FLOW | Guitar Stand, electric & acoustic
Elegant curves. Simple yet efficient. Meet FLOW, a 3D printable stand for electric and acoustic guitars.
4 versions available:
- for acoustic/folk guitars, in either "plain" surface or "textured"
- for electric guitars, also in "plain" or "textured" finish.
It prints on its side, and needs a printing surface of at least 210 x 250mm (actually 208 x 248mm to be exact). So it fits on most printers by PRUSA, Bambu Lab and more.
The files look "full", but on the pictures it's a thin profile. 2 reasons for this:
- you can print the model "full" if you want an extra sturdy print.
- you can print it "hollow/empty" if you want, by setting in your slicer how many perimeter walls you want (5 on the pictures) and cancelling top/bottom faces and infill. Strong enough, much cooler-looking, and it cuts the printing time in half.
Happy printing!
DIMENSIONS (acoustic) | D 209 mm x W 208 mm x H 248 mm
DIMENSIONS (electric) | D 180 mm x W 208 mm x H 248 mm
PRINTING | 6.5h
3D PRINT SETTINGS The stand prints sideways. (the STL file is already oriented properly) No need for supports. You need to use a brim if you print it hollow.
Try pushing the nozzle temperature towards the top of your filament temperature recommendations if you print the "hollow" versions. The printing lines cool down quite fast as the print head cruises around in loops, and the nozzle might scratch on your print if the temperature is set too low. During my print with PLA (with recommended temperatures of 220 to 245deg), I pushed the nozzle temperature to 250deg and it sloved the scratching issue.
TO PRINT IT "HOLLOW/EMPTY": Layer height: 0.28mm/layer on the pictures (makes for a 6.5h print time) Wall line count: 5 or more (5 walls on pictures, strong enough) Infill: 0% Top layers / top shell layers: 0 (to cancel top face) Bottom layers: 0 (to cancel bottom face) Build adhesion type: 5 to 8mm brim (I used 8mm for this print) Supports: None
TO PRINT IT "FULL": Just use 2 to 3 perimeter walls, a layer height of your choice, and about 20% infill. No brim needed.
