The Tiniest Violin

This is the tiniest scale violin with real strings you can hopefully print and maybe get off the bed in one piece. It only plays sad songs and is an entry into the Bambu Lab 0.2mm nozzle design contest. It's goal is to produce the tiniest scale violin that you can print with a 0.2mm nozzle, with actual strings.

This model is a little temperamental to print, with it sometimes failing around the scroll at the top of the violin, however when it does, it does it fairly quickly after the brown body has been printed. There may be an opportunity here for a much better print profile than mine!

Please note that removing the models from the print bed takes extreme care and patience as it is very small and fragile. You may very possibly damage the models even if you are very careful. However, it is possible as the pictures demonstrate!

The above model was printed in PLA Matte Dark Brown, Charcoal and Ivory White on my A1 Mini to show off the amazingly detailed prints you can do with this printer.

Bed Removal

The bow is best removed by sliding a thin object with a fine edge under the bow carefully.

I find the best way to remove the violin seems to be to very gently bend the plate until the bottom section is released. Then lever the violin gently off the build plate from the opposite end by holding the scroll and lifting it up very carefully.

Good luck :)
