Description

I've always wanted to make my own version of an acoustic 3D-printed violin, an instrument that sounds authentic without the help of electronics.

This is a full-size, fully playable acoustic violin based on tracings of a Stradivarius. It is compatible with most violin fittings (strings, bridge, pegs, tailpiece etc) but some of these fittings are also 3D printable, with the included files. The prototypes were made on a Form 2 SLA printer. The parts should work with an SLS printer and maybe(!) an FDM printer with fine nozzle and support generation.

*Form 2 Users: All of the parts are contained within the .form files, you can disregard the .stl files. As for other printers, the .stl set is complete as well, and you can ignore the .form files.

I have included instructions on how to assemble the violin.

The violin was designed parametrically on Onshape, a new cloud-based modeling program. You can view the open-source design (and create an editable copy) for free here.

If you'd like to learn more about how I designed this, please have a look at the blog post I wrote at Formlabs.com.

What a beautiful and cleverly designed 3D-printable violin! We love the way all parts fit together.

Beautiful design, clever part separation, white color is a plus, the only concern is what kind of sound comes out of it!

Looks great and I am printing it on a Form 2 now. Thanks for sharing! I noticed that the STL file for the tailpiece was not included in the package that I downloaded. Did I miss anything? Is the file available or are we to purchase this part? Thanks.

The file for the tailpiece is missing from the zip. I do know that I can use a store bought tailpiece, but the instructions suggest that 3D printing is also a possibility.

Any thoughts on infill percentage for an FDM printer? Should the walls be solid? Would the sound be affected at say 20% infill?

I am printing this with Wood on a FDM with 100% infill and 0.1mm layer height. . Hopefully strong enough to hold the force. I tried few test pieces with the settings and seems strong enough. I will update how it goes.

This is a great design. My daughter is into music, and we have been aware of the Hovalin project (http://www.hovalin.com/) for a while (are you? You should probably give them some ideas!). She has been chasing after me to print that one, but it is designed with parts that are way bigger than this. Some of them do not fit the print bed of my only printer. I will probably give this one a try.

Hi, I am using 3d printed violins as a part of my senior project and I would really like to use your model. However, the parts are outside of my current printing capabilities. Could I contact you about trying to acquire one?

willnewton:

This is a great design. I used your scroll part on another project https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2672095. on that page you will find a special support block that can be used to orient and support the scroll for FDM printing. I changed the base of the scroll to fit my needs, but the rest is original, so that support base should work for this design with proper alignment and spacing. There is a link on that page crediting you and linking back to this page. Thanks!

Can you help with the Setting in CURA? do I need a Build Plate Adhesion? Do I need to Generate Support? (lots of sanding) I saw that you said Infill should be 0%....Should I print at .1 or .06? Bed tempature? Nozel Tempature? (using pla 205-225 degrees)

Dear bchan, Hello, I'm Kim Ga Young, a student at Soonchunhyng University in South Korea. I send this message to ask your permission to use your viloin modeling file for my team project. My team project is to model and print a violin through a 3D printer and then upload the violin performance to YouTube as an educational purpose. While I was searching the 3D modeling file, I found your violin modeling file and performance video. I'm very impressed by the beautiful melody of the violin you made. It would be an honor if I could train others through your violin. I'd like you to give me your permission, concidering the good intentions. I look forward to hearing from you. Thank you.

We are working on this print and wanted to share a little of our experience. We found that the slots for anchoring the carbon rods were too small and we had to try to remove some of the material in order to make them fit in. Of course, some material is left inside which doesn't allow the rods to insert fully and so we had to cut down the rods about 1cm to get the whole body to assemble. Also, one suggestion to make the design better would be to offset the sound post from the carbon rod anchor in the center piece. Not only would that make the sound post more robust, but then the carbon rod anchor could be made as a clip in like the other side which would make the install easier.

Branded water bottles offer a practical way to stay hydrated while promoting your brand, just as a violin provides elegance and precision in music. These water bottles serve as both functional items and marketing tools, while a violin enhances musical performance with its rich, expressive sound. Both contribute to their respective fields—one through daily use and visibility, and the other by enriching cultural and artistic experiences.

Here’s a comment you can use for your acoustic 3D-printed violin project: "I've always dreamed of creating my own version of an acoustic 3D-printed violin, designed to sound authentic without relying on electronics. My goal is to build a full-size, fully playable violin based on tracings of a Stradivarius, which adds a touch of historical significance to the project. This design will be compatible with most standard violin fittings, including strings, bridges, pegs, and tailpieces. I'm excited to explore the possibility of 3D-printing some of these fittings as well, which would further enhance the customization and accessibility of the instrument. This project not only combines my love for music and technology but also allows me to experiment with innovative materials and techniques!"https://freddys-menu.com/
