Wow Moi Memee,  
Beautiful looking violin.  Tell us more about it, the print settings, the material, the transitions in material colors.  Very impressive.

The look is beutiful. 

Are these ukulele tuners too heavy? I tried also tried it, it was like hammer ...
My tunners have 150g, it has almost the third of wooden violin.

Wow 150g is really heavy! My geared uke pegs with pegbox weigh in at 100g. I find for my daily playing violin I prefer the geared uke tuners. I get very tired of tuning with the uke friction pegs! I have built up a fiddle with geared planetary pegs, and those tune very well and are a bit lighter, but they are expensive and can be hard to set up.

That said, I prefer the friction uke pegs when I am trying new bodies, as they tune up quickly. So they have their place. 

Here is the weight of my different pegboxes with tuners:
  • Grover 6B tuners 80g
  • Wittner Planetary Pegs 75g
  • 3D Printed Friction Pegs 50g
  • Geared Ukelele Pegs 100g
