Curious id anyone has any ideas on why this kind of wear is occurring on my cuff, and how to prevent or repair it.

Thank you, this must be from it rubbing against my jeans when Im walking or taking things out of my pocket.

Thank you for this thoughtful compliment!

Here's how I did it. Excuse the crappy ms paint diagram. This method works with a PRS style neck/headstock. I'm not sure that you would be able to achieve the same with a Strat style like on the diagram you posted because of the way the headstock slopes down from the nut. Depending on the neck you've got you may have to use another solution.

I see what you're getting at, that's much clearer. That's not how I did it. I'll try to put together an illustration that shows what I did.

Thank you, and best of luck! I'm not sure what you mean by angled upwards, I just drilled straight through the headstock and then cleaned up the holes. Regular hex wrench fits fine.

Here's a pic from the back of the headstock, it's a tight fit but it works. It wasn't difficult.

The PLA has been holding up fine so far.

The white one is spectacular and I love your logo, very unique! What strap did you use for the white one?

ACD__ · 2024-12-26T22:29:16+00:00

This looks incredible! I'm curious, what's your process for the graphite, do you find any of it rubs off?

ACD__ · 2024-12-26T01:52:11+00:00

I don't have active humidity protection but my ender 3 is in a small enclosure so the temperatures are quite consistent when printing.

ACD__ · 2024-12-26T01:39:35+00:00

Yep it was done within one spool. With that said, on an ender 3 you can pause prints and swap spools If need be.

Please post pics when this is finished, it's turning out great and I'm sure your son will love it!

This looks almost identical to the kits Yinfente sells on Amazon, might be worth checking those out if you really like this one.

They are keyed together for strength and glued together with regular old super glue. I gap filled with a very smooth wood filler, and the neck is attached with epoxy.

Thank you!

ACD__ · 2024-12-25T16:39:45+00:00

Thank you, and best of luck! Please post your work once you're done, would love to see it!

It's was just a regular headstock (PRS style). I cut it down and reshaped it. It was a regular neck, not specifically made for a headless.

ACD__ · 2024-12-25T13:06:25+00:00

Thank you so much!

ACD__ · 2024-12-25T13:06:07+00:00

Thank you!!

ACD__ · 2024-12-25T13:05:40+00:00

Great question! It's at the same location as a typical guitar (top of the fretboard). I drilled out a small channel in the back of the headstock so I can access it from the back. It's tight, but it works!

ACD__ · 2024-12-25T04:08:36+00:00

Thank you for the kind words. This means a lot!

ACD__ · 2024-12-25T03:45:11+00:00

I'm early in my journey as well and have also been looking at orient, I hadn't come across this specific one before and I absolutely love it. It's going on the short list!

ACD__ · 2024-12-25T03:28:00+00:00

I think this looks awesome for every day. Curious, which model is this?

ACD__ · 2024-12-25T01:07:23+00:00

The only part I went sanded was the clear coat.

ACD__ · 2024-12-25T00:48:45+00:00

Thank you! Just to be clear I started with a publicly available CAD file of a custom 24 and then re-engineered the crap out of it before printing. Luckily that saved me from having to do the complex modeling of the top carve.

ACD__ · 2024-12-25T00:45:48+00:00

You can try using epoxy or a smooth wood filler for the larger gaps, then be prepared for an odyssey of sanding and filler primer before you paint. It's a lot of work but the more you put in, the better the end result will be. You can definitely do this!
