Lord Doctor Olle WI brought my 3D printed guitar to the office and had a colleague tune it, and then we tried it with a proper sound system. It actually sounds great now.
The base model is the Prusacaster by Mikolas Zuza. And printed the parts updated 2025 by medienlampe. The base guitar kit with the neck and all hardware is the Harley Benton T-style DIY kit sold by Thomann.

The Prusacaster - How to Design and 3D Print an Electric Guitar that plays well
3D printing an electric guitar has always been a dream of mine, but it seemed like such a daunting task. Would the body snap under the tension of the strings? Would it bend over time? Would I need to use special...
Since the kit also includes a wood body, I’m now thinking of buying additional parts and create another guitar with it.
Here is a video of how it sounds. Pretty good for a 3D print.

Arakin@arakin Yeah, the hexagons make it look a bit different. It’s not my own design though, I just chose the colors.

Tobias Klausmann@ollej https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n02tImce3AE Turns out, the body and fretboard of a guitar don't matter much for tone. :)
Tested: Where Does The Tone Come From In An Electric Guitar?
@klausman All of the components are pretty cheap as well, except for the sound system. The 3D printed body might stretch under pressure though, but if that happens I can print a new one! :)
The gallant knight@ollej No disrespect, the guitar looks awesome but does the corpus matter soundwise for an e-guitar?
@burningTyger I’m no musician, but the crappy electronics in the kit is probably the main issue. The plastic might deform over time due to the pressure of the strings.
@ollej that makes sense, probably the reason why regular ones are quite solid and heavy
