The purpose of the diploma work was to print various customized guitar accessories and then check their usability.
The theoretical part presented 3D printing and described two of the most important 3D printing technologies, fused deposition modeling - FDM (fused deposition modeling) and stereolithography - SLA (stereolithography), which were also used for printing the accessories. The importance and necessity of personalization or adaptation of devices to the end user were explained. We described the accessories that were printed, namely the picks, the capo, and the guitar stand. At the end of the theoretical part, some already printed guitar accessories were presented and the printing settings were described. In the experimental part, brief explanations of the materials and methods used were given. The following is a description of the software and hardware and other equipment. The modeling in Blender was explained and the examples were illustrated with pictures. Step-by-step, the process of printing picks, capos and guitar stands was described with explained settings in the printer software. Tests of test specimens with different infill densities were also performed on the dynamometer device to determine the tensile strength of the material and thus determine which infill density was suitable for capo printing. We found that the most suitable filling density was 100%. All the results on the basis of which the final findings were summarized are included in the tables and diagrams and presented in the chapter results and discussion. We also tested all the gadgets that were printed and gave our opinion on their effectiveness.
