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

Check the included PDF for assembly instructions!

 

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
