3D Printed Guitar Warrior

⚡️ Hair Metal Meets 3D Printing ⚡️

Normally, all my files live over on Cults3D as premium, paid models. But to thank all of you for the support and shredding love, I’ve been dropping some free guitars here on MakerWorld.

First came the Hopecaster (shaped like a cancer ribbon to help raise awareness).
Then the Jigsaw Stratocaster.
And now, rounding out the lineup, the unapologetically 80s Warrior.

Pointy, loud, and ready to melt faces straight from your printer bed.

Oh, and if you need further proof… 

🛠 Technical Specs

🎸 Hardware Recommendations

• Bridge: Wilkinson Floyd Rose Trem (74mm post spacing) But just about any Floyd Rose Tremolo will fit. I've allowed enough clearance for just about variant I could find.

• Pickups: Ceramic, Alnico V, high-output screamers… your call. For something well-rounded:

• Glue (seriously, this stuff is magic):

  Straightforward assembly: print → glue → clamp → shred

🖨 Print Settings

• Walls: 2.4mm thick (4 walls @ 0.6mm nozzle, 6 walls @ 0.4mm)
• Top/Bottom Layers: 2.4mm thick (12 layers @ 0.2mm, or 8 layers @ 0.3mm)
• Infill: 25% Gyroid
• Pro Tip #1: Print parts upside-down to capture the textured bed surface
• Pro Tip #2: For best strength, print one part at a time.
  I know you’re eager to shred, but patience = durability.
• Pro Tip #3: If you absolutely must print multiple parts on one plate, make sure to set Print Sequence → By Object instead of “By Layer.” Otherwise, you’ll end up with weak joins instead of rock-solid tone.

🎤 Final Words

This is a plastic hair-metal machine. Sharp enough to poke an eye out, pointy enough to summon the ghost of ’87 Sunset Strip, and free for anyone who dares to print it.

👉 If you like what you see, don’t forget to give this project a like and a boost — it helps more makers discover it and keeps the plastic riffs flowing!
