DON'T GIVE UP ON THIS!!! I'm still on this ride. I wanna see this thing complete. Amazing work so far. So many awesome over the top ideas smashed into one guitar!
Thank you for being here! I usually get a sense pretty early on whether or not I'm going to stick it out with a project from start to finish, and I'm in it for the long haul on this one. Also, I probably made a mistake on this channel coming in with such an over the top project to start. I dunno if I'll be able to top the scale of this any time soon. 😄
Man man....this is becoming the most heavy metal project in all of youtube, keep up the amazing work! If it is difficult, is because its 100% worth it ❤
That might be overselling it a bit, but thank you so much! lol! I will say that, even though it doesn't have a ton of traction, the positive response so far has given me the drive to keep going through the rough spots. I'm beyond excited to show you guys the next update.
8th watcher here. Yeah you're not the only one who likes innovation on guitars :). So I also was printing a san dimas shape guitar and I came up with some shortcuts. You can use carbon rods and sheets wherever you need stiffness instead of 70%-80% infill rates. 1, much stronger. 2, much faster. I ran 3 carbon rods inside the body core and I layered 4 1.4mm (5.6mm total) carbon sheet on the neck joint. So, thank you for the update video. Switching to a pcb is a good decision. Much cleaner and also clears your doubts on your soldering skills.
It's crazy how much faster progress happens when you have people to bounce off of. 100% on the carbon fiber rods. I have a sneaking suspicion that I will probably do some reprints before it's all said and done and I'm totally doing CF in the core. Thanks for keeping up on the project man!
Holy craaaaazy stuff here. Just WOW! Stumbled across your 3D print guitar neck short vids, and now - WOW. Really get stuff you have going on, engineering, robots, guitars, metal, and much more. Thanks for the videos!
Thanks man, awesome to have you along for the ride! I'm sticking with it for better or worse. I've always said that I'm not particularly smart...I'm just persistent to a fault. 😆
For anyone watching who is still confused about running the pickups at a higher voltage: the lower voltage a preamp sees, the less clean headroom it has (generalizing). Many people can cause EMG and Seymour Duncan Blackout pickups to overload their preamps with how hard they hit the strings, causing a dark and undefined sound. Increasing the voltage increases the clean headroom and thus makes the pickups sound brighter and clearer (also potentially louder). EMG pickups can take up to 24 volts, but doing so without extensive modification to the actual guitar requires uncommon cells you're not likely to find at Walmart and a fairly expensive battery clip to convert them to the 9v pattern, so most people that do this mod tend to just splice in a 2nd 9v battery for 18v.
Thank you for adding some context here! I was really on the fence about how far to go explaining things in this video because it was already so dense. Also, I think you articulated it better than I could have anyway. 🤘
One of those rare days that the YT algorithm suggest something that I want to watch and haven't already watched... Well done, subscribed as a metal head and 3D printer my self.
Hell yeah man, thank you! This is about as niche as you can get, so I was surprised to see that there are a few of us out there. And by that, I mean at least more than 1 or 2. lol!
See, this is exactly what I was hoping to hear. I don't think it should be necessary to have an engineering bachelors degree to enjoy a fun project. Thank you!
Love the update, as always! For my teensy based synth project we had a module for conecting a midi controller or laptop with a DAW to the teensy, but someone messed something up and fried a usb port and a teensy 😅
Ouch! What Teensy version? Did you end up coming back around to it or is it still waiting on a replacement? For some reason, there's nothing more deflating to me than burning out hardware...even if it's not super expensive. I almost wish there was a way you could have a dummy microcontroller or something just to make sure things were all wired up properly before attaching. ...hmmm...did I just come up with my next project? 😆 MUST. RESIST. DISTRACTION.
