This will probably be the last post I make in the thread about my own whistles specifically, though I'll be happy to continue to talk about 3d printing and whistles in general. I've opened a small preliminary shop on etsy at https://whistlerscreations.etsy.com/ and so want to abide by the commercial...

coming back to this, that last still-unknown whistle is giving me early Boisvert/Greenwood vibes.

Another video..I'm trying to record tunes that cover the range from bottom D to 2nd octave B. https://youtu.be/uv0R8BDNXaM And a good pic of the tuning slide in place, since I haven't posted one before. https://i.imgur.com/AC9otcH.jpeg About once a month, I vend 3d printed stuff at a monthly pop-up ...

It's amazing watching the whistles just appearing. I wonder if filament's available that would make Pride Week whistles? They'd be fun and might well sell! With 3d printing moving more mainstream, you can find just about any color you're looking for. There's even a site set up to track them. Though...

Wow, that is exciting, Wanderer. So for example, you could move from cylindrical to a mild taper, with the head a bit bigger than where you had started, and the foot a bit smaller. Or go the other way, insert a small reduction in bore at the top of the tube, if you felt that the thickness of the bo...

Wow, they have come a long way, haven't they. And I guess, at least in theory, that it should be possible to do tapers and flares and other such tomfoolery, although the maths might get a little frightening. Or am I making too much of that? Designing that stuff in engineering software is actually p...

I know this topic has been talked about to death on here, but I'm still confused about it. I'm looking for solutions to clogging, and people keep talking about the "toothpaste solution." I'm not sure I've done this correctly, but I've tried putting toothpaste both in the windway and on th...

On my printer, about 2 hours. On some of the more standard hobbyist machines (like an Ender 3), about 10 hours.

I finally remembered to grab a timelapse video and pull it off the printer between print jobs.

I had a look through eight pages of results and couldn't see anything that looked like them. What's your brand name? https://whistlerscreations.etsy.com It looks tough just to get visibility for people to know your whistles exist, but you have better potential for customisation than other makers an...

I hadn't imagined you doing more than one at once, but now it's obvious that that's the way to do it. I've been thinking about using a 3D printer to make models for components which I'll then use to make moulds so that I can produce the actual components for instruments in resin - I want them to be...

I forgot to turn on timelapse video so you guys can watch a half-dozen of these 'grow' in my printer. So instead, you get the static image.

Maybe 3D printing's the answer, though I'm not sure that stuff's safe to stick in your mouth either. Depends on the material you 3d print with. The most common, PLA, is a sustainable bio-plastic polymer typically made with corn starch or sugar cane and most reputable makers include an MSDS on their...
