youmagine

The maraca, a traditional Brazilian instrument, has its roots in the country's indigenous culture. Originally used in native rituals, it quickly spread throughout South America and eventually around the world. This printable version of the maraca is designed for use with FDM printers. Its simple design features a low-poly style that makes it perfect for kids. The rounded edges ensure safety while handling. To create the sound, simply fill the maraca with rice or beans and pause the print at 30-40%. Check out videos showcasing rice and beans as filling options. Print settings include PLA, 0.2mm layer thickness, and walls that are approximately 2mm thick with 20% infill. Avoid making it hollow and using supports to print, as they are not necessary.
