Last crawled date: 4 years, 5 months ago
Summary
An example of 3D model generated with my Gugulele OnShape script…
Decorative headless gourd shaped design
Concert ukulele scale length
Double rectangular through-body spine
Single oval off center sound hole
'T' Bracing
Tail-end placement of tuners
4 pieces using M1.6 socket head screws
I designed this for smaller printer that can print about 200mm x 200mm x 300mm (Z axis). I have yet to print this particular model so let me know if you have succeeded in printing one.
Third Party Parts:
2x Spine/rods e.g. http://www.acpsales.com/.125-x-.325-Rectangular-Rod.html or https://dragonplate.com/ecart/product.asp?pID=749&cID=20
get a 24" long and cut it down to size, can't remember exactly...
if you don't use a rod, the neck will bow under string tension
Gotoh UPT-UBB-B Tuners e.g. http://www.theukulelesite.com/gotoh-upt-tuner-upgrade.html
its possible to use other tuners, be creative!
11x Long Screws (M1.6x10) for fretboard long holes e.g. https://www.amazon.com/M1-6x10mm-Stainless-Socket-Screws-100pcs/dp/B011BNUXNI
can't remember how many you need, just buy a bag of 100
You may need to glue the parts together! The screws are there to provide alignment and help hold parts together while waiting for the glue to cure...
