3D Printed Guitar Picks

[TJontheRoad]

This is cool.

I recently dipped my toes in the 3d printer world.

I made some picks out of petg, but I can't get on with the feel. Dunlop nylon ftw.

I did make some wallet sized emergency pick packs for a few buddies. They'll do in a pinch.

Cool. Is that your model or something that can be downloaded somewhere?

Not mine.

Go to makerworld and search for emergency picks

I've created a brand name called "Pick-A-Dittles" and added it to my website. Soon, I'll offer details on how you can get a free sample pack.

I got these 3D printed textured picks free with some 4D printed pedals a couple of years ago.

I went a little nuts over the weekend, printed close to 20 different ones with PETG.

The two at the bottom right are the winners of this initial competition. The brown are my favorite BlueChips, with the one on the right filed quite a bit, but it's seen 2+ years of heavy use, needs replaced.

How anyone could use the top right one is LOST ON ME, lmfao. Few others are "ergonomic/twisty" and I don't much care for them.

The two winners play almost as well as the Blue Chips, just not quite as forgiving if I dig in too much. They may sound a tad better, at least in initial attack.

It's easy to go overboard I know lol. I like the two top middle ones. They're like the Pickboys I've been using for a long time.

Indeed it is!

Those two would probably be ok if I make them thicker. You sure you don't want me to send you the top right?!

The top right would be better as bedding for a fish pond maybe

Laid all out here. I'll have some more colors too later on.

They all look good funky designs but to thin for me and the point wouldn’t last .

They're 1.25mm thick at the tip. I'll be offering a thinker 1.75mm tip version soon. They do wear better than you think. And, they'll be priced inexpensively. $14.99 for 18 with free shipping.

A free sample is coming soon as well.

I'm also working on a carbon fiber nylon pick. That'll need to be priced higher though.
