Thank you! Overall it has held up well. I recommend high infill percentage and a good amount of glue to keep everything from flexing. The wood dowels and panels help quite a bit too.
Very interesting build! I love the epoxy colour and swirls. I would prefer the whole face of the guitar covered with the epoxy though. Another issue is that placing the pots behind the bridge is not optimal for easy access during playing.
Thanks so much for the feedback! I just added an option on the website to purchase ALL 6 designs for a discounted price! www.the3dprintzone.com/shop/p/alldesigns Enjoy man! Looking forward to seeing your build!
Brilliant design!!! I will add this to my next 3D-printed project. Already built 2 3d printed guitars with Strat and strandberg shapes, but had a few issues dealing with the string tension and proper intonation. I think yours solves these issues and helps the guitar sound better. Anyways, what is the total weight of the guitar compared to a wood Les Paul?
Awesome build. I'm planning on 3d printing a guitar body soon. This is going to be my first build and your video has been super helpful! I have a question though. Im thinking about adding latches on the bridge (with 100% infill) for 4 sections of body, as well as slots for dowels on the body, to make the rest of the body fully customizable. Do you have any idea how this would affect the structural integrity of the bridge piece? I really dont want any material creep. Really, great video! Edit: if it matters I will be using PLA.
@@averagefan8199 I decided against doing a 3d build, mainly out of concern of the guitar being top-heavy. I did build a tele-style guitar though and it turned out great.
i just bought all the files. as a 3d print fanatic and guitar player, this is awesome. i allready made the prusacaster. are there any chances in the future that there are stratocasters comming? or other designs
Sweet! Thanks for the feedback! Yes, I am currently working on a new 3D printed Telecaster-style design. I just posted an initial screenshot of the CAD on my instagram if you are interested to see what it looks like (link in video description). Similar to this design, the Tele will have a recess for pouring epoxy and I will have several variants with different patterns and designs. Ill be posting a video on this channel of the build and a demo playing it. I plan to create many other designs in the future as well, most likely including a strat design. Any suggestions?
Thanks for the question. I dont currently have a version with the pots in the traditional location, but I plan to post models with this change at some point.
Question is there a way to select different filament and print a guitar in one piece. I realize it requires a large printer. I am more talking about filament and maybe multi filament.
They come with a pocket for the 1/4" wood panels. I will be adding the STL files for people who want to 3D print the panels instead of using wood. If that is something you are looking for contact me through the website.
@the3dprintzone Neato cheetoh my dude. I also subbed to your Instagram. I am so stoked for your warlock video haha. I'm a metal head and it's my absolute fantasy to make a modular 3d take down guitar. Something easy for TSA travel if and air planes. You might be able to pull it off!
I am actually designing a Telecaster as we speak! Just posted a screenshot of the design on my instagram (check out the video description for the link). I also recent printed and built the Prusacaster. I have a video of the build and demo playing on my channel.
Your mistake with the jigsaw was caused by not having a fine blade inserted, the blade you had in it should only be used for ripping wood and not detail cuts.
Next time around I will definitely use a finer blade with my jigsaw....or might even get it laser cut :) Thanks for the feedback, like and subscribe and happy printing!
I get that this was a year ago & therefore you've probably gotten all the feed back you needed to rectify matters, but ill just spell it our anywayz.. check your intonation & action. Intonation wise, your Simple Man demo was waaaay off. Then there was something else you played towards the end that suggests maybe action might also be an issue. Regardless, seeing as this video is a year old, it would be great if you did an update video about this guitar so we can all learn about what worked & what you think/know needs correcting.
It certainly looks interesting. But the most important question of such 3D and epoxy guitars is, how do they sound in the mix? Apart from other instruments and with new strings, you may get the impression that this project has a good sound. But a comparison with an instrument that is built of high-quality wood, I'm afraid it will be at the level of a guitar from an ordinary Chinese guitar factory.

Just curious: How has the body held up over time? Has there been any bowing in the main section?
Awesome build!

