I didn't use the Thomann kit as a base but stripped down an old Squire Strat and therefore had to do some adjustments, especially on the core part. This remix is for makers who

  • don't use the Thomann kit and want to do the electronics, wiring etc. themselves
  • have a spare (Squire) Stratocaster neck lying around
  • want to use a FilterTron as the neck pickup
  • prefer to use heat-set inserts to attach the bridge to the core
  • want to attach the strings on the back side of the body/core.

For print settings please follow the instructions for the original model. The only aesthetic change I did was slice the “blue_piece” witout top layers. Together with the remixed pickguard the gyroid infill (or whatever infill you prefer) is exposed.

Hardware I used and for which this remix is definitely compatible:
  • Göldo TL-Bridge HW48C
  • DiMarzio DP381BK (bridge pickup)
  • Gretsch FilterTron HS Neck NI (neck pickup)
  • Gretsch Pickup Screws Set
  • Harley Benton Parts SC-Style Jack Plate CH
  • Gotoh TLB-1 String Ferrules Chrome
  • Göldo Control Plate TL-Type Space

Differences of the remix compared to the original

Black Core

  • Increased the pocket for the neck pickup to make way for a Gretsch FilterTron
  • Modified the pocket for the neck to accomodate a (Squire) Stratocaster Neck
  • Increased the hole size for the bridge plate to be able to use heat-set inserts
  • Added counterbore through holes for string ferrules (strings attached on the back side as on a classic Tele) 

Black Knob Holder

  • Increased the size of the main pocket for electronics to accomodate custom parts
  • Increased the size of the horizontal holes connecting to other parts to accomodate heat-set inserts

Pickguard

  • Added a cutout for aesthetic reasons to make the gyroid infill visible on the underlying part (underlying part “blue_piece” was sliced without top layers)
