Custom Pickguard I made....

I did this from scratch in SolidWorks CAD.
I then used a 3D Dimension printer to make it.
I need to go back and make a few changes, but it's almost there!

Very cool man. What model printer?

Cool, I assume it prints ABS? Is it very brittle?

Nope, it is strong! It would be hard to fold in half

It's ABS Plus

Interesting. I'm kinda excited to think in a decade we'll be doing more of our own custom guards using 3D printers. When you get it finalized, please post the results with close up pics?

WOW. Bigger pics! Can it do knobs too?

The printer does whatever I design.
I could make them like I did with the guard and pickup covers

Still have to make the spot in the body for the bucker

All done, waiting on a new pickup, this one isn't wired in
