A pick, also known as a plectrum, is a small, flat, and typically triangular-shaped tool used by guitarists to pluck or strum the strings of a guitar. Guitar picks are usually made of various materials, such as plastic, nylon, celluloid, metal, or felt. They come in different thicknesses, sizes, and shapes, allowing guitarists to customize their playing experience based on personal preferences and musical styles.


3D printed guitar picks are a modern and innovative take on the traditional guitar pick. They are created using 3D printing technology, which allows for customization, unique designs, and the use of various materials not typically found in conventional picks. However, it's essential to keep in mind that 3D printed picks might not have the same level of durability as traditional picks made from industrial-grade materials. They may wear down faster, especially when using softer or less robust filaments. Additionally, the printing resolution and material choice can influence the overall playability and sound produced by the pick.


Here is a design for a 3D printed Guitar Pick :

The 3-Sided Pick offers three distinct playing tips in a single pick. Each side delivers unique playing characteristics.


Rounded Corner:

The first side of the 3-Sided Pick boasts a rounded corner, perfect for producing warm and smooth tones. When striking the strings with this tip, it generates a softer attack, resulting in a mellow and expressive sound. It is particularly useful for crafting gentle melodies, slow passages, and emotive ballads. The rounded corner also enhances comfort and grip, providing a smooth glide across the strings for effortless fluid picking motions.


Pointy Tip:

The second side features a pointy tip designed to deliver bright and well-defined attack characteristics. With the pointy tip, guitarists can achieve a sharp and aggressive sound, making it ideal for fast and intricate picking patterns like shredding and lead guitar playing. Preferred by players seeking a cutting and articulate tone, the pointy tip allows individual notes to stand out prominently in a mix or during solos, making it a great choice for genres that demand clarity and precision, such as rock, metal, and fusion.


Scooped Tip:

The third side showcases a scooped tip, offering a unique blend of characteristics from both the rounded and pointy tips. This versatile tip allows players to strike a balance between warmth and brightness, delivering a middle-ground tone suitable for various playing styles and musical genres. The scooped tip is an excellent choice for rhythm guitar playing, chord strumming, and lead playing, making it a versatile option for different musical situations.


The extruded logo serves to have a better grip in the fingers.


Have fun printing it in different size or different materials PLA, ABS, PETG … means a different sensations and/or a different sounds in you fingers.
