Description

Welcome back to the Enchantment Under the Sea dance. Marty McFly plays this ES-345 guitar in the movie. I have always been a fan of this movie since I was a kid. And naturally, because of the guitar collection I am creating on Makerworld. I just had to include this beauty in the mix. Check out some of my other guitars in this collection link below. Start printing your very own mini guitar collection today!

I hope you have a great time printing and assembling this amazing guitar. I print this model vertically to best capture the beautiful shape of the guitar. I also add fishing line to make the guitar strings. I simply cut a piece that is about 2 inches longer than the guitar. I make a loose knot and wrap it around a peg on the headstock. Then I guide it

Please help boost this model :)

For best results. I recommend using a High Flow nozzle (I use 0.4mm HF). And a supertack cool build plate from Bambu or Biqu. These are what I recommend for best adhesion and best speed.

I have made a general video describing my many techniques of making these guitar models. I use mostly just super glue, flat file, sand paper and a select size of drill bits to build them. And I use 0.25mm fishing line to add the strings to the model. I go over this in fine detail, just follow the link below for more:

Wow! I love your collection! I am proud that my model could make it part of it. Just curious how much did you reduce the size? It still came out great!

Replying to @WallyMocha :

25%. I would have loved to have it full size but I don’t think it would have fully fit where I needed to place it.

@WallyMocha

Replying to @capnhowyoudo :

Thats cool! glad to know the details still come out 25% smaller. Did you use a 0.2 nozzle? I struggle to get the fine details with 0.4 at the full scale. Thanks for sharing your pictures. If you have a boost you can spare, I hope you wouldnt mind boosting my model please. :)

@dino_lab

is this how you stick it on

@WallyMocha

Great Scott! Marty, he has come up with a new method of applying the guitar binding! LoL. That is perhaps a good way to help secure it before adding glue. I know it's tricky to add the binding but it can be done. I will have a little tray on my desk that I use to pour a couple of drops of super glue onto. With a pointy skewer I dab the pointy tip into the glue and will dab it along the edge where the binding goes. I start with one corner and make my way around the body. Using the tape will be handy as you can have the binding piece already aligned, and just dab the skewer glue tip along the edge. I basically make it up as I go as I am used to building scale models.

@dino_lab

how do I make it

The designer has replied

@WallyMocha

Hi. I believe the first step is to print the pieces.

@WallyMocha

I hope that answers your question. I mostly just glue everything up and just add strings at the end using old fishing line. I just carefully add super glue where I need it. Sometimes you need drill bits to enlarge the holes to make things fit better. Its a bit of trial and error, but its basic model building.

your other Gibson ES model is fantastic - just wanted to feed the algorithm for this model which looks fantastic as well! This one is on my project to do list (preemptive boost!)

@WallyMocha

Thank you so much for the kind words and your support! I hope you have a great day my friend.
