Embedded Tuners

After printing out one of @jwnicholson ‘s ukes - I was determined to embark on my own world of instrument creation. While his V3 Tuners are fantasic (and if you can use them directly, please do!) I wanted a cleaner look, and to fit more tuners into less space. I didn’t want to shrink the parts, and thus lose strength, so I chose instead to embed them into into other parts.

This took me down a whole different path, but ultimately, For my Oudelele, I needed a variety of lengths of tuner pegs, tuner pins, and even mirrored versions. I couldn't see a way fo getting what I needed out of the original model directly, so I remixed it to give me various lengths. If you need any others, let me know and it's' not too difficult from there. 

I also included various STL's for the void required to house the tuners inside another part - in various configurations. Again - it's not to complicated for other variations. I included a thin cutting plane so you can quote literally do the embedding in your slicer software if required.

Print profile is at High Quality (0.08mm layers), but I have printed successfully at standard layer heights just fine. The taller ones can be subject to fall over though, so a decent brim is recommended!
