Nut for 3 string Cigar Box Guitar

Description

I Love Building Cigar Box Guitars...But Have Never Been Able To Make A Nut I'Ve Been Happy With. So I Figured Why Not Try 3D Printing One :) Seems To Work Better Than Anything I'Ve Managed To Carve Out Of Hardwood, Bone Or Plastic By Hand! Maybe I Should Try Printing Up A Better Bridge Next... String Grooves Are Sized To Fit The A/D/G Strings From A Set Of Standard 6 String Guitar Strings And Are Spaced To Work With A Picture Hanger Bracket I Use As A Tailpiece. The Openscad Source Is Included So It Should Be Relatively Easy To Adjust The Size And Positioning Of The String Grooves To Work With Other Setups. I Left The Nut A Little Tall Which Gives Somewhat Higher Action On The Strings Than I Prefer. But It'S A Lot Easier To Sand It Down A Bit To Get The Action Just Right Than To Make It Taller After Printing!
