Description

This is a printable fretboard for a 4/4 violin. It is also a work in progress so your feedback and remixes are requested.
I just taped it onto the fingerboard with painters tape, which works alright but doesnt look as good as adhesive backing or clips.
After printing, remove the foot.
To install, loosen the strings a note or two and slide it under and then up the neck until flush with the nut. Apply tape and retune.
I think I made about 5 versions before uploading but some areas which need work are fret spacing as it seems to be less than a quarter note off between strings. Also the curvature of the neck took a few times to get right, but may differ a bit from instrument to instrument. if this is off, it will cause the board to lift up on the edges or center and touch strings.

Work in progress. I will try to revisit the project in a few months and incorporate suggestions.

Thanks to David, creator of fffiddle for getting me into strings.
