Epiphone Les Paul Custom - Mod Parts

All these parts are very easy to print with a 0.4 mm nozzle.

• No supports needed
• No brims
• 0.12-0.2 mm layer height

Material

I used PLA exlusively for the modifications shown in the pictures. More specifically:

• PolyTerra PLA Forest Green
• Fillamentum PLA Crystal Clear Smaragd Green

Pickguard

The pickguard consists of two layers that are glued together. Both are intended to be printed with 0.2 mm layer height. For creating a more interesting look, I sliced the bottom model without top layers. Consequently, you see directly onto the infill. I selected the gyroid infill and played with the density until I was satisfied. 

To get a different effect, simply play around with the infill types and density levels and see what suits you best.

Tone & Volume Knobs

I did not include any files for the knobs as I simply used the great ones provided by Zwackelmann (https://www.printables.com/model/278747-les-paul-poti-knob-v1).  I embossed some letters for my specific use case, but all credits go to Zwackelmann so make sure to check out his work.
What I did do additionally was to print rings that can be glued to the base of the knobs which allowed me to integrate a different material/filament to complement the design of the pickguard. These “deco rings” are also in the downloadable files and super easy to print.

Pickup Selector Switch Knob

There are two designs available for this knob:

1. ELPC_Switch Cap - standard knob where you print the M4 thread. A fine layer height of 0.12 mm or preferably less is recommended (0.12 mm worked fine for me).
2. ELPC_Switch Cap with Insert - a second knob design because I wanted more reliability. This model can be printed at 0.2 mm layer height with no problem. Fit an M4 heat set insert in there and you've got yourself a knob that will last (albeit a bit bulkier than the original design)!

Pickup Covers & Jack Cover Plate

The pickup covers are designed to fit the archtop body.

Print at 0.12 mm layer height.

Cavity Covers (Back of the Body)

Print at 0.2 mm layer height.
