Members odiegel Posted June 7, 2013 Members Share Posted June 7, 2013 Greetings All, Just thought I would post a link to my latest 3D printed guitar: the Steampunk. The body, with all the moving gears and pistons is printed as a single component. If you want to know more, check it out at http://www.odd.org.nz/steampunk.html I've got a little video there showing it with all the gears moving. The 3D printed guitars dont sound half bad either... I am having someone who can really play do a video of them in glorious action in the next week or two and will post that as soon as it's done. Cheers Olaf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Bucksstudent Posted June 7, 2013 Members Share Posted June 7, 2013 That's pretty awesome, Mr. One Post. Will you come back for more posts, or did you just want to show off your cool guitar? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members kayd_mon Posted June 7, 2013 Members Share Posted June 7, 2013 I didn't really think it was spam. Anyway, that looks awesome. Very cool aesthetic, and 3D printing is all the rage, it seems. I'll check out that video later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members kayd_mon Posted June 7, 2013 Members Share Posted June 7, 2013 If it's 3D printing, then it's plastic, I believe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members eBayfreak Posted June 7, 2013 Members Share Posted June 7, 2013 I think that guitar looks kinda awesome! I don't see any problems with your post; its great to see new stuff around here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members FrankenSteinberger Posted June 7, 2013 Members Share Posted June 7, 2013 I think the OP may have been chased-off which is a shame, since I had questions for him. Maybe it was a little-bit spamy, but I think the uniqueness of his item kinda offsets the spaminess. I'm not much for "Zero-Tolerance", and I think we might have more to gain from the OP sharing his knowledge--it's not just a one sided situation, where he's trying to sell us his product.If he does come back, I'd like to know about his claim that the body and all the moving components where printed as a single component. I assume this was printed in an additive process, using some sort of resin/plastic (as opposed to a subtractive process, like a CNC machine).I guess I'm having trouble understanding how the spaces around the moving sub-components could be created (in 3D, of course),during the build-up without the objects moving during the process, and screwing things-up. I could see if these sub-components were all left attached by a small bit of materiall, which was later removed to free them, but to be created completely free during the build-up process seems very difficult. I don't really know much about this sort of thing, so maybe it's a dumb question.Also, I'd like to know about any lack of stiffness from this type of body material. Thanks in advance.

Members joemonkey Posted June 7, 2013 Members Share Posted June 7, 2013 What a bunch of jackasses. Let's make it even more of a wasteland by running off newbies who aren't really peddling wares, but rather showing off innovative designs.This is the Mos Eisley of the internet.

His first post is of a guitar, which is super awesome, but the post itself was vacant. It didn't seem like he wanted to post here; he wanted to show off his guitar. If he decides to post more, we'll all welcome him with open arms outside of this thread. If he's got more cool guitars, or can show off how these things actually sound, I'd love to see them.Plus, we're jealous. I can't afford a 3D printer, and don't have the ability to draw that.

Members kayd_mon Posted June 8, 2013 Members Share Posted June 8, 2013 I checked out the pics of some of your other guitars and they look awesome! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members The Rover Posted June 8, 2013 Members Share Posted June 8, 2013 Hey wasnt one of your guitars featured in GuitarWorld? I swear I saw one that looked like the Atom on the back page.Also, did you see the guys who 3d printed a bicycle that was ridable? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Grant Harding Posted June 8, 2013 Members Share Posted June 8, 2013 Hey - if you're in NZ what's the chance of a test drive? I'm in Auckland. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members odiegel Posted June 8, 2013 Author Members Share Posted June 8, 2013 Yep. The guitars have nbeen feaured in a few publications.No probalme to test drive. Easiest is probably to pop in and see me up at Massey University in Albany. I have a few guitars and basses hanging on the wall there.CheersOlaf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members JRicoC Posted June 8, 2013 Members Share Posted June 8, 2013 I don't know or even understand what is meant by the term "3D Printing", but that's has to be the coolest guitar I've ever seen ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members warriorpoet Posted June 9, 2013 Members Share Posted June 9, 2013 This is truly amazing stuff. It reminds me of tsome of the Switch stuff, or more unconventional hybrid plastic/ wood designs we've seen, but with far more panache. Beautiful work. ...that said, New York is an intersting city, but if you really want to enjoy a visit to a US city, allow me to recommend Chicago edit: one year old has a caps lock obsession.
