This week was all about getting to that all important milestone on our new guitar design: getting the strings on and finding out if we have an instrument or not.

My Älgen build finally starts to become a guitar in my eyes, fun with 3D prints, and so so much sanding.

We hit an epic milestone for the part-3D printed guitar design, and I walk through some of the small details as I refine the CAD model for my second build.

One of the advantages of a 3D printer is you can make your own tools. I recently forgot to bring my fretboard radius gauge set into the workshop, so I quickly whipped up a design in Autodesk Fusion 360, which is parametrisable so I can quickly change the design to the desired radius, and then printed out the gauge I needed - I was back up and running in less than half an hour! To save you the effort of the design stage I've published the designs for you to use!