@metalheadmaker it was a teensy 4.1 like yours. But this project is done in the university makerspace, so it is funded by the uni and we got a bunch of spares. We're still working on it, I haven't heard from the guy yet but it should be done soon.
Hello!!! The last few months I was actually trying to figure out how to make a project like this become reality myself. Currently an Electronics Engineering undergraduate with a HUGE passion for music. Once I discovered 3D printing and how you can combine that type of engineering with musical instruments I've been stuck since. Crazy coincidence how I stumbled upon your videos man, if only I'd known sooner... Almost all the ideas that have been mentioned in your videos I thought of giving them a try myself, but I'm stuck on how to get started. I was wondering, do you have any community related servers on some platform where fans can discuss such topics? On your projects even because by FAR you've done the most interesting work!
So cool that you're studying EE and into the same stuff! I'm just a hobbyist, so I'm really humbled! As far as a community, I have gotten 3 or 4 requests for this and I'm happy to spin up a Discord server, but I just wasn't seeing enough demand up until this point. Tell you what, it might take me a day or 2 to do it right, but let me spin one up and then I'll stop back and give you the info. Don't be surprised if it's just us and maybe 1 or 2 others initially. lol
@@metalheadmaker I wouldn't mind that AT ALL! Would actually be better to start off this way :D I'm certain you'll pop off at some point, especially if next gen lutherie follows this path(which would be awesome).
Как же я рад, что нашел твой канал. Меня посещала та же идея. 3D гитара с подсветкой (гриф,тело) встроенный тюнер и много другого. Я был бы рад вдохновится твоей задумкой и опытом. Спасибо товарищ :>
Это потрясающе, рад слышать, что вы тоже изучаете эту идею. Я настоятельно рекомендую попробовать, потому что это очень весело, даже если ничего хорошего не получится. Рок вперед! 🤘
@@metalheadmaker Вы сэкономили мне много времени которые я бы потратил на ошибки. 1 ) Что если между звукоснимателями с обратной стороны гитары сделать полость в которую уложить аккуратно батарейки тем самым сделав более компактную версию. 2 ) Можно ли подключить активные звукосниматели к схеме , что вы предложили (батарейка 9V) Не усложнит ли это схему. 3 ) Если сделать полость под батарейки будет ли пластмассовая гитара более хрупкой
@@BobFisher2007 Я сделал именно то, что вы описываете. У меня есть полость между звукоснимателем и грифом, куда будет помещаться аккумулятор, и она отлично работает. Толщина центрального сердечника делает его прочным, поэтому проблем с жесткостью быть не должно. Я также использую звукосниматель от аккумуляторной батареи вместо 9 В. В моих тестах это отлично сработало, но я еще не подключил все до конца.
The neck does work. You can see my early tests in my other videos. Yes, lots of dead frets, but that's because I had the fretboard temporarily attached and they were still raw. Yeah, once I get to the point where I have a fully working model, I'll definitely share this in some capacity.
Hi. Would you like to create a Discord channel so we can share the knowledge? I’d like to participate in your project partially cause I have similar ideas for my guitar build.
Ya know, I looked into this but decided not to because I don't think there's enough community to support it yet and it would be nice if I had something more reproducible to share, which this totally isn't right now. If traffic picks up then yeah, I think that'd be a great idea. In the meantime, you're welcome to DM me on Instagram @ metalheadmakerchad or just blurt it out here. 😄

Звучит как переход на новый, гениальный уровень товарищ

This is really neat! I hope more people find this as interesting as I have. I can't wait to see how far you go with this! (hopefully all the way!)

@metalheadmaker it was a teensy 4.1 like yours. But this project is done in the university makerspace, so it is funded by the uni and we got a bunch of spares. We're still working on it, I haven't heard from the guy yet but it should be done soon.
That's so cool and you deserve way more subs!
Thanks for continuing to follow the project man. I'm just having fun here. If that happens, cool! If not, I'm still having a blast building stuff!

Hey,
So does the neck work?!
Are there dead frets?
Bc i wanna brint a fully printet guitar too?
Is it possible?
