Juan Carlos Noguera is an Industrial Designer, technologist and maker originally from sunny Guatemala. He has been interested in musical instruments, and is an amateur luthier. Please check out his portfolio for more of his work and experiments, as well as his details and resume. He wants to know more about how we create, share and sell products physically and online. The idea behind Nuke came from a careful study of our behaviors of consumption and research on how designers can create design spaces in new, underserved and disruptive spaces such as 3D Printing. Nuke is one of Juan’s experiments in putting 3D printable products into the world, and you can read more about his thinking by reading his master’s thesis for the Rhode Island School of Design.

THE FINE PRINT

The product has been throroughly tested in our printers, and has been carefully designed and fine tuned to minimize risk of failure. We have printed and assembled many units successfully, but every 3D printing setup is different, and every machine is calibrated and maintained differently.



As such, we make no guarantees, expressed or implied, that your print will be a success or that your particular instrument will be playable. Our instructions only apply to Fused Filament Fabrication (FFF) printers utilizing PLA plastic filament, we cannot guarantee the fit or structural stability of other processes. We do strive to provide you accurate and detailed instructions of the construction process in order to minimize frustration, but as with any experimental product, expect the unexpected!
