Hand Pumped Single Octave Pipe Organ

thingiverse

This is a fully functional musical instrument designed specifically for use in 3D printing technology. A pneumatic system, often referred to as "wind," drives the organ by channeling airflow from the pump through valves connected directly to keyboard keys. Each valve can be either closed or open depending on whether it's been attached securely at its designated spot below a pipe; if this were not done carefully then sounds might become garbled because of mixed-up wind flowing unevenly throughout every tube used in music making processes going back hundreds years! However, whenever someone plays notes correctly using only special sticks which look similar to normal keys found elsewhere within buildings dedicated mainly towards producing sound without touching anything physically - then specific frequencies get released based off where there's hole(s). So far I haven't designed any new "discs", these tiny circular objects allow different melodies being performed while keeping constant rhythm all around so feel free help design some now we'll share knowledge! To begin simply select preferred tunes then submit here today I'll make them workable within hours afterward printout given afterwards please note printing materials used vary depending user choice usually anything flexible works perfectly though still require proper preparation. Each step of making a pipe organ required several rounds of improvement before perfect outcome was reached. Originally, bellows were intended to be part of system but flexibility became major obstacle requiring more flexible material; eventually giving up idea as PLA isn't capable meeting desired specs (file requests available if anyone wish trying printing different type). At first, airflow channel designing wasn’t particularly challenging – it’s just organ play single disc - suddenly after coming up another thought complications ensued due complexity increased. It took plenty of adjustments until proper springs returned back closed state naturally under user force application needed significant time tweaking mechanism working perfectly throughout process until reaching end result successful outcome after lengthy struggle finding correct ways achieve precise balance necessary allowing functional parts integration together seamless workflow without issues arisen previously caused inefficiencies present throughout initial development stages. Key elements such as airways must maintain smooth surface area where possible; otherwise uneven flow occurs disrupting expected musical tones creating disharmony within listener's perception. **Printing Requirements** Following materials required printing this magnificent instrument successfully: Wind Supply: 1 x Mouthpiece 1 or 3 Pieces - Pump 1 Piece - Pump Base 4 Valve Parts A 2 Pieces Valve Part B Linker Part 8 Keys (for each one create new design considering varying heights) 1 Organ base (all other objects attach directly below this piece) Key and Valve installation guides included within the documentation found above
