Hey Everyone!

I really loved the design of the Prusacaster done by Mikolas Zuza of the Prusa team, but the kit they linked was very expensive to ship to the US. I remodeled my own version based off this amazon DIY Stratocaster Kit. All the parts are included in the kit and you only need to print the 5 parts.

Printer: Bambu Lab P1P w/ .4mm hardened steel nozzle

Filament: Bambu PLA-CF and Elegoo PLA+

** I only used the PLA-CF because I had it from the 1 year anniversary gift, I've seen people do similar designs out of normal PLA and have no issues

Print Settings:

Body (very structural and needs to be much stronger)

-.2mm layer height

-8 Wall Loops

-5 Top and Bottom Shell Layers

-25% Gyroid infill

-Normal(auto) Support

-.2 mm Top and Bottom Z distance for support (under Advanced)

-Mouse Ear Brim

All other parts

-.2mm layer height

-3 Wall Loops

-3 Top and Bottom Shell Layers

-10% Gyroid infill

-Normal(auto) Support

-.2 mm Top and Bottom Z distance for support (under Advanced)

-Mouse Ear Brim

Some of the parts are close to maxing out the build plate, but just keep rotating the parts. They all fit on a 256x256 mm build plate.

Assembly:

After sanding the faces the would be glued together with a fine grit sandpaper, I glued the parts together using standard Superglue. I recommend aligning all the parts with the front flush to a flat surface before gluing (learn from my mistakes). For the screws that hold the pick guard and cable connector on, I drilled pilot holes that aligned with the existing holes on the parts and screwed them on. For the vast majority of the assembly I just followed the guide that was provided in the kit.

Results:

Overall, I am happy with the results I got! It plays as you would expect any non-3D printed guitar to play. It is by no means an amazing guitar, but was a very fun build and really rewarding to play it afterwards! I have included the STL's and STEP files if you are looking to do any modifications to the design.
