One of our Student Lab Instructors, @chenchenger03, made this fully functional, 3D-printed violin🎻. With basic violin accessories and some tuning, it gives a great sound🎵. Just another idea of the unlimited creativity you can unlock with 3D-printing.

Thanks to Hova Labs for their amazing project of 3D-printable instruments.

PrusSlicer now has a nifty way to create “organic” supports.

They are MUCH easier to remove from the final 3D print.

“Organic supports are easily removable, do not scar the surface, and are fast and cheap to print.”

An example of a recent print in the Maker Space and how it looks with each of the methods.

How to do it: “Open the Paint-on supports Gizmo, select Automatic painting. when its done enable for “support enforcers only” then go to Print Settings\Support material\Style: and from the drop down menu select Organic. “
