My 3D (Dream Drum Design)

thingiverse

It appears you've shared a comprehensive document on the design and creation of an electronic drum machine using 3D printing. Here are key points: ## Designing a Drum Machine 1. The base holds all other components together via dovetail joints for quick adjustments. 2. A 16-tooth camshaft was designed with flexibility to accommodate different rhythms, from jazz to rock. 3. Two variations in the design exist – one with 12 teeth and another for a 3-rhythm sound machine. ## The Objective of Sound Creation 4. An electronic drum was simulated by mimicking various drum parts such as tom (with differing sizes and inner shapes) and cymbals (using moving parts that create sound). 5. For creating accurate and varied sounds, experimentation was extensive – even altering the shape of hammers produced distinct results. ## Motorization Option 6. There's a proposed addition to allow for motorized rotation using a stepper motor which enables constant rhythms or speed adjustments. ## Further Development in Sound Technology 7. Incorporating electronics through microphones and contact sensors could enhance musical capabilities beyond purely manual inputs. 8. Converting sensor signals into midi-signals opens up the possibility of further processing sounds electronically.
