Maraca, an age-old Brazilian instrument, has its roots in traditional native cults and rituals. This rhythmic shaker quickly spread throughout South America before making its way around the world. This printable design is tailored for FDM printers, boasting a sleek low-poly style that perfectly captures the essence of this iconic instrument. The maraca's rounded edges make it a safe choice for kids, while its compact size ensures easy handling. To add an extra layer of authenticity, simply fill the maraca with rice or beans by pausing the print at 30-40%.
