The violin appearance of wooden wire 3D printing can be messy
3D printing technology brings us a lot of wonderful works, including a 3D printed violin recently produced by maker Andrew Murrell. It is understood that his instrument is based on the design of the open source 3D printed violin Hovalin. The open source violin Hovalin was introduced before, and Murrell's real difference is that it is printed in 3D with wooden wire, which makes it look like a real wooden violin after it is finished. According to Murrell, this 3D printing project used ROBO3D wood PLA, which consists of 60% PLA and 40% sawdust. The reason for choosing this material is mainly because he believes that the PLA with sawdust can make the violin closer to the wood and the sound is better. Another reason is that he believes that woody PLA is environmentally friendly and sustainable. From the posted photos, it seems that Murrell's idea has been verified. The surface of the violin he produced was closer to natural wood. Of course, the post-processing in the middle is also indispensable. Murrell sanded, dyed, and varnished the 3D printed violin, and finally brushed two layers of shellac to make it look pretty. Obviously, this is not the first time Murrell has played 3D printing. He started playing 3D printers in 2012, when he assembled a RepRap Prussa Mendel, most of which came from eBay. And he started to learn violin from the fourth grade to high school. So with the ready-made open source Hovalin 3D printed violin design, it is a logical thing for him to print his own violin in 3D. So what is the performance of this 3D printed violin? According to Murrell, the instrument "sounds good in terms of its plastic material!" he continued. "There is absolutely no sound of a wooden violin, but the sound is warmer than the Holalin violin made of pure PLA. (He used to print a gift to his mother in 3D.) "At the beginning I encountered some problems, its A and E strings creaked, and I solved this problem by rewinding. However, the tuner pulls the angle of the string a bit further, causing it to hit the string pillow at the end of the fingerboard. †In fact, this is the third 3D printed violin made by Murrell. In addition to being given to the mother, he first made an FF-Fiddle, which is also an open source 3D printing violin. I have also reported.
