We didn’t design this model. It’s a community file from its original creator, and now and then a file has a fault that only shows up when we print it, such as walls that are too thin or parts that don’t join properly. If that happens we’ll let you know and try to fix the file, which can add a day or two. If we can’t get a good print from it, we’ll refund you in full.

Good to know before you order

TPU has a £11.50 print-order minimum. ABS, ASA, PC, Nylon and PETG-CF have a £46 minimum; PA-CF has a £69 minimum. Delivery is shown separately in your cart.

Need a few parts? Add them to one cart. One order minimum and one postage charge cover the cart: £6.90 for standard materials, £11.50 with TPU, £46 with ABS, ASA, PC, Nylon or PETG-CF, or £69 with PA-CF.

Please check the model files include everything you need before ordering. We print the files as published by the creator, so you receive the parts in the model, not necessarily a finished assembly shown in any photos. These are community designs by their original creators; we manufacture and post them but cannot guarantee fitment for your specific appliance or use case - check the original design page for compatibility.

About this print

The Black Widow is a fully 3D-printed electric guitar body and neck assembly, designed as a personal project and later showcased at CES 2016. It is intended for musicians and makers curious about printed musical instruments, combining functional design with a striking aesthetic inspired by the spider motif. ABS or PETG are suitable materials for the structural parts, offering the rigidity needed to handle string tension and the stresses of regular handling.

I have decided to release my files to the public for everyone to enjoy! I had a lot of fun creating this project and wanted to share my experience with others. None of this would have been possible if it were not for Braydon Moreno and his team at Robo 3D. A big thanks goes out to everyone that inspired and encouraged me to continue this project!

Designed in 3D Studio Max / MeshLab and printed on the Robo 3D R1 using little or no support. I split the design into six different pieces so each one would print on my Robo 3D R1. The center pieces are printed using 100% infill for stability and the other pieces are printed at 60% infill.

If you are reading this, this is a work in progress. My final guitar required minor modifications and manipulation after printing in order for all the pieces and electronics to come together. You will need to modify your files or printed pieces in order to achieve your desired effect and it will be project dependent. If you print, this please share with us your accomplishments as well as your challenges. Even if you do not finish I would be interested in seeing the progress of your build.
Thanks again, and please be kind on the comments, if you have a question I will do my best to answer it :)

Printing The Black Widow 3D Printed Guitar

For The Black Widow 3D Printed Guitar we would normally reach for PLA — it is the easy, economical default and suits the majority of models. We set the layer height, wall count, infill and supports to suit the model and how you will use it, and those choices are already priced into your instant quote. Want a specific colour or material? Tell us and we will match it where we can.
