The file 'The Annelise Violin (Electric) 3D Printer Model' is (stl,STL) file type, size is 2.8MB.
I wanted to create a violin that reminded me of the old steel bridges found on the way to New Orleans, on the bayou roads. I also wanted to give the fingerboard a lighter, classical look. These features required me to add some breakaway supports, so you'll need your exacto.
Due to popular demand, my violins are now available assembled and customizable for you on Etsy as well: https://www.etsy.com/listing/687390452/the-jax-dragon-violin
This particular print takes advantage of a lot of mid-print color changes. Which require either a lot of watching or some .gcode editing (found online or ask me and I can post later). I hope you like it.
This design uses a standard violin bridge, allows for a standard shoulder rest and allows for a traditional style 3D printed chin rest (included and set up for screw on brackets).
If you prefer, I've also included blank pieces of the design in case you want to remix or go with the clean look.
Since the lower bout and waist of the violin can't be printed as one piece on a standard 8" printer, the waist parts screw on (so they can be replaced if broken or left out all together if you choose). You will likely have to print the lower bout at 45º in order to fit, with very little brim as it makes it too large to fit. Either way I can't wait to see what you make of it.

Oh and the parts are interchangeable with my other violins...

A big shout out to Stepan Ignatovich for the inspiration and original remix source of the neck design/concept.
UPDATE: Added a single piece version of the upper and middle neck (upon request) in case you have a printer bed big enough to print it. Avoids having a seam on the fingerboard.
