Pocket/travel willow flute (sälgflöjt) v2 update!

thingiverse

V2 update! Silver is (Not quite the V2, but V1½) and brown is the v1 file! (more info at bottom for differences, and most of whats typed here applies to the V1) Tired of only getting to play the sälgflöjt in spring, AND not conveniently being able to travel with it? Luckily there is a guy on the internet (me) that is working to solve that issue! This robust flute is small enough to fit into the pockets of cargo pants, and tough enough to be taken hiking and other adventures! The sound quality isnt as good as my longer, more traditional shaped one, but it still sounds good enough for a camping buddy to play by the fire without worrying about your long, traditional version snapping or getting stepped on when you set it down to stoke the fire (ask me how i know ^^;). but this is RV1 (released version 1), and i hope to improve upon the design in the future. The RV2 version sports a lanyard hole, and a more modern rectangular whistle airway as opposed to the more traditional D shaped one. I also removed the internal supports (they were not needed), and cleaned up some of the tube bodies curves to restrict the airflow less. i also chose to relief carve the"pocket willow flute/fickstorlek sälgflöjt" engrossment instead of having it embossed so as to make the art/design more consistant throughout. PRINT RECOMMENDATIONS See the (yellow coloured) picture for printing orientation (flip it so that the hole you cover when playing is on top). you shouldnt need any supports, raft is up to you. Id go with at least 3 or 4 layer wall thickenss, and likely 25 to 30% infill or more. the one i printed was only 20% since i was running low on material, and it was a little sketchy. ! do recommend breaking it in with some hard blows, and filling it with water completely a few times and emptying/blowing it out; maybe take a shower with it XD. i dont know why this worked, but it made mine sound a looot better.
