Yes, pickguard material is usually PVC which creates a hydrochloric acid vapor when you laser cut it. What you can do is get an mdf template laser cut and then using it with a table router/follow bearing bit.

3D printing is not that difficult, but Jim is right regarding the texture - however, it can be very easily filled and smoothed and if you are using PLA then Rustoleum actually bonds to the plastic and is very high wearing. I've done a few bits and pieces with my printer. I can do the required drawing/printing, but I would need really good measurements to work from.

Happy to have a go if you can supply some details.

Hi, thanks for that, yes that would be fantastic if you could do the drawing for us. Im sure its like a 5 min job if you know what your doing, i did try an online 3d programme online but couldn't manage to do it

The measurements i'm working with are
120mm x 45mm Outer dimensions
90mm x 38mm Inside dimensions
around 2.5 - 3mm thickness (what do you think is better for 3d printing)
would be a bonus if the outside corners were rounded off
1mm hole in the centre on the edge at the top and bottom


Thanks a lot! thats really appreciated!!

No worries, I'll have a look and post up a screen shot to make sure it's what you are after. I have a fairly busy start to the week but should be able to slot it in somewhere.
