Description

Austin Shaner has put a lot of work into a Fusion 360 file to generate fretboards.

He provides metric and imperial versions of the file here https://grabcad.com/library/parametric-fretboard-v3-1

Out of interest, I wanted to lay the frets out from first principles without pre-calculating locations as Austin did, and so built this Fusion 360 sketch and quickly built and cut an example board in the attached file.

Please link to this object page on printables to cite it when it's useful to you.

 

Extrude an octave's worth of fret locations

Copy to the higher octave

Scale down by half

Build the body of the neck

Split the surface with the fret extrusions to mark the locations for the fret wires
