Party 'til you drop apparently according to the non-highlighted sentence.

Yeah, I have a new set ready to go. Either 57 or 59. (The B) I'm just hoping that printing can pull off the slot needed for the high E.
Yes, exactly!
Cool, will do. Can't be harder than the Ocarina I printed, lol.
Just use a tiny drop of superglue to hold it in place. It can still be carefully broken out and be replaced this way. The rest is done by string tension.
Gotcha. Here's to hoping I don't mess this up! Thanks for your advice!
Make sure to add enough perimeters to not get hollow spaces in the nut.
Oh I was going to make 100% solid.
If you manage to print it standing on its side (add a brim!), then the layer lines will follow string direction and the strings will glide better on the nut.
You mean from the end here as circled?
On of the thing I was actually also considering was making small tabs that I could use to keep it from sliding side to side and still replaceable. Think that would be wise or just glue the bastard down?
Yeah, I've seen nut models on thingiverse and such, but no one really has said anything in the comments of these models if they work or not. There are also no 7 string nut examples so I'll have to model one for this guitar in particular.
The other issue I'm seeing in making this is that the strings themselves seem to be at different distances from each other. 5.1mm between the B string and the E, 5.5mm between the E and A, 6.3mm between the A and D and so on. (Though I'm sure I'm measuring it wrong as this is something I've never done. I'm using digital calipers to measure the actual distance between the strings themselves and I'm assuming I should be measuring dead center?)
Yes. Vertical scroller.
1942 didn't have the same feel for me. That game is maddening.
That one leaf in the back doesn't have a lamp on it. You're gonna need more lamps.
I'm going to say it before anyone else does.
Linux.
