Share my creations is the way I found to contribute and thank the help I've always had from the 3D printing community. Please visit my profile to see my other models: In the region of the tuners I recommend doing a 100% filling using a modifier in the slicer, I attached an image of PrusaSlicer as an example. So I believe that any printer of that size will also be able to print.ĭue to the high tension of the strings it is important to print the neck and body with a high infill and at least 6 walls (if you can put 8), otherwise the pressure will warp the ukulele My printer is 225x225mm and I was able to print on the edge of the bed. The screw I used was an M5x80mm with a nut to hold the pulleys.
The tuners I bought on Aliexpress link below: I tried to make it as simple as possible using glue and only 1 screw.
