- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 17 ธ.ค. 2018
- We are 3D Printing and assembling a working musical instrument, a violin, and in this video we show you step by step how can you print and assembly your very own Hovalin by HovaLabs. This is available in two versions for different sized printers, and easy step by step instructions are also available on the Hovalabs website, linked below. This is a very fun project and the Hovalin sounds AMAZING, I just need more practice.
Huge shout out to the team at HovaLabs for making these files available for free for anyone to print. #OpenSource
Thanks for watching and supporting the channel!

I’m sure that with 40 hours of practice a day, you’ll be good in no time.
I will keep at it!
unless he's Ling Ling
Lingling fans are here
If you can build it slow. You can build it fast. Lingling don't use viola.
Did twoset try this out in a video?
Print skills: Expert
Violin skills: Newb
lol good job!!
just a sound check😉
29:20 MY CHILDHOOD!
Thanks Joel! I tried to do my best, but the nerves of the camera got me shaking. Will get better in time. Thanks for watching and supporting the channel!
same here + adulthood as well
"Don't just make it, create it" I like that
I'd like to listen this violin in the hands of a pro
I think part of the issue with the sound is, as I was told, a stringed instruments tune and sound gets more refined over time. A new violin perfectly tuned will sound very different from a very old violin perfectly tuned, even if they're the same in every other way. But, I think part of that is because it's made of wood, and it's possible the wood will shift and change over time, taking slightly new shapes and evolving sounds. I don't think something made of plastic would do that, or at least do it in the same manner.
The fretboard on a violin is radiused and it is important to keep that radius when sanding......thingiverse has radius gauges that you can print to determine what radius the neck has as well as radius sanding blocks that will make the fretboard finishing so much easier.....nice job!
Most useful tip and very important when assembling and sanding up your #Hovalin. Thank you for sharing this information and for watching and supporting the channel!
Why bother on a violin like this🤷🏻♂️Sounds like 📦
Would love to see how it sounds in the hands of a skilled player, and compare their play on that directly with their own violin
Good job, sir. Nice tools. That cylinder file is extra thin and superb. 3D Printing w/ class!
This looks like fun! I just finished building an electric guitar, might have to try this next :)
Really good video mate. Well done 👏
This is a delightful video. I enjoyed watching the build, and I especially enjoyed that you even played the instrument when it was finished. I am studying the violin now, and I know how hard it is to learn to play one.
Nice print & good video, thanks for sharing
Thanks and thanks for watching, I appreciate the support. Fun project if you have the build volume.
Great video and I didn't know you were a talented musician!
Thanks! Need a lot more practice though. A lot.
Wonderful Sound Strange Shape.
Thanks for watching and supporting the channel!
Great video.. Keep up the good work
Thanks Derek, this one was a long time coming and I am glad I finally printed this.
So badass! Happy holidays :)
Thanks Daniel, hope you had an amazing holiday!
Awesome project and I loved seeing the violin come together! And the Star Wars theme was a great touch!
Thanks for watching and supporting the channel! This was on my MUST PRINT LIST for a long time and I am so glad I finally printed it. I will need a lot more practice but hope to get better in time.
For cleaning up small holes I use a set of metric drill bits. You can get a set with hex ends that you can plug into a removable bit screw driver
Excellent tip! Thanks for watching and support the channel Michael!
On the E string, there's a small plastic tube (looks green? on your string set). That's supposed to lie over the bridge to protect it so the string doesn't cut into it. (You just slid the string with the tube into the base).
hey I didnt see the link for the tuning app but great video I'm gonna try this
Sweet..!! My father in law plays violin, I am starting guitar building and wanted to build him a violin, but I also want to get a 3D printer to make some of my guitar parts.. THIS WOULD BE A GREAT PROJECT..!!!
Do it! It was so much fun to 3D print and assemble and although I have not played much, i will again and it was fun to learn a new skill like play a violin.
This is awesome, did the violin held well the strings tension?
Awesome work Jeff! Now play “The Devil Went Down To Georgia” 👍
Excellent suggestion, will add to the Playlist of songs to learn. Thanks Bill and thank for watching and supporting the channel.
