? Most people don't know the design, they just print it out as a stl file~~ I can study and make it someday, but by then, I'm less interested. When you want to do it, you need to have fun making it I'll buy the hardware from Ali
I'm not sure I understand, are you saying that I don't look like I'm having fun?
@@xavierdumont It's so much fun. I want to copy it. It's a misunderstanding. Thank you for the STL file
Do you happen to have a Floyd Rose STL file in the same version?
@@user-hg5du8dq4k No worries! Unfortunately no, I don't have a Floyd Rose version, but it might be possible to adapt the current STL
@@xavierdumont Thank you for your kind reply If you have time, I would appreciate it if you could attach the file added as a Floyd Rose file later. Unfortunately, there is no Floyd Rose STL file on TH-cam. This guitar is so cool. I really want to make it with Floyd Rose. I look forward to your deep consideration Thank you.
@@user-hg5du8dq4k I sincerely appreciate your kind words! I'll see what I can do. It's a bit difficult because there are dozens of different Floyd Rose models and they all have specific dimensions, it's quite hard for me to guarantee that the STL will fit the bridge and have good intonation.