I am building one of these. Thank you for the perfect assembly instruction video.
Awesome, enjoy the build!
@@the3dprintzone is there any way I can message you.? I have a.
question about wiring.

When I get the chance…I’m building this. Thanks for the build.
I’ll be posting it to my channel.
Liked and subbed my friend.

Thank you, I appreciate the feedback! I may make a future version with the pots in the traditional location.
Wow, this is really motivating!
Subbed for playing weezer lmao. Buying stls and trying to do this too!
Love Weezer 😄 Awesome, and thanks for the sub!
I really enjoyed watching this. Great job, love the finish.
Thank you, I appreciate the comment!
Very cool project! Have you considered adding an option for buying all styles at a discount? I know for me I’d like the river and bubbles one
Thanks so much for the feedback! I just added an option on the website to purchase ALL 6 designs for a discounted price! www.the3dprintzone.com/shop/p/alldesigns Enjoy man! Looking forward to seeing your build!
Beautiful guitar my friend. I hope to build one and play my very own 3d printed guitar one day
Thank you, I love how it turned out, looks even better than I expected!
Great video it gives me confidence that I could make on myself. Thanks for the time and effort you put into creating it.
Thank you! It was fun to design and even more fun to build!
Cool you can make any body you want.
Cool project.
Thanks! Will be posting a new video in the next couple of weeks of a new 3D printed guitar….a telecaster style design :) 🎸
That Weezer bit at the end got me sold lmao

Great video and design!
Thank you! Appreciate the comment!
Awesome idea!
But the 3-way switch needs to be turned 90 degrees ;)
This is so cool!
Thank you! I think so too :P
How has it held up?
i would love to see you do this with a guitar youtube and they do a review. itd be sick
Wow!!!!
Are there post for a strap?

@@the3dprintzone great, i'll keep an eye on it. Printing the river as we speak.
@@Vdbdesigns-3dprint It's a fun build, enjoy!
What xould be a nice upgrade, is to include the files for a wood inlay where the epoxy is. Think that would be a great look
@@Vdbdesigns-3dprint good idea!
Do you already have a model with the pots on the traditional location?
Thanks for the question. I dont currently have a version with the pots in the traditional location, but I plan to post models with this change at some point.
Hallo ich habe die Datei heute gekauft river und wollte sie drucken doch sie passt nicht auf mein Bett 220x220 muss man sie verkleinern?😮
have you ever tried 3D printing with PEEK? i wonder how a PEEK guitar would work.
Question is there a way to select different filament and print a guitar in one piece. I realize it requires a large printer. I am more talking about filament and maybe multi filament.
Yes, the model can be combined into a single part for large build plate 3D printers
I am having issues with the neck fitting, did you have to sand the body to get it to fit? It is a little too big for the body and wont slide in.
Do the STL files come with a fill in piece where the wood goes? Or will mine have a divot?
They come with a pocket for the 1/4" wood panels. I will be adding the STL files for people who want to 3D print the panels instead of using wood. If that is something you are looking for contact me through the website.

Would you by any chance be willing to provide step files upon purchase?
please make a Telecaster!

🤘❤️🤘
Hey the wooden panel, what is the thickness? In the linked site they mention 1 inch. Could you please confirm
1/4 inch
do a Telecaster pls
I modeled up some pickup spacers if anyone needs them LMK.
ME
lol i ordered inline pegs by accident too
:)

im in the middle of building this and just realized there arent any strap locks....
You say 1/4 in wood but the link is for 1in wood
Thanks for bringing this to my attention. The correct thickness is 1/4 inch. I've updated the link.
Anyone print this in carbon fiber?
That would be cool

Dude.......that amp is killing me. Get yourself a tube distortion pedal and you'll have better tone. Behringer tube monster is pretty good and cheap.
Yea, its a cheap starter amp. I plan to buy a better quality amp at some point in the future.
I don`t think there is anything wrong with the amp (or with his playing) but for the love of mankind, TUNE YOUR GUITAR, dude!
