Part 5: The Neck

3D printing ‘The Neck’ of the acoustic violin was a bit involved. Our 3D printer in the library was not large enough to hold the Neck, so we had to borrow another printer over in the Anderson Labs. Anderson Labs is amazing! They have a wall, a wall of 3D printers! They also have laser cutters, welders, saws, and presses. The 3D printer that I used was a Fusion3 F400-S and it prints super fast. The specs on the Neck were for it to take 9 hours, which I expected to do 18 hours, but when I was told that it took less than 6. Awesome!
