About this 3D model

We are SycaTech#18268, a robotics team competing in FIRST FTC. As part of our project MUSYCA, we developed an innovative way to play the guitar using only one hand. We created two assistive solutions: ArmStrum – A foot-controlled strumming device that strums all the guitar strings with the press of a button attached to a foot strap. PressChord – A chord-playing system that uses floor-mounted buttons to press chords on the guitar. We would love for you to print, use, and share our designs to spread the impact of our project! Required Components General: Soldering ironWiresComputerArmStrum: 1 Micro Arduino8 M4 X 14mm screws 2 M4 X 38mm screws2 M4 X 28mm screws4 M4 X 15 mm screws16 M4 nuts1 Hitec HS-488HB servo1 servo horn1 M3 screw (comes with the servo)2 heat pressed M4 threaded inserts2 M5 X 15 mm screwsguitar pickbuilding: It's pretty straightforward. Connect the servo to the body, the gear to the servo horn and to the servo, the arm with the clip, the threaded inserts to the two holes on the arm in order to use the bolts to press on the guitar pick, and finally to the wings. PressChord: 1 Arduino4 M1 X 10.5mm screws3 M4 screws & nuts2 Tower Pro SG90 micro servos2 micro servo horns2 M1.6 screws (comes with the servos)building: The assembly requires some work but is easy for those willing to invest the effort.First, assemble the servos onto their holders, then attach the accessories to the servo horns and to the servo. Afterward, insert the clips into the body and assemble the holder according to the clip. To ensure a solid connection, it's recommended to “weld” the connection between the holder and the body with a soldering iron. Our goal is to publish these designs on 3D printing websites so they can be widely accessible. We appreciate your support in bringing MUSYCA to more people!
