It was easier than I thought and works well. This way the guitar can have an after life at a youth organization until it will finally break under the campfire strains.

The saddle is 48mm x 6mm x 8.5mm. It was printed with Prusa PETG, 0.1mm FAST DETAIL profile on a Prusa Core One with 100% infill.

Update 21.07.2026

I had another broken guitar that needed a saddle replacement and I had to redo everything. The new FreeCAD file is now fully parametric

  • step height

  • vertical string distance

  • saddle width

  • saddle length

  • horizontal string distance

  • saddle angle

  • String diameter for strings E A D G H e

So I do have the hope, that I do not have to redo the FreeCAD file next time.

Have fun printing an playing guitar!