This is a really simple cheapest fun way do learn the violin
I've printed one!
I wanted to say I loved your video. I wonder if with this time you already have to use the violin, do you think the project would deserve some upgrade or improvement, how would you do it today? Is it okay to use PETG filament?
Thanks and thanks for watching and supporting the channel! I would like to reprint it in PETG or Carbon Fiber, I am going to see if the creator has an update, would make a good video to revisit this.
To a violinist that “satisfying crack of plastic” is not so satisfying on a violin 😂
I would have to agree.
How much Filament did it take to print both halves? Also do you think using "SunTop 3D Carbon Fiber PLA Filament 1.75mm, Rohs Compliance" would work as well? Thanks again. Great project.
A full roll of filament; 750g or more, should be plenty, and I am sure that filament will work, I am not familiar with it thought.
@@RansomMakes Just a point out: last word is though. Thought, just sounds weird. ( sorry).
Q- How about Wood/PLA? It would stain and sand as well as look like wood.
Q- Did you print in a sound post?
Observation- I think I would have not included a bridge and used a Maple bridge like normal so It can be intonated properly
AND just used a glued on Bone nut. That way you can set the string height perfectly. That is a great looking instrument!
Interesting ideas.
It wouldn't really have the sound properties as wood. Wood is a composite material made of fibers and a binder. That would more be like a really hard partial board.
wow ! :D
hahaha starwars theme very nice work !!!!
You mentioned the tuner app that you use. Can you give a link to it?
It's easier if you do one string at a time , I would think. I would not have thought it would sound that good.
I'm Sure I Wanna Get The Hovalin
INtrEsTinG
you need sound post and base bar to have better quality sound
6:54 there is this giant bridge that connects the front to the back. You dont want support material in the violin as you wont b able to remove it. Is there any concern that the bridge may sag on those first few layers of the bridge?
I wonder if it would sound different if you used a resin printer... Or if different filaments make the violin sound different. I mean, I know for a fact that it will, but by now much? Like will using a metallic or magnetic filament sound drastically different from this one? Would using a heavier filament make it sound... Richer? I would love to see someone experiment with that
Круто!
Ya know, I cringed through a lot of the setup and terminology but at the end of the day that's actually not bad! Do you happen to have an estimate on how much that much filament costs? I'm willing to bet if you put on the Heliocores (what I recommend to all my beginner students), and give them time to break in fully that could compete against a beginner violin easily!
I really wanna make one now and let my luthier friends take a crack at it.
A 1 kg role of filament (the most common size) is around $20, depending on the brand and where you get it from. You only need about 500 g for version 4.0 (3.1 takes a little more), so the 1 kg role is plenty assuming the print doesn't fail a lot. Hatchbox filament (the one recommended by Hova Labs), Inland filament, and AmazonBasics filament are all good brands. I wouldn't get one of the super cheap roles from Amazon because they are low quality and create more problems than they are worth. Good luck!
Is it possible to print the bow😅
The sound is okay. The resonance is a bit weak, though, but the sound is clean an the timbre is nice.
I really need to fix my printer LOL I was about half way through printing the hovalin 2.0 (if that tells you how long its been down lol) I have been so busy with work and other things I haven't had the time.
Oh you should finish it, it is one of the coolest projects I have ever worked on and would print an army of these if I had the filament. Give them to schools who have no budget to afford musical instruments. Thanks for watching and for supporting the channel!
kind of a dull sound, but frankly its a cool little project
I want buy the body of one of these.
Sanding flapwheels.
I have no experience with strings but I know that with brass you want a very dense part. Why is this not the case for the hovalin?
A violin isn't a brass instrument, so why would it matter what the density of brass is?
A violin is a small instrument, and unlike brass instruments, it’s not made of a bunch of bent metal tubes, and has no bell. Due to this, the sound doesn’t escape the instrument as well, and is not as easily directed straight toward the audience. A violin needs to be constructed of a rather thin material to allow for as much room as possible for the sound to resonate properly. Basically, the more space there is inside the instrument, the louder and fuller the sound will be. If it was constructed from a denser material, there would be less space inside, resulting in a quieter sound and thinner tone.
