About this 3D model

Hey Everyone! I really loved the design of the Prusacaster done by Mikolas Zuza of the Prusa team, but the kit they linked was very expensive to ship to the US. I remodeled my own version based off this amazon DIY Stratocaster Kit . All the parts are included in the kit and you only need to print the 5 parts. Printer: Bambu Lab P1P w/ .4mm hardened steel nozzle Filament: Bambu PLA-CF and Elegoo PLA+ ** I only used the PLA-CF because I had it from the 1 year anniversary gift, I've seen people do similar designs out of normal PLA and have no issues Print Settings: Body (very structural and needs to be much stronger) -.2mm layer height -8 Wall Loops -5 Top and Bottom Shell Layers -25% Gyroid infill -Normal(auto) Support -.2 mm Top and Bottom Z distance for support (under Advanced) -Mouse Ear Brim All other parts -.2mm layer height -3 Wall Loops -3 Top and Bottom Shell Layers -10% Gyroid infill -Normal(auto) Support -.2 mm Top and Bottom Z distance for support (under Advanced) -Mouse Ear Brim Some of the parts are close to maxing out the build plate, but just keep rotating the parts. They all fit on a 256x256 mm build plate. Assembly: After sanding the faces the would be glued together with a fine grit sandpaper, I glued the parts together using standard Superglue. I recommend aligning all the parts with the front flush to a flat surface before gluing (learn from my mistakes). For the screws that hold the pick guard and cable connector on, I drilled pilot holes that aligned with the existing holes on the parts and screwed them on. For the vast majority of the assembly I just followed the guide that was provided in the kit. Results: Overall, I am happy with the results I got! It plays as you would expect any non-3D printed guitar to play. It is by no means an amazing guitar, but was a very fun build and really rewarding to play it afterwards! I have included the STL's and STEP files if you are looking to do any modifications to the design.
