Hi guys,
Since I bought a pair of pickups for the bridge of my Pacifica 604w and the current ring has four holes, as it is designed for two single coils I needed some rings. The rings from amazon come from china and take 7-21 day, I could also buy them locally as they should be cheap. But since I was at work with not much to do and there was a 3D printer available and eady to go, I said "why not give it a try".
This was my first time printing and even using this type of stuff. After a quick search, I found this post https://forum.seymourduncan.com/showthread.php?311035-3D-printed-pickup-rings and downloaded the following CAD models:
The first one has a problem with the scale, my computer is in mm and the CAD in inches, so I just had to scale it up to 2540%. In addition, I messed it up as I did not put it flat on the bottom, but flat on the top (my bad) and that's why it looks like it was run over. This has an angle as it was designed for a LP type guitar. The other two seemed to have gone fine, now I just have to wait for the pickups to arrive and install them.
I started with this:
And about 2 hours later these were the results:
What do you think?
Cheers,
Walter
