This is my third electric guitar, or at least the body freshly painted.
I've sculpted this guitar entirely in ZBrush, this time including the joints to fit together all the parts.
My concept takes inspiration by nature and in particular from animals as symbols of power: lion, shark and eagle. Air, ground and sea all together in the same piece.
This guitar had couple of improvements compared to the previous guitars, the HR Giger and the HP Lovecraft:
1) On the top left part of the body I decided to create an handle that fit in the design flow and at the same time reduce a lot of material, allowing the guitar to be much more light than the previous concepts.
2) This time everyone will be able to print this guitar on a normal desktop 3D printer: Replicator, Ultimaker, Dremel, Zortrax, etc. Not only using a Wasp machine.
3) There is also a drastic decrease in terms of printing time: around 65 hours of printing vs more than 100 hours for the previous guitars. A good 35-40% less so.
Hope yoy guys like the concept! Let me know what do you think or what you guys would like to see as well on the next versions!
Printed using Replicator 2 and Dremel. Layer height 0.2%. The central parts with 40% infill. The rest of the guitar only with 10% infill.
