I've been working on this project for awhile now and its looking like it might turn out so I figured I'd finally get around to doing a build thread on it.
I've always wanted a double cut junior but I happen to be left handed so unfortunately nice guitars, in the style you want, are not always easy to come by. There's certainly easier, maybe even better, ways to get one but I decided I was going to 3D print it. I'm fully aware that this is a total gamble and it might fall apart or sound like garbage, but I like a challenging project so off we go. Worse case scenario I'll have all of the hardware for a future wood build.
I modeled everything in Autodesk Inventor from a set of blueprints I found online. It's pretty close to a 59 jr with a few minor tweaks here and there to help it print better. Unfortunately my printer is on the smaller side so I had to break it up into several pieces.
I'm using Hatchbox wood 3D printer filament. The PLA has sawdust embedded in it and with that picks up a few wood like properties, hopefully including some tone! All of the parts were printed with a 2.4mm shell and 20% infill. This was a bit of a shot in the dark but so far seems to be about the weight/stiffness I was looking for.
Here's an in process shot to get an idea of what the inside looks like.
All of the body prints took over a day to complete and used up a decent amount of filament. Looking back I might have made a few more attempts to fix this issue in the print settings but the first major obstacle I had to overcome was warped parts. As the plastic cools it tends to shrink and especially with big flat parts like this the corners can lift.
Here is a finished part still in the printer. Its hard to see in the picture but the print layers do a pretty decent job of looking like wood grain.
I put locator holes for dowel pins in all of the body sections but with the slight warping they didn't line up well. If I were to do this again I would leave some planned sacrificial material at any joint to be able to flatten it. I super glued the pins in place and then filled all of the remaining gaps with epoxy for added strength.
Fully assembled body.

Luckily, 3D printing is additive manufacturing so covering up small issues is a little easier than with real wood.
I think there is tool for this but I've been using a small soldering iron and its been working pretty well. You can tell up close that its not the original material but once Its fully sanded and finished I think most of the issues will disappear.
For some reason the headsock section was the most challenging print. I did use regular black filament for the top and then switch to wood for the bulk of it but all of the issues were never in the switch, it was always getting it to stick or coming back to a big stringy mess of plastic. I printed the inlay as negative space and then filled it with epoxy and gold pigment.
Most other 3d printed guitars I've seen have used a wood neck. I don't have access to a good wood shop without traveling a bit so I printed my neck. Its reinforced with a steel truss rod and 2 carbon fiber rods. Between that and a wood fingerboard I'm thinking it will hold up fine.
Similar to the body section the neck pieces turned out a little less flat than I had hoped for.
Since I knew I was going to be using a wood board on top I mocked up the pieces as close to flat as possible and epoxied them together.

Very nice! How big is your printer? Are you printing solid? Just curious.
Well done, at any rate!

Thanks! I'm using a Monoprice maker select, its build plate is ~8" x 8" with ~7" of height to work with. I'm not printing it solid, that would take forever! I'm using a relatively thick shell with 20% infill. You can see a section view in the pile of failed headstocks picture to get an idea of how "hollow" it is.

Very interesting thread, coming from another 3d printer.
Also, I hate to do it myself, but glue stick or hair spray on the glass should keep the plastic down on the bed for your next 3d printed guitar

Thanks for the encouragement! I was using hair spray at the time, I think with how long the print took it burned the hairspray off or just couldn't take the constant temperature.
I've had a little more luck with masking tape on recent prints. If there is a next one I think a bigger 3d printer build would preface it

After epoxying the neck on I super glued the truss rod into place.
I got a preslotted rosewood fingerboard but it still needed to be tapered and have the holes for the inlay dots drilled. My parents have a very well equipped shop so I payed them a visit and got all of the wood working done.
I put a little bit of grease over the truss rod threads to prevent them from getting stuck and super glued the fingerboard in place.
As previously mentioned the neck pieces were also subject to some unfortunate warping. I melted in some extra filament on the top of the neck and then filled this gap with epoxy.
Here is the side I filled in. Looking back I think I should have epoxied everything before filling this side to help it flow, or at least have access to both sides. Either way it turned out pretty good and made the side top side look a lot better.
Super glued the inlay dots into place.
Inlays sanded smooth. Cant really see it with this picture but I also cleaned up the sides of the board and smoothed out the neck fretboard transition. This neck was a lot easier to shape than a square block of wood!
Hammering frets into place.
I don't have the tool to radius fretwire so I tried putting them in flat. I've had some luck with that in the past but this time didn't go quite as well. The middle sections all went in really well but basically all of the ends sprung back out a little.
To fix this I laced all of the frets with dental floss to pull them into place. I covered the board in paste wax and dropped some super glue into the ends of the slots and across the length of the frets.
This is caught up to present day. I haven't started leveling frets yet but they seemed to have stayed in place well when I cut the dental floss off.

