Description

UPDATE 25.12.2025: As new Bambu parts are available I added one of the springs. I havn't tested it yet as I do not own it but it should match perfectly:

Hi guys,

this is my self-closing / opening guitar holder. Except the screws all parts are printed :) You need 4 x M3 Screw (5mm).

Update 25.12.2025: I also added the spring to the part list. You can still print it but for the long term I would recommend the other one.

ATTENTION:

DO NOT USE MATT / SILK PLA FOR THE WALLMOUNT AS THIS WOULD NOT HOLD YOUR GUITAR FOR THE LONG TERM!!! I'M NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY DAMAGE WHEN YOU CHOOSE ANOTHER MATERIAL AS SPECIFIED HERE! IN GENERAL I WOULD RECOMMEND CF-FILAMENTS FOR THE WALLMOUNT.

EDIT (13.03.2025, 07:00 Germany): I created another Wallmount V2 profile which is also printable in PLA and should hold your guitar for the long term. The guitar holder can be also printed in other materials. I still do NOT recommend to use MATT or SILK PLA!

Assembly:

Troubleshooting (when the mechanism doesn't move):

Fasten the screws completely and then turn them back a little. The screws are used as axis and not for fastening the lockers ;)
Make sure that the supports from the following part are completely cleaned! Otherwise the lockers will not rotate properly and may get stuck.

Enjoy my new guitar holder and feel free to boost me any time ;)

BR & happy printing!

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ didn't print on a bambu printer. But model went together and printed perfectly. to add strength to the V1 mount I cut a little of the base off in the slicer to sit flat. Printing in the horizontal orientation make it much stronger. I also remixed the internal mechanism to accommodate a 9.5mm steel spring.

@Basti85

thank you very much 🤗 I recently added the bambu-spring as an optional part replacing the printed one. have fun with your new guitar holder 🙌

Hi there. I bought the exact M3 x 5mm screws you recommend. These screws worked fine to attach the bottom cover plate, but were too short to attach the locking arms. Am I doing something wrong?

The designer has replied

@Basti85

those should work. have you used my profile or a different one? make sure you cleaned all parts properly to ensure that the front parts mount properly onto the arm

@user_400708345

Replying to @Basti85 :

Hi there. I am positive that I have used your profile. I went in with a sharp pick to clean up the inside of the bore on the locking arms, but there is no more material to remove. I again took my caliper and measured the screws and they are the exact m3 x 5mm screws you recommend. I might order M3 x 10mm screws to try them on the locking arms. It seems like I am the only person who has mentioned this problem so far, but I just can't get the locking arm screws to "catch" the moving assembly, never mind tighten and back them off a bit as recommended.

@Basti85

Replying to @user_400708345 :

..I think I have it.. you may need to remove the supports from the front ;) maybe those are not completely cleaned?! the bottom is only 2.5mm so you should still have another 2.5mm going into the arm. but you need to insert the arms completely in the parts (that's why I say they need to be cleaned in the description). I think there is still to much material on your prints.

@burachi

Have to say, terrible design. It is not working properly with the spring? print ( i don't know how you think you can print a string like this) given. Lets say it should be used with metal spring, NOTE THAT AT THE START because this design doesn't work without it. Other issue - it is not holding the gear at all, you can manually adjust it by just touching. Overall, waste of filament.

The designer has replied

@Basti85

this has a overall voting of 4.7. so yes - the spring is not optimal but this is also mentioned in the description. I don't know y you have that problems but for me it seems it's related to your filament and not to the model. ..all the other people voted with 4/5 stars can't be wrong

@burachi

Can I dislike your design just because I dislike it? It is not about my filament, it is about print you provided doesn't work without modifications. Provided spring doesn't work as you know, instead of fixing or excluding from print, you are defending it by saying how other people liked it. Gears don't work properly (as indicated in your Youtube video comment) due to tolerances. Instead of fixing the errors or removing them (like removing the spring itself) you are relying on other people's comment. Do you think it is the best design and there is no improvement?

(Edited)

@Basti85

Replying to @burachi :

if the tolerances do not work for you then you may have to re-calibrate your printer. can you imagine how many prototypes I printed for this to ensure that the profile will work? almost 2kg of filament. you have no clue about what I'm doing BEFORE I upload a profile! the sligtest deviations like another filament, another printer, a different nozzle all matters. at least for the gears! it's is so easy to complain.. ..and if you read through all my models and comments I almost answer questions and give support immediately. ..but YOU are just rude and do not even think about a problem on your side. do me a favour - do no more print any of my models and keep away..

worked fairly well. had to print the spring separately with some supports to get an reasonable quality. the parts are well designed and fit together nicely. needs a bit more resistance so I will likely buy a spring to replace the printed one.

The designer has replied

@Basti85

thank you very much for the boost 🤗 yes - like I wrote in the description -> for long term usage buy the spring added in the BOM. the spring wears out after a while 🙃

@kidklassic

Could it hold a bass?

The designer has replied

@Basti85

depends on the filament. you could print the stronger profile for the wall holder and use more walls & infill with e.g. cf filament. it should work but I can not give any warranty

@kidklassic

Great! Thanks for designing this! :)

Other Issues:The spring is not very good, will try with a real one

The profile uploader has replied

@Basti85

the spring depends on the material.. ..but a 3 start vote just because you do not like the spring is not very fair..

(Edited)

@laurent.hartman

Replying to @Basti85 :

Sorry for the 3 stars, but for some reason, makerworld thinks I did not finish the print even if I did, and you can't put a 4 or 5 star review if not finished (that's weird). I printed in PETG

@laurent.hartman

Replying to @laurent.hartman :

And to be fair, if the spring doesn't work, the holder doesn't open, so kindda not practical...

@user_3283243903

Guys, please use PETG because PLA is not strong enough for Earths gravity. (so I now have a hole in my guitar😭😭😭.)

The designer has replied

@Basti85

I'm sorry for this BUT THIS IS WRITTEN IN THE DESCRIPTION!!!!

Guitar Holder [with Wallmount V1 PETG]

Great idea but with a couple of issues my end. Still marking this 4 star due to complex design and possibility of print issues on my end being a factor - being a designer myself I understand how one or two people can have issues where many others don't! - Tolerances were a little tight with the inner part (with arms) rubbing on the outer shell at the large radius - I had to sand down a little - Spring was too weak in PETG, but I know you recommend a stiffer material (I swapped for metal in the end) - Gears on the end flaps kept becoming disengaged and jumping teeth, leading to the "rest" position changing every few mounts/dismounts of the guitar. I couldn't really solve this one in the end but again could be a tolerance issue after sanding the inner part.

The profile uploader has replied

@Basti85

thank you very much for your detailed review. hmmm - sanding. seems really like you have a tolerance issue. have you tried to calibrate your printer? which bambu are you using? I really printed a lot of prototypes for that model to almost hit the perfect setup. the smallest deviations really matter 🙈
