A 3D printed single piece guitar neck?! ft. CR-30 belt printer

[@dragosbatca2954]

@@properprinting I actually thought of making an independent attachment (basically just a bit more than gluing the LED strip on the neck), but for the fully 3D printed one you need to embed it. Can't wait to see it. Congrats on the extruder!

[@mrfochs]

I think you may be best suited to print the neck separate from the fret board with ABS or ASA and then Acetone weld together. This allows you to insert the truss rob easier, and also gives you the option to print both with a little extra thickness on the "flat side" so you can sand back to flat. Also if you print the neck part like you did in this video but the fret board either flat on the bed or with the other side on the bed, you will have contradicting layer lines and warping stresses. Also, to be really "metal," you could design the 3, 5, 7, 9, 12, 15, etc fret dots as screw heads and fasten the fret board to the neck with inserts to help with clamping the two parts together.

[@properprinting]

Thanks for your suggestion! I like that idea, especially the screw heads. I think that if I fine tune that hole for the truss rod I don't need to give it all to get it in xD I like to minimize post processing

ABS is not as hard as PLA, and between the two.. PLA beats ABS for this particular use, hardness is required.

[@casanovafunkenstein5090]

@@squidcaps4308 the most important thing in this application isn't hardness, it's how well it resists bending without cracking, which could arguably have just as much to do with the way it's infilled as the material itself.

[@NORMIES_GET_OUT]

Honestly, I think the tuning stability issue is more from the cheap floating bridge than the neck. Stock strat bridges are already notorious for tuning issues, and those kit guitars come with junk hardware that just makes the problem even worse. I could see this being a lot more functional on a tele. Simpler design with a stationary bridge would remove a lot of variables. I would be super curious to see what would happen if you sent it off to get it scanned on a PLEK machine, lol.

[@properprinting]

Yes it was terrible, but the easiest guitar I could get my hands on to proof the principle. Eventually it will be nothing like a strat with waaaay better hardware ;)

[@BrunodeSouzaLino]

The tuning stability is probably the strings not being fully seated in the tuners. Since the neck is more flexible than it should be, you're bending the neck every time you fret a note.

[@properprinting]

@TriVos Ahren A year? You're optimistic xD

[@BrunodeSouzaLino]

That's the next thing I'm looking for in a 3d printer, a belt system that lets you print long things. It's bound to become popular soon with many making them.

[@knedy]

You can buy carbon rods to put on the sides of the truss rod to make it sturdier, then if you want to go further from 100% 3D print you could coat it in resin and put in some fiber reinforcement as well. It turns see-through so it just looks like a glossy finish.

[@grhmhome]

[@yecti]

Some of that rattle could be because break angle is a bit too low. I noticed that you printed the nut with the string slots printed in. You might get better performance from a blank with hand cut slots and add a string tree.

[@properprinting]

Yes, very true! Because the nut is a 7 minute print I think it should be possible to do the tweaking in CAD. To increase the break angle I can also make the head more angled or even twist it a bit at the higher strings. I like to make use of the capabilities 3D printing offers. Thanks for your suggestions!

I would print the neck and the fingerboard separately, using ABS, and then use acetone to weld them together after inserting the truss rod. You'll get better quality printing that way.

Suddenly watching things like this it makes me realize that's the only things that matters is learning how to play and don't care at all about the brand, the woods or whatever the guitar is made of. If its works and you can play on in, that's all what u need. The rest is jst the cover of the book

[@BrunodeSouzaLino]

Depeding on how you do the neck, you could forgo the whole adjustable truss rod and use a graphite rod instead. Vigier does that on their guitars. String action adjustments are made on the bridge and by changing the zero fret. As per the frets, you could've done a heated arbor press, so the fret melts the plastic as it goes it. No need to print the slots.

[@properprinting]

Thanks for the info! Interesting to make the string action adjustment on the frets itself! A heated press makes things more complicated. Printing the slots improves accuracy and heated frets don't stay in place as well as the press fitted do in my experience.

[@JoeKyser]

My company uses dual graphene impregnated carbon fiber rods and a truss rod. The rods ensures the neck is always trying to go back to flat position but still allow just enough bend to adjust the neck if needed. I considered not using a truss rod at all but we still do for a couple of reasons. Great idea though. That would help tremendously.

