3D PRINTED VS REAL VIOLIN 🎻

Intro

This could have a cold montage start with Ray putting together the violin and screaming

• Instruments in general can be really expensive and are often one of the biggest obstacles to more people learning how to play music. So I’m always interested when there are more accessible ways for people to participate.
• I recently discovered this 3D printed violin project called Hovalin where they give out their designs for free. So with this open source file, anyone can print their own violin. Anyone! If only I had a 3D printer…

So I borrowed my friend’s 3D printer (thanks Albert!) and also learned a lot about the process for 3D printing. Turns out there’s a whole community that come together to discuss designs and share them for free.

The overall process took about half a day and we had to print the violin in separate parts but Hovalin had accounted for this by designing a version where you’d put together the parts after they were finished. Turns out most 3D printers aren’t big enough to print it all in one go.

If I were to describe the process, it was kind of like baking. We’d sit around waiting for one part to complete, before taking it out and putting in the next.

And finally after about 12 hours of printing, it was complete!
