Okay, this might be my cutest design so far!

Thanks to the “Bike Gear” contest for the inspiration and motivation for me to design this fun TPU squeaky toy goose bike horn!

I've been designing 3D printable TPU squeaky toys that use SpoolDesigns' 3D printable squeakers, so I thought:

“hmm, what squeaky design can I incorporate onto a bike?” 

The only thing on a bike I could think of that makes noise is a bell/horn. 

I used to quiz my niece (2 years old at the time) on the sounds certain animals make, and we'd add bikes into the mix. 

“What sound does a bicycle make?” 
“Ding ding! Ding ding!” 

(It's incredibly adorable hearing a 2 year old imitate a bicycle bell! 💗)

While this bike horn does not make “ding ding! ding ding!” sounds nor a genuine goose “HONK!!!”, I designed it anyway. I liked the idea of having a goose posed to resemble a bike horn, where you'd squeeze the inflated back portion and have noise coming out the front. Whether the mismatched “squeak!” that it yelps out makes it funnier or more whimsical…that's based on your taste – let me know what you think!

If you're here for the TPU squeaky toy fun, then you'll want to like/bookmark my TPU Squeaky Toys collection here on Printables to follow along. I'm working on getting more of my TPU squeaky toy designs uploaded and added to the collection – check out the squeaky page on my website if you can't wait.

You may recognize my TPU Rubber Duck and Gummy Bears that I showcased during my 60-second spotlight  on 3D Printing Nerd's Nerds in 60 seconds video at the 2024 3DPrintopia event.

BTW, I'll be attending 3DPrintopia this year – should I bring this?

Here's a quick demo of what it sounds like:

Make it and give it a good home:
