I made this up and MAYBE even going to print it!
The neck cut and body cuts are not in spec though. Does anyone know those dimensions?

I'm interested in seeing how this turns out. For spec, maybe check the Template thread?

I like what you've been doing.

Nice, neck and pickup section cut to 15mm
whats the 10mm over to the side for?

scale measurements.

ok cool, this is ready for print out. Only thing is it's way larger than my office printer can handle.
I will need to print on a bigger machine in another office.
This may take a few weeks.

One more thing, is the pick cluster area 15mm as well?

What version of SW are you using? I'd round out the corners on the bridge pup route. Good stuff otherwise!

Fillet already done, just not seen in the pic. 2011 SW, but 2012 is in my desk

Thanks!

When I added the pickguard to the assembly the body didn't fitthe guard that is 100 correct. I did the body off the template listed here.

Print as in 3D print using plastic? How much would that cost to do?

Not sure to be honest, I would need to load it into the software to see.

I'm curious to see how much the plastic body would weigh

Depends if I printed it solid or sparse.
Ether way probably not half of what the basswood body weighs

What you could do is make it like those old Kays and Nationals, where it's a front piece and back piece and hollow except for a piece of wood down the middle to mount the pickups and bridge and such.

That'd be really neat.

what the fuck is this 3D printing?

If you use the template thread downloads... FedEX, Kinkco's.... all em will print that out to scale for you for a dollar. Make sure when they open the file.... click "print".... make sure they select "no scale".... if they don't it will just print to proportion of whatever size paper is chosen.

3D printing basically spits out the final part. No paper/template/cutting/routing required. You start with a solid 3D model and run it through the machine and it works its magic. *poof* Mustang
