After nearly a full 24 hours of printing, the first piece is complete! This was printed with ABS using 50% infill. Although these settings may be overkill for the majority of prints, this center piece will need to be able to handle the tension of the guitar's strings. It feels more solid than I was expecting, which is a great surprise!

As with every project, however, this piece presents a bit of a roadblock. Due to my mistake when designing the piece, the hole for the pickup is a couple of millimeters too small. I will spend the next few days trying to sand it down, so all of the filament used to print this piece is not wasted. I have high hopes, and will provide an update later on!
