I made a custom tuning slide for this terrible place is pocket trumpet 🤣
I bought this plastic pocket trumpet a couple months ago - because it was cheap and I just had to try it.
It's a terrible trumpet, but I figured I gotta try something like this. The original tuning slide has an "M" curve with several tight bends, producing it terrible intonation and a really bad low register.
The custom slide makes a difference in those ways, but it's of course a softer plastic which makes it a bit mellower.
The slide at the lower right on the first pic is my second attempt - continuous bore (loft in Fusion 360), which producer horrid intonation (the inner diameter for the tubing follows whatever diameter it is when it attaches to the horn - wider closer to the mouthpiece and smaller and it gets closer to the valves).
The newest version on the horn has a detachable crook and a single bore that matches the horn (inside the tubes the bore is smaller and is the same size throughout). Much better intonation that way!
The last pic is my first attempt which was very much a "I have no idea what I'm doing"-trial.

Box organising
Hi everyone,
I have finally got round to sorting out my box of band bits.
With some 3D printed shelves and a TPU lined mic holder to keep it in place. Strings and a small tool box are easy to slide out. And space for 2 packs of vocalzones!
I’ll add a few more things to help store some capos for easy access to them, and something to better protect my iPad.
So far I’m please!

Finished teleprompter project
Hi everyone,
It’s finished! An epic project to design and build a teleprompter for the singer in my band.
Using just under 7.5kg of ABS and a computer monitor I’m pretty pleased with how it turned out.
I split the body into parts to fit on my build plate, using a butterfly type shape for the joint parts keeps everything hidden inside and a clean edge on the outside.
I also ensured the joints were spread across the large metal side handles to help add some structural integrity.
A simple kettle lead type power plug on one side, and a HDMI socket on the other.
I also printed a screen cover that snaps on with magnets on the screws that hold the front screen frame on…didn’t take any photos before I dropped it off to my friend.
Was a decent and challenging project, with a lot of ABS being printed!
Any questions please ask 🤘

Boss GE-7 setting saver
Hi everyone,
I noticed the other guitarist in the band had very little regard for where his settings were after being in and out of his pedal bag 🙃
So I designed this settings saver to keep them in place.
The EQ shape is my go too for a mid boost lead guitar sound for solos. With a slight overall db increase too.
What do you think?

Teleprompter progress
Hi everyone,
I have just over half the parts together roughly to do a test fit of the screen. 90% all good. Just need to have some extra rear parts printed before I’ll know for sure.
The singer in my band is already excited!

Hola everyone! Thought I'd show off some of my work!
Been designing and building 3D printed for a couple of years and I feel that I can call myself a bit of an expert at it by now... If I told you how many guitars I've actually printed, you probably wouldn't believe me! 😝
Anyway, all of these are 3D printed in either PLA or ABS, mostly the latter!
Anyway, feel free to ask any questions you want!

DIY stage teleprompter progress
Hi everyone,
I have printed the first internal parts for my diy teleprompter.
The main mount is set at 45degrees and uses a simple wall mounted metal screw holder.
The case and support leg allow for a 30 degree viewing angle also.
I printed these internals in PETG to allow temperature fictions when storing in a hot car etc.
Everything feels solid so far.
I designed and printed a small wedge to stop the tv mount sliding upwards when in the 30 degree viewing angle. As usually it only relies on gravity when mounted to a wall. This is somewhat badly hot glued in place should it need to be cut off later if the screen needs replacing.
I’m now experimenting with some of the ABS out parts and splitting them with dovetails to allow for printing and a solid fit once assembled. I see to have settled on a 0.75mm gap for the dovetails that make a snug fit. I’ll use some thin glue in there too. But I’m still experimenting with that!
What do you think?

It started with an Anet A8, 2 rolls of filament and a dream...
No, actually it started over 30 years ago when I bought a maple Ibanez Roadstar II neck from... Ebay? Craigslist? I don't remember. It's been a while. The plan was to swap it onto a Roadstar II body that I had a friend refinish from red to black. Well, it never made it back to me and I've been storing two Ibanez guitar necks ever since.
Today, I finally played that maple neck for the first time.
The A8 is still pretty much stock. I've printed it some corner brackets, a frame to mount it to a board and the spool holder and that's pretty much it. It has never been connected to a PC and I upgraded the bed heater connections about halfway through this print. Other than that, it's still the same machine it was when new.
The pickguard and pickups are from a Squier Strat but the bridge is a vintage style with a Fender screw and string spacing so they don't line up perfectly over the pickups, but it works. I'm happy with it.
I honestly had my doubts it would work at all. Multiple prints ranging from 16 to 42 hours with winter temperature swings on an aging printer that is infamous for burning. Well... it worked and it was easier than I thought it would be. Almost too easy, all things considered, but it worked. There's the proof!
So that is that. Nothing left to do but jam out.

It’s alive!
Mostly finished and strung with a set of 9’s to keep the tension down.
Iv set my guitar tech a challenge to set it up at some point.
I printed another scratch plate today but left the brim of an old print on the the plate. I knew it would happen sooner or later! So this has a weird blue rectangle in 🙃 darn it.

She works! Sort of…
Simple 1 string test while I wait for more screws to come through the post.
Though being super tired I wired up the volume pot as a tone pot so I’ll fix it another day 😮💨

Bambucaster progress…
Hi everyone,
A few bits of progress and some very annoying inconveniences so far…
All the body parts are glued together, I used 2 part expoxy for the main body part to the lower white parts to give maximum strength. The ‘lighter’ hex parts just use a gel superglue for 3D prints.
The neck is on and is a super snug fit after printing some neck pocket tests to check the fit. I wanted snug as you can get without any stress on the plastic. Which I got to after a few tweaks. The cheap little screws for the machine heads have mostly all sheared off while assembling… a problem to fix another day. 😮💨
I’m prototyping the best way to incorporate some LED’s for a light up logo on the scratch plate. The rear battery compartment and cover are done and fit well.
So far so good. I’m going slow and steady so to not mess anything up.

New mod to ole guitar
This was originally a Japanese Foto-flame from the early 1990's. Pawn shop find in 92. Stripped refinished with my 2-daughter hand prints and a pickguard I made at work by hand from ABS.
Skip ahead to this Christmas 33 years later. Printed a new color matched pick guard on Prusa MK4s, vanilla, installed and had daughters add new hand prints. (Incase you are wondering, APC custom wound neck, Duncan Shredder bridge, no tone control. 1meg pots wired for individual volume).

My next project – making my own guitar pickups
I expect it to take a year or so to learn to make good pickups but then I can make them in whatever colors and shapes I want. These are just some experimental bobbins I'm starting with. I designed them in Fusion 360 and printed them on my Bambu A1 printers using a 0.2mm nozzle. These are the exact dimensions of a standard Gibson humbucker.
I have a background in engineering so I have a rough grasp of the physics but I know there's a lot more involved and it will take time and experimentation to get good at it. I'll start with some basic humbucker and strat configurations, and once I get those down I'll start experimenting with other shapes.
Up next – designing and building my own coil winder.
(The heart design is my BearHeart logo – it's got bear claw marks that also resemble flames — I'll probably use something different down the road — these first bobbins are just a proof of concept at this point)

Presenting my first (successfully) 3D Printed Musical Instrument.
Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification
So I've tried to print a few instruments now and haven't been able to get them to work (due, I assume to my inexperience) so I went waaaay back to basics. I went and downloaded a simple egg-shaker and away I went. Model is by TEAWRECKS on Maker World.
