A headless bass guitar inspired by the Hexcore from Arcane.

Designed for a 4 string, with a roller bridge travel saddle.

Main Design Points:

• 2 soapbar humbucker pickups, 3 potentiometers
• spine reinforced by carbon fiber rods
• The insides of the side pieces use gradient filament for the colour
• Side pieces are designed for minimal multicolour wastage; the walls attach via dovetails, so there are minimal filament swaps needed
• My own rune design for decoration

For Printing/Modifying

• The supports for the side pieces can be removed using needle-nose pliers and tweezers
• You can add an interface layer for the supports; use PETG if printing PLA etc
• Try to print the side pieces bodies on one plate; it gives a better colour transition when using gradient filament
• STEP files for the core are included, so that you can modify it for your own bridge/neck/pickups
• This should also be usable with a standard bass neck; make sure to check your scale length first

Filaments I used for my build:

• CC3D PETG-CF Black
• Jayo Matte PLA Black
• Sunlu Dual Silk Blue-Black
• Creality Rainbow PLA Spring Lake
• Bambu Matte PLA Dark Red

I also did an epoxy resin coat, which I then sanded with 180 grit, 2500 grit, and used a matte finishing spray.

All hardware was from Aliexpress/Taobao
