Whistle

Description

This is my redesign of the famous whistle. I made the pea more round and the body a bit thinner. I also put the pea where it is easier to break off. It now makes the staccato whistle sound.

Instructions

Print with no extra shells and 100% infill. If your walls are not absolutely solid it will not work. If it fails, rub some acetone on the flat faces and let dry. This normally fixes it. It is also good to calibrate the infill and bridging settings as it wont work if they are not good.

Made it. Whistled it. Can't believe the solidoodle printed the last few layers without bridge etc. Came out perfect. Cheers

Two colours black and white ?

Print on initials ?

Sounds great! And prints much better than other designs, thanks!

Printing a whistle with a pea in it has been my goal since before I started building my RepRapPro Huxley - this is fantastic! :). First attempt was pretty poor - my fault, just didn't understand the settings in Skeinforge and I created the GCODE with all defaults. Now with a wee bit more experience, I sliced the STL using SLIC3R using my standard settings - worked first time. One minor point - the lanyard loop comes out rather poorly on my machine - maybe I could improve things of course. Well done.

I made one of these yesterday and it looks nice and the whistle works well. Am I supposed to free the ball and if so what tool do people use to cut it away? The whistle works even without the ball being loose. 8-)

Holy Moly! This whistle is loud and in gets attention! Thanks for putting up the new design! I hope to see other cool stuff from you in the future. :)

any chance you will share the design file? possibly .scad... ;)

I cant export that file type. Not sure out of what I can export what is the most useful.

tried it. indeed, pie comes off quite nice !
