3-D Printed Microtonal Guitar
🕑 Added 2017-12-28 06:19:00 +0000 UTC Dear Patrons,Finally I managed to print a portion of the fretboard on a 3D printer with the support you've given. We used polycarbonat which is really strong. I was disappointed about my channels which are smaller than the original. They told me that this is normal in 3d printing. It shrinks.
My dream is still printing the whole fretboard which costs 310 euros.
The only problem is the frets. When you print them, the quality is too low. I need opinions whether to proceed with 3d low quality plastic frets or use normal frets on the 3d printed fretboard.
All the best from sunny Istanbul.

Thanks Matthew. I haven't tried it yet. I asked for its price and It is very expensive. All the best
Hi Tolgahan...have you considered 3d printing the fret in stainless steel? ...or printing the bottom part of the plastic fret with a fret slot on top that can have a piece of normal fret wire glued in? Love your work.
Great, good wishes
