Summary

This is the third iteration of my ukulele tuners. This new version has a number of improvements.

  • Only two, #2 3/8 inch screws are needed per tuner, instead of 4 required for the model 2.
  • Reduced backlash
  • A new, easier to print, tuner knob (button) is included in addition to the older style.
  • Separate tuner knobs and worm gear files are included as well as a part with knob and worm gear together to print as a single part
  • A little bit smaller volume

Like the Model 2, these are substantially stronger than my original version.

On the downside, the previous Model 2 was designed to be compatible with commercial tuners, the Grover ukulele 9NB. The Model 3 tuners no longer have the same screw spacing as the Grovers to get them down from four to two screws.

Check out my Soprano Ukulele, if you need a ukulele to go along with the tuners. It includes a new headstock designed to be compatible with the Model 3 tuners.

For each tuner you will need

  • Base
  • Cover
  • Worm gear
  • Tuner knob
  • Gear
  • Two, #2 3/8 inch wood screws

All parts were printed with 5 shells and 50% infill. I use a brim for the worm gear.
