I just used standard alcohol-based varnish. Tbh I when I started this build, I didn't even realise it would do that. 😅
Gut möglich, wäre nicht das erste Mal.
Those are standard (albeit fancy) "french eye" tuning pegs from Thomann Germany. The endpin is in the same style. Maybe for the next instrument I will try to make them myself.
I wish. Lutes are an entirely different beast. Definitely on my bucket list, though.
Have you adjusted the speed settings according to what the manufacturer says? LW-PLA can only be printed at a very low speed or else it clogs. It also needs constant speed. For example for colorfabb LW-PLA, I had to set all speeds to 40mm/s.
So far I just use a baroque bow. I work on a cherry bow from time to time, but it's quite difficult.
And here is a Quick vocaroo where I play a few notes on each string.
That's probably because they're closely related. Every region in Europe has their own variation of a small, pear-shaped, three-stringed instrument. There's the Russian gudok, Bulgarian gadulka, Spanish rabel, and so on...
I think the masked-off area is easy to spot:
The body got an alcohol-varnish and the fingerboard is oiled. Worked pretty well.

Some more pictures:
Most parts are cnc-carved. The body is usually carved from a single block of wood, but for my cnc, I split it into three parts, including a decorative strip of amaranth.
Vibrating string length 29.5cm (3/4 violin). Strings are Aquila F-Red superior tension, G-D-A.
Materials used: maple, spruce, amaranth, ebony.

I've got the first one, too, and I got exempt from the subscription fee. I thought that was the case for all first gen owners?
This one is tempting. Not only color, but also one of the few eink devices with >10" screen. Also, Remarkable doesn't put the screen behind a thick glass like Boox does, so there is no pen parallax.
I've never looked into the subscription thing Remarkable does. Afaik it's only for the cloud storage - is it mandatory now?
Linux Mint is what you're looking for.
Just a "quick" project to test carving techniques on my new cnc.
Made from very old beech wood that was exposed to the elements (body), cherry (tailpiece and nut), maple (bridge).
Just a test for my new CNC machine. I got the file from here: Scantheworld and turned it into a relief using ZBrush and Photoshop. The wood I used is cherry and the sice of the carving is roughly 60x50mm.
Es ist nicht nur schlimm, sondern schlimmer als gedacht. Bei den Kommunalwahlen sieht es nicht besser aus. In meiner alten Heimatstadt, die lange als linke Enclave galt, hat die AFD 10%p gewonnen und stellt nun ein Viertel der Stadtverordneten.
Yes, and even the bridge is amaranth!
