Various shapes useful for sanding a violin during construction.
All shapes require sandpaper to be attached. I use sheets of sandpaper and glue them on using CA glue. Sheets with dull paper backing are best. If the paper looks waxy it will likely not glue properly.
Several kinds of shapes are provided:
Shapes for sanding the edges of the plates (front & back). The plate is elevated slightly on something flat, a plate of glass or thin MDF. The plate protrudes over the edge of the flat surface, and the sanding shape can be rubbed along the edge to make a nice perpendicular sanded edge.
Shapes for the neck. Mostly for smoothing out the inside of the peg box, which is hard to reach using normal sanding sticks.
Spacers for edge work. These aren't for sanding. Rather, I pick the one with the correct thickness for the edge of the plate, place it alongside the edge, then I can slide a chisel along the top to trim the plate edge and get it to the exact correct thickness.
For the spacers, make sure you are printing with an accurate "z" (depending on orientation), and measure the thicknesses to confirm accuracy before using.
