Single Print Ocarina

prusaprinters

<p>This beautiful item took a lot of experimentation (and a ton of ABS) to get right... but the final product produces a full octave and then some! No gluing parts together or tuning - just print and play! The latest 60 degree tone hole version goes from a gentle 311 Hz to a crisp 846 Hz. Enjoy!</p> <p>I suggest printing this in a resin printer so if you have a filament printer, I'd recommend printing this ocarina instead to get better playing performance:</p> <p><a href="https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1184228">https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1184228</a></p> <p>Here's what the original sounded like (367 to 785 Hz): <a href="https://youtu.be/0IR7k_Dgxpk">https://youtu.be/0IR7k_Dgxpk</a></p> <p>... and a baseball classic: <a href="https://youtu.be/EPKkUctNxvs">https://youtu.be/EPKkUctNxvs</a></p> <p>Here's someone testing it who can actually play the ocarina:</p> <p> <figure class="media"> <oembed url="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hpHMm_aX1oA"></oembed> </figure> </p> <p>(it didn't fare well in his review, but you can judge for yourself the pros vs cons)</p> <p>Here's another test: <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qdTteZ5cnD8">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qdTteZ5cnD8</a></p> <p>If you print this, please kindly click "I Made One" and share pictures and videos! I love that stuff!</p> <p>December 8th, 2015 update: Here's a mid-sized 4-hole ocarina:</p> <p><a href="https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1184228">http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1184228</a></p> <p>February 2nd, 2016 update: added a V3 with new tone hole which functions a little better!</p> <p>Sept 11th, 2016 update: modified the tone hole a touch so that you can blow more firmly at higher notes (all holes open) and it makes a good solid sound. When all holes are covered, you'll need to blow more lightly.</p> <p>Dec 21st, 2016 update: Fixed the mid-seam issue that some printers that use a layer height of .2mm or less may experience.</p> <p>Feb 15th, 2017 update: I don't know why I didn't link this before; here's a 'game' to help you recognize tones (yes, it has an exciting ending!):</p> <p><a href="http://www.eenerd.com/JuliusStuff/Ocarina/story.html">http://www.eenerd.com/JuliusStuff/Ocarina/story.html</a></p> <p>Dec 19th, 2018 update: added my gcode (sliced by ReplicatorG) for those printers that don't like Cura too much</p> <p>July 10th, 2019 update: added STEP file for charity... (I think) :)</p> <p>Jan 14th, 2021 update: wow... nice playing! <a href="https://rumble.com/vcqbfv-resin-3d-printed-3e8-6-hole-ocarina.html?mref=esn2l&amp;mc=616dt">https://rumble.com/vcqbfv-resin-3d-printed-3e8-6-hole-ocarina.html?mref=esn2l&amp;mc=616dt</a></p> <h3>Print Settings</h3> <p><strong>Printer Brand:</strong></p> <p>MakerBot</p> <p class="detail-setting printer"><strong>Printer: </strong> <div><p>MakerBot Replicator</p></div> <p><strong>Rafts:</strong></p> <p>No</p> <p class="detail-setting supports"><strong>Supports: </strong> <div><p>No</p></div> <p><strong>Infill:</strong></p> <p>10% to 100%</p> <p><br/> <p class="detail-setting notes"><strong>Notes: </strong></p> </p><div><p>No supports necessary, just print as is, where is. I used 10% infill for all of the ones I've ever printed, however you'd probably end up with the sharpest sound if you went 100% (and added acetone vapor treatment). Nonetheless, it plays right off the build plate.</p></div> </p></p> Category: Music
