Nut and fretted fingerboard, which fits (almost) any standard sized 4/4 violin or fiddle.
There is nothing new about fretted fiddles, you may google, what people say about it. In short: it's much, much, MUCH easier to play in tune, and to play double stops, but some classic violin “moves” are almost or completely impossible.
And with some help from 3d printer you can figure it out by yourself.
Non-printable parts
Violin or fiddle, which will become The Fretted Fiddle soon.
Printing
There are two fingerboard stls: one without any additions, which you may print laying flat. Other has a massive support structure attached, for printing in vertical orientation. The latter looks smoother (see third photo for comparison. Anyway, both fingerboards are playable). I've used the vertically printed one, and it feels and plays very well.
You'll also have to print a nut, because standard sized violin nut won't work with this fingerboard.
I've printed mine in PLA and PETG, both came out fine.
Post-printing
Remove old fingerboard from your violin (there are plenty of web pages and videos on how to do it). Clean the neck surface.
Sand the back side of printed fingerboard and nut flat.
Attach printed nut and fingerboard to the neck of your violin. I'm not sure that my regular luthier glues would work. I've found, that double sided tape, used for carpets, works pretty nice: it attaches to the wood and to the plastic. And the connection is still undoable. The thick double sided tape is too… thick, and the thinnest varieties do not hold at all.
UPD: Actually, you have to use glue at least for the nut. Double sided tape can not prevent it from slipping.
To my surprise, there was no reason to adjust the bridge, just keep it where it was.
What to check
The string length from where the strings exits the nut slot to the bridge (measure length) must be 330 mm, no more no less. It's standard, just double check it.
More post-printing
You may want to adjust string action by filing nut grooves deeper. That's probably all.
And please, mind the license. It is noncommercial by purpose.
