Original caption

I 3D printed an over-engineered electric bass 🎸 (Printed Instruments Pt. 16) Full metal core, real EMG pickups, a multiscale neck — most of it printed on my Bambu farm. Hardest build I've done. Spikeon Studio sent me the full kit to build — the parts are on their crowdfunding: exobass.com/crowdfunding 🔗 Every model + link from every video → patreon.com/PluggedIn3d #3DPrinting #BassGuitar #PrintedInstruments #BambuLab #PluggedIn3D
