Over the last year I have been fascinated by 3D printable whistles and have designed a few of my own and recently I found the "perfect'' whistle design! After managing to design this whistle I then started transforming it into all sorts of different flutes, train whistles, a cool straw like instrument and of course an extremely loud whistle and this is what I got…
Pan Flute:
This was my first iteration of the whistle and it sounds beautiful, it can play 10 different notes and it is easy to play and requires no skill whatsoever to make noise however it requires quite a lot of skill to play it well. Print it with normal settings
Whistles:
I have added 3 whistles 2 of which have been previously uploaded and although they got lots of downloads, they still don't work as well as the loudest whistle, even with just a bit of air it produces a huge amount of noise and is the loudest by a mile. The other whistles require a bit more force and don't produce anything near the amount of noise the loudest one does but they work well all the same and look a lot cooler in my opinion. Print them all with the normal settings
Adjustable Flute:
As you can see I have no real name for this one, this is because from what I know this is the first of its kind! It uses a similar concept to the pan flute and uses a plunger to adjust the size of the chamber, this varies the pitch and enables you to play songs and tunes as if you were whistling them. This is by far my favorite out of the collection just because how simply easy it is to use and get good results out of. The plunger has to fit quite tightly into the chamber to stop air escaping so when you print it try avoid any inaccuracies and try reduce the seam as much as possible other than that print as normal.
Train whistle:
This whistle uses different pitched whistles to combine into a train sounding noise. Play it softly to avoid a shrill sound. Other than that just add supports on the pipe inter section right at the bottom using paint on supports.
ENJOY:)
