Quick PC Build Update

So finally got this PC built.

Still working out all the kinks.

The Trident Z RGB lighting software is still in beta and doesn't work all the time.

I'll probably make a YouTube video once I get it all sorted out.

All Guitar Parts Printed

Quick update for a week of printing

Printed the upper part of the guitar

Ran into a small problem of my cooling fanduct getting warped and hitting the print, so I just removed it.

I'll have to find a better design for a fanduct.

 Here's 3 of the parts put together.

 Printing the final part.

This part took 38hours to print.

 It turned out pretty good.

I was nervous the whole time the print would fail.

Used about half a spool of filament on this part.

 Now to remove all the supports.

 And all the parts put together.

I'll be taking it to a guitar shop tomorrow to make sure the neck and bridge get mounted straight.

2 parts down, 3 to go

The guitar lower part finished in 14hours 45mins, and it turned out pretty good.

Here is the part after all the supports have been removed.

And the two pieces I have completed so far.

I moved my printer to a new location, and put it in a cheap temporary enclosure.

I then started the 35hour print of the main guitar center piece.

This is the part that the neck bolts on to, and holds all the tension from the strings.  This is the key part of the guitar.

12 hours into the print, and it's starting to take shape.

3D Printed Guitar Project

So I started a rather ambitious 3D printed guitar project.

I decided to make this guitar after seeing it on Thiniverse

I went to my local Music Go Round and picked up a used guitar to donate it's neck.

I found a Lotus guitar

With the Lotus neck I decided to call this the Black Lotus guitar.

I first printed the Backplate.

And now I just started on part of the body, it's going to be a 15hr print for this part.

I'll keep posting updates.
