The file 'Wall Mount For Violin/viola And Bow 3D Printer Model' is (stl) file type, size is 733.8KB.
This is a wall mount for a viola or violin, and bow. I already had a mount for my guitar and my wife thought it would be nice to mount her viola in a similar way. This is the fourth iteration of my design and it's working perfectly!
Because it's printed in PLA it's a bit slippery so the viola can slide off quite easily. One way to solve this is to glue a small patch of anti-slip material on the spot where the mount and viola meet. Another way, what we ended up doing, is putting a nice rubber band over the two extremities of the mount. This has been working fine for quite a while now.
The model is more than strong enough, I tried to break some early prints and it took quite some force. And these were printed with 20% infill, the final version was printed with 30% infill just to be sure. Print with supports by the way, just for the shoulders of the "u" shape coming out of the base.
Let me know if you like the model, it's my first "thing" here on Thingiverse and also my first "complicated" model in Fusion360 so I'm happy with your feedback!
