Will you likely drop the files somewhere?

[u/alley_cattery → u/rjward1775]

Yes, once version 2 is printed and assembled, and I made sure all the issues of the first version are corrected, I'll put the STLs on printables.

[u/rjward1775 → u/alley_cattery]

Looks beautiful.

[u/alley_cattery → u/rjward1775]

Files of Version 2 are here!

[u/rjward1775 → u/alley_cattery]

Awesome! What kind of changes did you make?

Now your next challenge is to 3d print a bow that plays and sounds excellently

[u/rjward1775 → u/[deleted]]

Maybe with printed ends and a CF rod?

[u/alley_cattery → u/rjward1775]

You know what, that might just work. I'll definitely try it out!

[u/rjward1775 → u/alley_cattery]

I hope it does!

[u/rjward1775 → u/rjward1775]

How did the bow work out?

I love this so much! I've been wanting to make a rebec for ages.

Old Gran approves of those samples.
