"Brass Qwistle" - Penny Whistle

thingiverse

These files give users two head pieces and one windway, specifically for making 3D printed penny whistles with a narrower bore (15/32"). The Qwistle is known to be a fully-printed penny whistle in the key of "D", and this can be found at http://www.lindstruments.com. The files provided are: BQShort - This is the standard head piece BQShortInchSlide - This is the head piece with a longer "tuning slide" BQFlat - This is the windway that slots into the head piece To assemble the whistle, users should choose and print one of the head pieces along with a wind way. They'll find they push together easily, but it's recommended to glue them using something like epoxy before playing. Without this extra step, leaks can form in various places, resulting in weak or poor sounding whistles. Please take the time to read both Print Settings and Post-Printing sections carefully before making an attempt. Print Settings: No rafts are required, only no supports, better yet - higher layer resolutions like 0.12 or even lower (0.06), completely solid infill prints every single time because we do this here to be certain about sound performance after finishing these parts properly which makes for quality whistles each time they're played. Post-Printing: These files are designed specifically to work with stock brass tubes that have outside diameters of 1/2 inch and inside diameters of 15/32". A wide variety of manufacturers now sell such components at very low prices online - look no further! The main issue comes from placing the fingerholes; simply decide on what scale(s) or key(s) you'd like your Qwistle to be in.