I can't believe how much that filament looks like wood.
I actually haven't used hairspray, but have used glue stick and that works well over the length of print time. I hate doing it because I know people who don't use anything on glass plates and I have been able to get things to stick without glue stick, but if I want to guarantee it won't lift on a longer print, I use glue stick.
I have 2 printers with glass and one with PEI. On the PEI printer, I haven't had any issue (yet) with PLA lifting up.

Do the pieces have any appreciable resonance when you ring them? I'd be surprised if they did.
I would not expect a resonant guitar. I would expect a dead one. But the only way to find out is to do it and I commend you for that experimental and adventurous spirit! This is how new things are discovered.

Yes. Materials have a huge impact on voice.
Your clips just prove that you can make a guitar out of anything. It’s not a better or worse thing.

I don't think he's expecting it to sound like a 'burst.
But cool idea and way more than I could attempt!

I have no illusions of 'burst' tone, I'm guardedly optimistic it's going to sound alright though! I don't have a good equivalent piece of wood to do side by side comparison with, but it's surprisingly resonate. It has a more hollow sound than a "real" guitar when tapped but lasts about the same duration. I certainly can't make any tonal comparisons yet but when sanding it has the same "glassy ring" as a real piece of wood. Again, not expecting much but hopeful it might work out.

Had a little non negotiable help finishing up the fret work
I stained a few test pieces at the beginning of the project to see how it absorbed and to try a few thing to find what looked best.
I attempted to orient the print lines in a direction that looked like wood grain but unfortunately that wasn't possible everywhere. Between that and getting all of the parts flush it couldn't be counted on to look right. To counter this I sanded everything with some very coarse sandpaper in the direction I wanted the "grain" to be. After that I skipped a few of the coarser intermediate steps in the sanding process so the deep cuts from the first paper didn't all clean up.
Here's a decent idea of the difference between the original print lines and what my sanding process yielded.
Everything masked and ready to start staining. I used straight ColorTone red cherry stain. When I diluted it as the bottle recommended for the test piece it didn't take well. The sawdust in the filament gives it some wood qualities, but its not perfect.
That stain undiluted is some nasty stuff so in process pictures were tough. That being said, here she is!
Plastic or Mahogany?
It's banished to the basement right now to dry but I'll try and get some pictures in the sunlight before I move on.

