Why print just a nut or saddle when you can print a whole guitar?

That's actually pretty cool!

I'll bet Toby Walker could get something out of that guitar. Remember his video with his neighbor's toy guitar. Or the Walmart rock-stars could give it a try.

Pretty cool, but that's putting an awful lot of faith into super glue.

Interesting. I bet a person could make a pretty cool Uke with those 3D printers.
As for using super glue. Speaking as someone who used it at my job it's always best to wear gloves, a mask and keep a bottle of 100% acetone handy in case you do glue your flesh together by accident. We used the highest strength "super" glue and if you spilled it on your clothes it would burn the material.

One could. Then again, I suspect it would be cheaper to just buy one from Outdoor Uke. Plus, those are polycarb, so remarkably tough.

Here's mine:

Interesting vid. Thanks for sharing. I did find it odd that he paid $50 at GC for the tuners when you can buy them super cheap on eBay. At his $100 it doesn’t really hav a market value since there are cheaper guitars. Cool to see what all a 3D printer can do tho