Time to get out the old Charlie Daniels album and play some Fire On The Mountain.
Oh great idea, need to learn some new songs too. Thanks for watching and supporting the channel!
Can you print a cello
Please send this hovolin to TwoSetViolin guys and ask them to play it and rate it against a violin.
You might have been able to get around that piece breaking if you would use a Dremel tool with a burn bet you might have been able just wanted away slowly and with a little patience which at the point in time you didn't have you probably could have saved it and not broken the peace off if you had the proper tools and you would have had a perfectly fine at whole on your violin cuz that's what that is it's called an F hole on a violin I'm just letting you know that's what that it's called it's not a decoration it has a designation of at home because that's the sound frequency that responds out of the violin
Does the chamber have to be one piece? I have a small printer
I'd also be interested in whether it can be split. Loads of people have an Ender 3 which I suspect is close bit not quite large enough!
It apparently can be split take a close look at how this chap printed his. You'll get a good view nearer the end. Sounds good too. th-cam.com/video/C4dbJAqUBoY/w-d-xo.html
So,sacrilegious
what is the cost ?
Def cool print rig and a good operator. That violin sounds horrible though, I don’t care who’s playing it. Maybe a different material in the printer won’t sound like garbage, is there a bass board on that thing?
1:10 🗿
Ling ling approved
Is expensive a printer like this?
The current model is $2,695.00 US, the gMax 2.0 will be out soon and is from $3,995.00 US.
@@RansomMakesThank you for your information.
Cool subject. Not spending that much on a machine.
Thanks for watching and supporting the channel!
heheh, if i could get a dollar for every time he says “effort”
I only have 50 cents, will that be okay, lol. Thanks for watching!
Teng yu
Where's your Dremel handpiece?
Why not vibrato makes it sound better
Cries in 250mm 210mm by 210mm build volume. : (
Same here, check the modular fiddle, it has a weird shape but it fits the volume.
Again instead of going crazy and possibly breaking the tuner pegs a Dremel tool would be very nice to have you have a cut off wheel for the Dremel tool which would come right in there and cut that piece right off nice and smooth and they're not expensive you can actually get a knockoff Dremel tool for about $25 but I guess you weren't prepared it's easy to do just a little research on tools and you wouldn't have all this hassle work smarter not harder
Do you sell?
Not at this time and never anyone else's designs. Looking into print services. Thanks for the question!
@@RansomMakes if it's someone else's design, can i give you some filaments and donate to a charity of your choice in exchange for the violin without strings, and pegs?
The bridge need to be an independant part of the violin. Because it vibrate with the sound. That's the main reason you have an awful sound at the end.
copy pasted sound to his playing haha
I dOnT kNoW mAn , Fingerboard LoOkS giey To mE.
(the fingerboard looks little bit short)
The FRETboard? On a violin?? I think it's called a FINGERboard
Yeah i didn't se any frets
He goes over the fret and tremolo upgrades in his other video.
Who actually printed
Me.
Too bad the STL files probably cost a lot, which kind of defeats the purpose of 3d printing but OK.
Plastic violins? A rod down through the neck? Are these hollow where they should be? Do these use regular strings? Or are these instruments electrified? How much carbon fiber is there? Wow!
The bridge is criminal. Just print the top plate and use amthird party bridge
Just because you can make one doesn't mean it's any good. I've yet to hear a decent sounding 3d printed violin. I don't see it replacing the real McCoy any time soon.
I believe the problem with this one is, well, the acoustics arent tuned to the density and stiffness of the material, with modern tools, you might be able to better mimic the sound of a real violin by computing a 3D model with certain properties of wood and determine how much stress and strain is on the wooden violin, then you can change the properties to the PLA properties (or PETG) and try and match the stress and strain as well as weight. Though, itll probably take a lot of time, I am sure you could get it sounding pretty similar, the problem is, no one has done it and its also difficult to really calculate.
Stop creating violin shaped objects. And please, PLEASE stop calling the fingerboard a FRETBOARD! Are you blind? There are no frets on a violin fingerboard.
