Dude! This is so freaking good ! Nice work !
Brilliant! I’ve been using narrow blocks of wood with the fret crown sanded into the bottom while holding sandpaper wrapped around it. This is a great design!
I did something similar until I discovered 6″ sanding sticks via Doug Proper’s fretting videos.
That’s really cool!
Thanks! I did a test print, but for some reason the reel doesn’t fit all the way in the handle per the video. It appears the diameter of the reel is too big to seat into the little “pocket” of its handle cylinder. I imported the STL combo, split the parts and reoriented in printing, but didn’t change the size. I may have missed something though.
Derin,
Thanks for your feedback. After I posted the looth print I did some additional prints and realized that the the tolerances were much too tight. I re-posted the files in the download area with more relaxed tolerances between the sandpaper reel and the FretSander handle. I’ve been primarily using PLA but I also tried ASA. With ASA the problem is even more evident, but I found an easy fix for ASA is to just print the FretSander handle scaled to 102% (XYZ). My apologies –
