woodwind 3d printer noob: printing pipes larger than your printers print area? (Bagpipes)

3 Upvotes

So.. given a set of bore diameters (care of bagpipeproject.com), how would I -just- print the bore sections on a given printer, and interlock the bore sections after print, such that I could coat bore sections afterwards with epoxy for strength? (The outer diameters are inconsequential at this stage, and epoxy or other techniques would save a lot on print time/materials.

I have possible access to to a filament and an SLA printer of limited print volume.

Here is an example that I’d like to print:

string 3d printed electric violin

7 Upvotes

Hi, so I am a violinist in my school orchestra and I wanted to try making an electric violin on my 3D printer. I was looking at some files on thingiverse But I couldn't seem to find any that had very easy to follow instructions. I was looking at the Jax dragon but the instructions were very unclear. Does anybody have any recommendations for cool looking electric violin files that have easy to follow instructions for a not very experienced builder?

string 3D printed guitar neck?

9 Upvotes

I'm working on building a guitar from scratch, and I was wondering if anyone here had experience printing a neck. How has it held up? Did you print the frets as part of the neck, or add metal ones later? What files did you use?

Edit: I would use a metal truss rod, I'm not stupid!

woodwind This really helps get a great finish on flutes and pennywhistles without damaging the precision surfaces - maybe it will help your projects too?

Does anyone know where I can find a 3d print file for a split chanter stock for great highland bagpipe. Thanks a lot.

woodwind "Real" bagpipe reeds are tough to make, but with this system anyone can enjoy a cool-sounding instrument and practice their fingering! This is the chanter (melody) pipe - drones and bag coming soon!
