Marching Band Drum Tenor Quints

thingiverse

We've discovered some incredible creations here, and we just had to share them! We were unable to find any Marching Band Drums, so we created our own. The drum tops fit perfectly on the small (5%) prints but needed to be glued onto the 10% ones for a snug fit. Fortunately, the carrier hooks worked out well for both print sizes. We're grateful to ThingVerse for providing these amazing resources! **Print Settings** * **Printer Brand:** MakerGear * **Printer:** M2 * **Rafts:** No * **Supports:** No * **Infill:** 0% * **Notes:** The base and hook were printed with no top or bottom layer, while the drum tops had a two-layer print at the bottom. **Post-Printing** We needed to glue the tops onto the large-scale (10%) prints. **How I Designed This** I used SolidWorks2012 to create the model, exporting it as an STL file and then converting it to G-code using Slic3r. The final print was done using Pronterface on a 1.75mm PLA filament at 70°C bed temperature and 210°C hot end temperature. This design is based on a Quint Tenor Drum set and is scaled accurately. We printed the first model at 5% scale, followed by a second one at 10% scale.
