I designed and modeled a complete 3D violin from scratch using Onshape. The most challenging part was getting the curved body geometry and intricate details of the violin correct. I am really proud of how the final assembly turned out, and you can test it by opening the public Onshape CAD link.

I’ve finished everything; I’m publishing it now.

Devlog 7
I’ve just about finished the final touches; all that’s left is to build the stand and add the very last details. I’ll be releasing it in the next devlog.

Dev Vlog 7
So… I’ve solved the color issue and handled the final touches. I’ll work a bit more on the finishing details, then build a stand to mount it on—and that’s it. It should be ready very soon; I think maybe two more updates from now. Hopefully, it’ll be finished sometime tomorrow.

Developer Vlog 6
I’m almost done; I really just have a few final touches left and need to make it stand upright. I probably won’t have time to add an arch, since I really need to wrap up this project and get back to studying. I don’t know why—I didn’t do anything to it—but it decided to turn purple; I’ll check everything over and then close out the file and the project.
So… this is what it looks like right now.

Devlog #5?
I’ve more or less put all the parts together; all that’s left is to add textures, finishing touches, and a stand. I’m not sure if I’ll make a violin bow, too—I tried, but I really couldn’t get the hair right; if I do make one, it’ll probably be without the hair.

Developer Vlog #4
I’ve finished making most of the violin parts; now I need to assemble everything and add textures and finishing touches.

devlod#3 I’ve just finished assembling some of the parts and the bottom section of the violin; now, all that’s left is the top section and the final finishing touches.

I continued working on the violin; I had already crafted almost the entire lower half and the ornamentation for the middle section.

Hi,
I want to say upfront that this will probably be pretty bad, since it’s the first time I’m writing a dev log like this…
Anyway, for this project, I chose to work on a violin model using the web-based software Onshape. I’m roughly halfway through—or maybe just at the beginning… I mean, I have the structure down, but the hard part is still ahead. I need to do the finishing touches to make it look good and check that it’s properly converted into a printable file… uh…
Yeah, I don’t have much else to say about it right now. So, sorry.
