Open Source Guitar Kit With 3-D Printed Body
Zoybar is the similar to Meccano for music. It’s an open-source guitar kit that you put together yourself, as well as a modular tools can be arranged in most combinations to make differently shaped instruments. The pack can be bought in either drum or six-string configurations, but a twist is that you can serve customize the designs yourself.
The guitar kits have been protected underneath a Creative Commons, and the CAD files can be downloaded and openly tweaked in the open source 3-D program, Blender. Here we see the Zoybar Tor, the fretless six-string whose physique is 3-D printed to give pretty most the minimum volume of element to work. There’s the dip to rest upon your leg, an arch during the tip on that you can rest your arm and, good, that’s about it.
The Zoybar kits ship with the fretless neck, tuning gears, a humbucker pickup (it looks like an aged PAF pickup) plus tools to have a fundamental body, and some bolts as well as Allen wrenches to hold it all together. Prices begin during $670, as well as go up depending upon shipping options.
So how does the 3-D printed guitar tune? Check it out:
