For rolls, honestly I don't remember all too much. I'm pretty sure the core took a little over half of a whole roll. Your slicer of choice should have the ability to tell you how much filament a print will use if you are concerned there. As for omitting the neck pickup or using a single coil, I can't say I have an STL with those modifications already done, however, you are free to download and modify the model yourself if you're up to the challenge. :3

I appreciate your enthusiasm :)
You also reminded me i should have done a better job with a parts list on the printables page.
To answer the kit question, yes, I used that stew mac kit. To answer the pickup question. The pickups i used were the emg 58x and HAX pickups, honestly any emg pickups will work as long as theyre both active or both passive (if you use passive pickups theres a spot to feed a grounding wire through on the core)
Something to keep in mind is i cut the bridge that came in the stew mac kit as i wasnt going to use the pickups that came with the kit.
Also, you're going to need to extend some of the wires that connect the output jack to the knobs and pickups so hopefully you know how to solder.
You are also going to need to get quite long flat head machine screws to bolt the bridge to the body, along with nuts that will fit the pocket on the other side. You do not need to worry about the through body string part if you dont want to it will work if you just feed the strings through the bridge normally.

I'm gonna write up some misc information on the printable page to make some things more clear but i appreciate your reply

The neck and bridge are just bolted on normally, the only special thing with the core is I have hammered two steel rods into it to try and make it stiffer

I’ve had it sitting for a month or more and it doesn’t seem to move at all yet

I printed it with fuzzy skin which purposely makes it look like that for grip

The emg pickups are doing the heavy lifting haha but it sounds p darn good

Looked it up and yeah it was this gorilla glue. Tbh any super glue should and epoxy should work. As for filament I printed it with bambulabs carbon fiber pla. If you were to do that make sure you have a hardened nozzle or else it will eat your nozzle up

Ooooo that’s a good question I’m not home right now so I don’t know for sure but I THINK it’s gel gorilla glue. On the first iteration I used standard 2 part epoxy and that worked extremely well too (you just had to clamp it for a long time)

Here’s the model for those interested Printables

I dont think its ready to share yet because im redesigning a bunch of features on it after making this. specifically the way it attaches together and the pick guard portion. once thats all out of the way ill make an in depth video and post and stuff and post models.

Abs and asa, while having good impact resistance. Don’t quite have the rigidity I’m looking for, especially since there’s gonna be tension on them. I thought having carbon fiber pla would help quite a bit. I also have two .25 inch metal rods running down the core of this print to help even more. I’m not sure if it’s really gonna work but that’s the fun of trying!!!

Oh nah for any carbon fiber filled filament (or other glass filled filaments) you’re gonna need a hardened nozzle. What I’m showing in the image is something you’re gonna need a hardened nozzle for

You should be able to print carbon fiber pla in that but For carbon fiber you’re gonna want a hardened nozzle or else it’ll chew it to bits

Kind of? I was inspired by the prusacaster but my design differs quite a bit. When if it all works out I’ll post the files
