Stir Xylophone

thingiverse

Slide in the handle, attach some glue if desired, then manipulate the mallet within or pound on it from outside. I spotted the challenge and decided to hunt down resources to build a fun percussion instrument. I likely won't emerge victorious in decibels, but hard plastic generates a distinct sound when used instead of wood. Changing print angles and infill levels can alter your resulting melody. For inspiration (and demo until mine prints), check https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b0UD3ZLEvsk. Instructions: Utilize 100% Sketchup with Netfabb to tidy up the mallet/stick. Consider using PLA over ABS, as it produces a sharper sound. Experimenting with various materials, like bronze fill, may also result in exceptional prints.
