I've gone through quite a few iterations of test ocarina's to arrive at this tone-accurate musical instrument that prints without support and without assembly in your resin printer.

…and it looks like a butterfly cocoon as it hangs down from the build plate.  So, should it be called a “Cocoonarina”? Heh.

Though I designed it for SLA print, we'd also be curious to know if it'll work in your filament printer as well.

It ranges from B4 to D6.  So, if you can play an inline ocarina, a video showcasing its full range would be greatly appreciated!  

PLEASE NOTE: One should be careful when working with resins near your mouth as  most resins are comprised of sensitizing chemicals (mainly polyurethane acrylate & acrylate monomers) which can create an increasingly severe reaction over time when exposed, akin to developing a lasting allergy.  

Alas, there are some bio-compatible resins out there such as that from Formlabs, so please use your best judgement. 

Further, I've also read that painting a resin surface eliminates any of these potential problems so just make sure you do your due diligence!

If you found this useful, it would bring me great joy to see your work - so be sure to share. :)

Enjoy!

UPDATE for Sept 8, 2023: I have added a thicker-walled (1.75mm vs 1.00mm) version “B Inline Ocarina 8.stl” which I hope yields a less ‘airy’ tune than the original.  Both legacy and new files will be available.  Let me know how version 8 goes.

UPDATE for Sept 9, 2023: Added another version "B Inline Ocarina 9.stl" that has a narrower tone hole (originally, it was 7.5 x 3.5mm, now it is 5.0 x 3.5mm.  Give it a try!
