Introducing "Plumber's Pipe" v0.1, inspired by Mark Shepard's invention (http://www.markshep.com/flute/Pipe.html). This flute is in the key of G and plays two full octaves. The original design uses PVC tubing. Attempting to replicate Shepard's dimensions using openSCAD, learning as I go. Unfortunately, a lesson was learned the hard way as the .scad file wasn't saved properly (openSCAD saves using F2). A revised version is yet to be produced. Hoping someone can refine this design and ensure it's worth printing. The flute's size can be parameterized with proper proportions, but that aspect remains uncertain. Finally, remember to Compile and Render (CGAL) before exporting as STL.