17 real buildings printed on a 3D printer - The future on vc.ru
3D printing technologies are developing extremely rapidly and are used in various areas of human life.
42,880 views
Recently, much attention has been paid to the printing of buildings, and printed houses are increasingly appearing in recent years in different countries of the world - in the USA, Saudi Arabia, Mexico, France, Russia, the United Arab Emirates and others. I have prepared a list of existing 3D printed buildings for 2020.
What is a 3D printer for construction.
Today's 3D construction printers differ in designs and wall construction methods. The most common printers are portal construction, two- and four-support construction, on the basis of a manipulator arm or a circular design. The equipment allows you to create small architectural forms and elements of structures for their subsequent assembly on site, or allow you to print the entire building on the construction site. The height and dimensions of the printed building depend on the specifications of the printer being used.
How the printing process works.
The extruder extrudes a fast-hardening concrete mixture with various additives. Each subsequent layer is applied on top of the previous one, due to which a vertical structure is formed. The concrete layers below are thus compacted, thereby increasing their ability to withstand the next layers, and hence the entire weight of the structure. To strengthen the structure, it is reinforced, which can be both vertical and horizontal. The horizontal reinforcement belt is laid between the layers, the vertical reinforcement is installed after the composition has hardened, and then it is poured with concrete.
Advantages of 3D printing over other construction methods.
3D printer fabrication opens up great opportunities for construction and related industries. Practical application has revealed the following advantages of additive manufacturing:
- It removes the limits from the imagination of designers and architects who design buildings, as it provides possibilities that are not available with the construction methods we are used to.
- High speed of construction of buildings and structures.
- Complete process automation.
- Low power equipment.
- Significant savings compared to conventional construction methods by reducing labor and energy costs and accelerating construction time.
- The formation of waste building materials is completely eliminated.
- Minimizing human intervention in the construction process not only allows building in places inaccessible to people, but also eliminates the human factor in ordinary areas and reduces the likelihood of error.
1. June 2014. China. China's Shanghai WinSun Decoration Design Engineering Co has unveiled 3D printed houses at an industrial park in China's Jiangsu province. A total of ten houses were created, each of which cost a little more than three thousand pounds sterling.
Over the ensuing ten months, the technology was improved, and the company produced several different types of buildings for the exhibition, the tallest of which has five floors.
2. August 2014. USA. Company Totalkustom Andrey Rudenko printed the lock. The printing took a total of 2 months. The machine's printing speed was 50 cm in 8 hours. The main part of the castle, measuring 3m x 5m and 3.5m high, was printed as a single unit, and the towers were then printed separately.
3. July 2015. China. Chinese company Zhuoda assembled a two-story house in record time. The modular home, made up of six 3D printed modules, was assembled on site in less than 3 hours. Of course actually about 90% of the work was carried out in the company's workshops, and on the site they were only assembled into a single building.
4. September 2015. Philippines. Totalkustom Andrey Rudenko's company built apartments on the territory of a hotel in the Philippines, 10.
5 mx 12.5 m in size and 3 meters high. The building was built using local materials - sand and volcanic ash.
5. May 2016. UAE. Chinese company Shanghai WinSun Decoration Design Engineering Co printed prefabricated structures for the subsequent assembly of an office building in Dubai. The area of a one-story building is about 250 square meters. m.
6. March 2017. Russia. Apis Cor introduced the first 37 sq. m.. The printed house has an interesting shape, but as the participants themselves say: this is just to show the flexibility of printing technology, the shape of the buildings can also be the usual square. Compared to other construction 3D printers, this printer is very compact (4×1.6×1.5 m), weighs 2 tons, and can be easily transported to the construction site.
7. October 2017. Russia. In Yaroslavl, Spetsavia presented the first residential building in Europe and the CIS, built using construction 3D printing technology.
Construction of the house began in 2015. The box of the building was printed by a portal printer piece by piece and then assembled on the foundation in one month in December 2015. In the summer of 2017, the roof was completed and the bulk of the interior finishing work was carried out.
8. March 2018. France. Yhnova presented a five-room one-story house with an area of 95 square meters. For its construction, the engineers used a large manipulator, at the end of which an extruder for polyurethane foam is fixed. While working, he applied the foam in accordance with the 3D model of the building loaded into it. After applying the foam, the builders periodically filled the erected part with concrete, and also inserted the frames of doors and windows.
9. March 2018. USA. American Company Icon has built a prototype home in Texas to prove the technology works. The area of the building was 32 sq.m., printing was performed by a portal type 3D printer moving along rails installed on the site.
10. July 2018. Spain. Be More 3D printed a 24 m2 concrete building. For the construction, a two-support 3D printer was used, the width of which is 7 meters and the height is 5 meters.
11. September 2018. Denmark. 3D Printhuset printed a 50 square meter office in Nordhavn. The 3D printer used for printing is of the portal type and has a size of 8 x 8 x 6 meters. Print speed 2.5 meters / min. Each layer is 50-70 mm. The print material is concrete made largely from recycled tiles and sand.
12. October 2018. Italy. Crane Wasp built a building in ten days using a tricycle 3D construction printer. The house uses passive solar heating technology and natural ventilation. The composition for printing was created on the basis of waste from rice cultivation (it was 25% local soil (clay and sand), 40% straw, another 25% - from rice husks and 10% - from hydraulic lime).
November 13, 2018. Italy. Company Arup in collaboration with the architectural bureau CLS Architetti erected a building in 1 week with an area of 100 sq.
m. The building was printed in segments with subsequent assembly at the construction site.
November 14, 2018. Saudi Arabia. The Dutch company CyBe Construction has completed the construction of a building with an area of 80 sq.m. It took about a week to 3D print the necessary elements, and a little more than a day to assemble. The walls are made up of 27 printed blocks, and the parapets needed another 21 blocks to make.
15. August 2019. USA. S-Squared 3D Printers (SQ3D) showed a prototype residential building that can be built from floor to roof in just twelve hours. The house has an area of 46 m2. During the printing process, a 3D printer of a two-support design was used.
16. October 2019. UAE. Apis Cor has announced the completion of the world's largest 3D printed building. Located in Dubai, the 650 sq. meters has a building height of 95 meters and entered the Guinness Book of Records as the largest building printed directly on the construction site.
17. December 2019. Mexico. American company Icon erected two residential buildings for the non-profit organization New Story, in southeastern Mexico. The imprinted buildings have a flat roof, curved walls and an area of 46.5 square meters
As can be seen from the impressive list of completed projects, progress in the field of construction 3D printing clearly does not stand still, new techniques are constantly being introduced, various materials are being created, including from recycled raw materials, and high-tech equipment is being developed. In a short period of time, the technology has attracted the interest of a large number of enterprises that are engaged in the development of equipment, special building mixtures, libraries of structural solutions for designing buildings for 3D printing, as well as the preparation of a legislative, regulatory and regulatory framework.
I am sure that in the future the entire construction process will be able to become fully automated, without human intervention, not only when printing foundations and walls, but also when printing ceilings and roofs, automatically install utilities, doors and windows.
