This is a Soprano ukulele I designed to be easy to print and assemble. No glue required for easy repair. This is an upgraded version that uses a shorter 250mm steel rod. I adjusted the sound hole and bridge placement for a louder and less muddy sound.
I suggest you calibrate your printer before printing. Another thing you can do is print both nuts and insert the steel rod to see which version will work best for your printer.
I had to remove the uke body. I need to modify and repair that model before I can re-upload that one.
Parts list:
- 1 x Neck
- 1 x body
- 1 x nut
- 1 x bridge
- 1 x 6mm x 250mm steel rod
- 1 x M3 x 16mm screw bolt
- 1 x M4 x 16mm screw bolt
- 4 x M1.7*6 self tapping screws
- 1 set of ukulele tuning pegs with screws ( I recommend this: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00EQ2ABD4 Not an affiliate link)
How to print: Use supports on the neck and bodies.
How to assemble:
- Remove all the support material
- Attach the nut to the neck and use 2 screws to hold it in place.
- Attach the bridge to the body and use 2 screws to hold in place.
- Do a test fit to see if the steel rod should fit into the neck and body.
- Remove steel rod and slot body and neck together. The pic below is how it should look like.
- Insert Steel rod
- Screw the M3 bolt into the back of the instrument
- Screw the M4 bolt into the side of the instrument
- Flip the instrument over and place the geared tuning pegs one at a time. Use a small screwdriver to make tiny pilot holes. Screw in the tuning pegs with the included screws.
- Tie on your strings and that should be all that needs to be done.

The author remixed this model.
Differences of the remix compared to the original
I adjusted the sound hole and bridge placements. I did various other quality of life improvements to make the instrument louder and sound nicer
