All done painting the 3D printed components that go on the PVC frame!

Now I just need to glue the components on the PVC—does anyone have a recommendation for a adhesive to stick PLA to PVC? Something less-than-permanent would be ideal, in case I ever need to repair it.

And after the gluing, I’ve got a couple foam panels to put on it, and various wires and greebles. DragonCon here I come!

I did end up going with hot glue... It seems strong enough to hold up to con wear and tear, it gave me enough time to wiggle everything into just the right position, and lowest priority, but I I thiiiink I'd be able to muscle some of the pieces off if I ever need to repair/rebuild the guitar. Success! ^probably^ ^lol^

In case anyone comes across this later…

Hot glue for the PLA-PVC connections was plenty. I haven’t tried to muscle any of the pieces off, but they’ve held up to two days of walkin around at con with no noticeable shifting
