No supports, rafts, or brims required for any part. Various parts were glued together. I like Gorilla brand superglue gel. If the bridge isn't glued properly, it can pull off. I found lightly sanding the bottom of the bridge really helps. I also apply pressure using clamps for 10 or 15 minutes to make sure it is strongly attached. Print Settings - Printer brand: Bambu Lab - Printer: P1S - Rafts: No - Supports: None of the parts require supports, except for the battery block - Resolution: 0.12 mm - Wall loops: 5 - Infill: 50% For the fretboard, I paused the print at the top of the fretboard to change filament colors, so that the frets print in a different color than the fretboard You'll need - Body - Bridge - Center ring - Fretboard - Saddle - 4 tuner Covers - 4 tuner Bases - 4 tuner knobs - 4 tuner gears - 4 tuner worm gears - Strap pin, if you want to use a strap The saddle is a compensated saddle. When placing it in the slot in the bridge, pay attention to the orientation. The peaks in the middle part of the bridge should be further from the top of the uke, and peaks on the edges of the bridge should be nearer the top. In addition to the printed parts, you'll need 8, Number 2, 3/8'' wood screws for the tuners. I used a 150 mm long, 5 mm diameter carbon fiber rod in the neck for strength. The rod is available from Amazon.
