Found a free awesome Slicer for dicom and it converts to stl there a mac version too you can watch the video showing how to do it. https://download.slicer.org/

the bass bar printed fine. it's a little more limber that wood, but I thing they will work fine, unless someone is spring loading there bass-bars, printed PLA at 50% fill print time 6 hours bassbar.mp4

here is a great site on the betts, and I also downloaded all the highest resolution pictures. Library of Congress https://www.loc.gov/item/ihas.200155591/ https://drive.google.com/file/d/1614dYvwzI-Z12yNUcrQMKbUSUujUVxRL/view?usp=sharing

Thanks @Urban Luthier I will sure try the CNC on these using walnut wood! First I'll see how strong the 3D printable or and report back. here is a STL of Urban Luthier Bass bar ready for slicing. Violin Bass Bar Clamps Urban Luthier.stl

I don't think its printable stuff , they or like I think cat scans, but here is a viewer you might can try, https://escapetech.eu/dicom/emvmac.html I use microsoft windows so I found http://www.microdicom.com/

Great Idea Barnes Ziegler, thanks for the start. I have some Over hange gauges I managed to do with fusion 360 a few months ago I put a mini inc filler in them Violin 3D Printable Tools Overhang Gauge v3.stl.zip Violin 3D Printable Overhang Gauge v3.f3d.zip

I also enjoy fusion 360, seem each update makes it easier to use. Have you been able to figure out how to do the violin tops and backs? I have a copy of violin stl files I found online from searching violin CNC drawings, but the stl have to many facets. have a CNC I got 6 months ago just waiting to cut a violin part LOL I'm jealous, John Masters has been able to do the work.

Watch Davide Sora's Videos, you cannot get a book better than his excellent Videos! his last 2 weeks of vidios show a lot about the top and back. Davide Sora Video's https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCggqGrdYUEovaC9UKnSMD3g/videos

your the first person I had to put on my ignore list. your not contributing anything that is helpful, I cannot see for the world what you get from posting such remarks. two times you complained, "Too much verbal diarrhea" "I think people can learn a thing or two if we can all provide constructive opinions" and yet your doing the same thing! I personally think it's time for the admin to step in and put a end to such personal bashing.

Awesome tool, as always you come up with the neatest tools, what is the pounds you set the jig at? and do you gradually tighten and how long have you learned to stretch it before you happy?
