I experimented with seeing how small a string instrument could be while still being playable

I made this instrument as an experiment. My original goal was to make a string instrument that will fit on a Prusa Mini+ build plate (180mm x 180mm x 180mm). 180mm is a bit too small if you want a decent sounding instrument, so I made the instrument 245mm long. It will technically fit on a Prusa Mini+ build plate, but you will need to print diagonally with supports. It sounds a little better than the 180mm version I made earlier, but the note range is very limited. It doesn't sound great, but maybe someone will modify this or find better strings to use.

I'm putting this project in the public domain. I might experiment with violin strings and see if this would work with a bow or I might add frets.

I included a .step file, stl and .gcode file for the Prusa Mini+.
