This guitar was imagined and designed by Hussein of Barada Guitars, with the help of his friend Austin, who lent his expertise to the design of the CAD files.
This project is great for exploring new possibilities by using your CNC machine in its 3D capacity. It is the perfect example of where a CNC machine is way more precise than the human hand, but also faster than a 3D printer. The extra is that you can make this project out of materials a 3D printer can use. Typically, for a hangboard you have to use solid wood to avoid blisters.
As this project includes a good amount of material removal and as surface finish is the key here, a good clamping is very important ! In order to clamp the piece securely, we decided to use long wood screws to screw our handboard directly onto our spoiler board but there are many other techniques you could use.
We used a 212 x 505 x40 mm piece of solid beech for this project, but you can use any solid wood you like. Oversizing your stock 20 mm at all sides will seriously help you clamp it properly.
We used a 8 mm 3-flute flat end mill for this project. You can buy one directly on our webshop.
If you’d like to edit the Fusion360 project (to use another end mill for example) you can download it above.
The G-code is made out of 6 operations:
Mekanika is a Belgian company based in Brussels whose ambition is to make local production more accessible thanks to a 100% open-source approach.
We design and produce high quality machines for CNC milling and screen printing, which have been recognized for their reliability and ease of use. Our tools are delivered as kits and fully documented, allowing to easily adapt them to specific needs.

We decided to design some acoustic panels using our own Fab CNC to both improve acoustic and embellish our meeting room.
