The concept for this part emerged several years ago when I aimed to design a musical instrument tailored specifically for FFF-machines. This whistle is one result and applies the 45-degree rule to recorder instruments' windway, window, and labium structures. The space-saving design enables two similar structures to fit within a single beck. Moreover, the 45-degree orientation creates a significantly sharper labium compared to horizontal or vertical orientations when using FFF-technology. Thanks to this design, the whistle produces a loud and bright high-frequency tone with minimal blowing required (Hz-scale analysis is pending). Placing your finger on the bottom hole of the whistle generates a lower tone. Rapidly opening and closing the hole while blowing creates a small bird-like chirping effect. You can access a video showcasing this whistle's capabilities on YouTube at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Kil1Dhpi6W8. Model updates include: January 18, 2020: A modified version for SLA has been added to the downloadable materials.
