Mini Chugger V2 (3D Printed)

New improved version! Can make a righty or lefty with one set of parts.

The pickup and strap jacks can be switched. Disc piezo is embedded in the 2-part bridge (wires slide through the slots). Chord letters on the neck can be put on either side. A carbon fiber rod provides the support through the neck and body. 15.25" scale length, standard GD tuning (not an octave higher), and should fit in a soprano uke gig bag. E and A ball end classical guitar strings. Quiet unplugged and sounds pretty good plugged in.

As always there is still room for improvement, but these changes fix the strings being too close to the body and the top being super sensitive to any touches when plugged in.

  • I would like to take credit for the beveled dovetail joint BrianQ, but the feature is part of my slicing software that enables me to handle designs that are bigger than my print volume. It works really well. I join the two pieces together and then slide the carbon fiber rod through them to anchor the joint. Works way better than the screws I have used in the past.

  • Kool how the neck joins the headstock!!
