The Plastiaxe I

The Plastiaxe I is based upon the 3D printed design at:

For the most part, it'll be a direct copy with a couple of minor adjustments.

The single coils will be salvaged from my old Samick and fitted with custom 3D printed covers in black, and some black knobs.

I'll fill the cavity under the bridge as I'll use a chrome donor hardtail from the Jurassicaster kit instead of a tremolo. I really don't see PLA lasting under a whole lot of tension, so adding to it with a tremolo seems to be pushing ones luck. 

I'll keep the chrome tuners from the same build as well. 

There's apparently around 100 hours print time involved with this. My printer is reporting about 1.5 days just for the lower quarter, so that makes some sense. I've put a logo on that quarter so I'll need to move the output jack from where most people have put it. I'll likely make a side mount and glue it in and use some black wiring to stop it standing out. 

I don't yet have a neck. I'll find one at some point. Big jobs never seem to quite turn out right when I 3D print, so I expect this will be a long, drawn out process. Then I'll need to sand this complex pattern on material that isn't all that great for sanding, attempt to paint it, glue it together section by section and hope the whole thing comes out stupidly strong. There are some suggestions on best adhesives to use. That'll be on my list of future things to get.

This build really is just a novelty, so my expectations are pretty low. If it comes out reasonably playable, I'll be pretty surprised.
