Design in Tune
The 3D-Printed Guitar Stand Solution
Introduction
Where Creativity Meets 3D Innovation
This design showcases a sleek and functional guitar stand crafted with simplicity and accessibility in mind. Combining minimal 3D-printed components with basic timber dowels, the stand achieves both aesthetic appeal and structural integrity. Each part has been designed for ease of assembly, requiring only a few self-tapping screws and friction-fitted joints for a snug and stable fit.
