A 3D Printed Electric Ukulele.

Requires numerous non 3D printed parts.

--

The sound is pleasant, but printed in PLA the body is very compliant, and it took a while after being printed for it to settle down and remain in tune for any period of time.

--

In the two years since I built this, it has suffered from slight warping caused by the tension of the strings. If I was re-designing it, I'd probably replace the threaded rod that runs through the Ukulele with a thicker one. I'd also either glue the bridge on, using a strong glue, or integrate the bridge into the design.

Instructions

Printed on my friends RepRap Prusa i3.