[@frankiechan9651]

Interesting project, great proof of concept too. I do believe that you'll need both the truss rod and carbon fibre reinforcing rods in the neck for longer term stability. I fear that the neck will end up looking like a banana and no amount of truss rod adjustment will fix it. As to how to do it - maybe take a page from Leo Fender - have 3 trenches programmed in on the back side of the neck. Insert the various rods and then cover them over with "skunk stripes" of material that are glued in. Another option is truss rod from the back, CF rods come in from the sides.

[@quaz18]

Awesome job! Might be worth it to print the neck and the fretboard separate and then add the truss rod (maybe some reinforcing carbon fiber rods too). Also might make sense to just melt the frets in like you did with the threaded inserts. Really awesome though and love the color!

[@cloudbloodmusic]

I personally would've used a carbon fiber reinforced filament, but glad to know it works without it as well. I had an idea for this too but the body be printed as well (not as one piece yet tho)

[@KarlKnowsMinecraft]

You might be able to improve the issues with flexibility by using some carbon fiber rods either side of the truss rod channel which you could insert the same way as the truss rod. this would add more rigidity and mean that the truss rod isn't doing all the work. It might also be worth finding a way to add more support to the headstock, maybe aluminium plates on each face of the headstock would add some extra strength to help with tuning stability. A volute would also be a good idea! It's very impressive that a 3D printed guitar neck is even possible at all! I look forward to seeing more.

@@lap87 Good to know, sounds like I should try it soon. ABS/ASA has significant stress-cracking issues so I'll have to test to see if it makes better springs. Mostly though, I've only recently made a heated build chamber so avoided it due to warping.

If you want more stiffness and tuning stability, as others have suggested, print the fret board and neck separately. Not only will this allow you to fit the truss rod correctly, but, you could also fit two carbon fibre rods, one running down each side of the truss rod. That would likely make it more stable than a standard maple neck without reinforcement. You could also improve the flatness more easily by using levelling files and/or levelling beams before fitting the frets to correct any print inaccuracies.

[@BrunodeSouzaLino]

I would also print the neck as a single piece with no slots. instead of pressing the frets in, just do it like you do for threaded inserts, maybe using some implement to heat the arbor press and the fret.

[@nubnubbud]

hmm, I would suggest something other than PLA personally. it's a very brittle, very sturdy material, but at the same time prone to bending and warping under long durations of stress (think old glass panes). PET is just a little more solid, heavier, and has some actual spring to it. In both cases you'll want to print it thicker, though. something like putting little holes inside the neck, along its length, or using isogrids on the inside. when in doubt, rib it. as well, if you must have structural infill, make sure it's gyroid and at least 2 paths thick. combine all of those, and even some flexible filaments become quite rigid. if you wanted an absolutely straight neck, you might have better luck printing by left and right halves, then using pins or bolts to connect the halves. if your printer is inducing a warp, printing two halves, one flipped, should give you two parts that have opposing and roughly equal internal stresses. it'll also make it easier to get that bar in.

[@properprinting]

Thanks for your suggestion! I just started with PLA to see if this would actually be possible. (the old glass panes might be a myth ;)) Creep is definitely a problem and for the next iteration I would do it differently, at least out of a different material. I think that this printer should be able to print straight and I want to keep post processing to a minimum. I think that a few tweaks and a different material would already get far :D

[@nubnubbud]

​@@properprinting ah, I see, well, not sure on glass any more, but PLA DOES warp slowly due to pressure. PET is a lot harder to print though. it has less natural warp, so that's a definite plus for you, but actually getting solid walls without boogers and gaps can be a pain. I've experienced that much. when it comes to minimizing post processing, definitely look to m5 bolts, then. the process of bolting things together is far faster and less of a pain, even if it does require external hardware. On the other hand, unlike glue, epoxy, or so on, bolts are reusable and standard, so anyone who makes the design again (including you) will always have access to the parts, or if you go to m8 size, you could reasonably print the bolts too!

The neck might be good if you give it enough support of some kind. A couple metal or carbon fiber rods running through it might make it successful.

[@Dethride69]

Granted I’m only 9:16 in however I would like to add that the function of the truss rod isn’t a simple neck straightening device it’s designed to offset the string tension on the neck so when the strings pull it into a bow you tighten truss rod to straighten the neck out that’s the primary function otherwise if it was only a matter of keeping it straight or stiff we would all just put a 3 inch titanium bar down the middle or a carbon fiber I beam I’m calling it a day with no need for adjustment. yes before everybody chimes in that there ARE guitars like that and I know about the 52 no caster custom shop that the neck is so big it doesn’t need a truss rod just throwing my two cents in great content, excellent idea and really fun to watch
