King V guitar body
Print Profile(1)
Description
This is still a work in progress, but at this point it I think its good enough to share and get some feedback. The model is meant for the H class of bambu printers or other large printers. The one piece model that is not on a build plate can be used to print on X/P/A(non mini) printers as the main body piece is too big for those printers and different cut plane will be required. The cut plane will have to be just past the bridge pick up.
This does have a big bill of materials and assembly required. Soldering iron required and the top/bottom/walls/infill are set in the print profile to balance the guitar and give strength to combat string tension. Shimming the neck with paper is also recommend on setup. I did print this in PETG, fitment in other filaments might vary. This model is also meant for no glue (other than the battery box) assembly with all parts being a tight fit. Inspect all dove tails prior to assembly for any remaining support that could cause them to bind.
The model is cut on to the four plates as I've tested it, the whole body is provided if you want to cut it up differently. The neck used is off of a Jackson Dinky (I believe bought the neck used separtley), and needs to be put in butt end first then angled down into the body as it is a tapered fit. All hardware is ordered off of amazon, and uses M3 screws and heat set inserts.
The way I put the body together is sliding each plates halves together first, then sliding each wing down with a small wooden block in one of the hexagons taped with a hammer. I've been planning to make a TPU/PETG insert so its a printable option, but that is still on the to do list. And lastly install the back cover as the wings also have the recess for it and would otherwise not side on. And also locks the wings in place once the back cover is on. Also the screw for the back cover that's above the output jack will need to be very short, so it doesn't contact the jack. And the battery box is super glued into the back cover with the terminal side of cut open to allow the connector to fit. Also do not string till the body is completely assembled as the interlocking dove tails provide strength.
Bill of Materials:
Super glue and soldering iron with heat set insert tips.
Jackson 24 fret neck 25.5" scale (what the neck joint is modeled for, if you have a different neck try it but no guarantees.
