3D Printing Model for Pickup Bobbins for PSG
I am going to mess with making a single coil pickup for a 10 string PSG. I want to attempt to do a 3D printed bobbin. Is there a site that would have the models to do this?
A fine instrument is like a lady. Treat it nice and it will make lovely music.

Just to chime in, the above link is for single coil 6 string guitar pickup bobbins in a STL file, they were perfect from ETSY. The problem is, Ive wound a lot of bobbins and I prefer injection molded bobbins not 3D printed ones. Yes they work but they are not smooth and imperfections or roughness has to be sanded out before winding. Freecad is really good software to draw up an STL model for a 10 string bobbin. My time is so limited but In the next few months I might draw one up just for fun, ill post it here if I do. ETSY may have a source for these already made by just sending out an email request. Please also tell me you have a bobbin winder that will accept a pickup that wide.
