Hi! Is this the Bach 3c version? Or could it be some other mouthpiece model? (They differ in very small details, but it makes a huge difference.)
Trumpet 3C mouthpiece
Modeled after the profiles from the Kanstul mouthpiece comparator.
With break away foot.

Solid mouth piece printed great sound and broke off nicely from the built in supports!
Dude this mouthpiece is awesome! Plays better than my metal 11b4, which is what I have been using for the last 5 years. Needs a bit more air, but is more comfortable and can play for longer periods of time.
Note for anyone making mouthpieces using a 3d printer: ALWAYS USE 100% INFILL. It helps a lot with the tone and resonance.
@MicahDubbeld_1488867 Thanks for the kind words! Did you apply any kind of after treatment, like acetone vapor bath on ABS? The recommendation I've heard about infill is to avoid 100 %, presumably to avoid the risk of distortion, and to prefer a large number of walls and lower than 100 % infill. I haven't tested that myself, though.
@Gauthier_141306 No, I didn't. I printed the mouthpiece on my Bambu Lab A1 with eSUN PLA+ with .15 layer height. It didn't distort at all. Even with my 3 wall loops, I printed a different mouthpiece similar to this one, and it sounded too airy and thin. Maybe its just that one lucky time, but who knows!
