@lemmy.worldHi, 3d printing a nut guy again. Finally have all the materials and I think enough skill to model this thing on my own.
Exactly what tolerances should I have in the channels of the nut for the strings? Like, for example my low B string is a .59. How large should I make that channel? 1.50mm? A little more room perhaps?
Thanks for any responses!
Hey there. I have an Ibanez AX-7221 (Japanese made version) that has a damaged nut. I need to replace it, but am financially locked but do have access to a 3d printer.
Are there materials that can be printed which would be ok for this task and stand up to the stresses?
Edit: <3 to everyone that has given advice here. Much better than the 3d printing community's answers I got.
I need mother of pearl 75mm by 30mm 1.8mm how can I find distrabuters selling this size?
Prices are all over the place and I'm totally lost.
