Timple (Cuerpo)

thingiverse

Big thanks to Oliver Gonzalez for the Timple model, which I was able to download here: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2877105 I was able to print out the instrument that my partner in the orchestra plays, and it's amazing. But the post-printing finishing required old masters tricks, several days of gluing PLA, that is exactly one time pleasure. Thanks to David, he inspires me, in this case I took advantage of his idea of printing the case as one piece. You can see more about David's idea here: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3131400 In my opinion, all other parts of the instrument need some work. I need to add structural integrity, reliability of the assembly and overall rigidity of the instrument. Using 3D printing technology, it is very important to understand and use its features, advantages, and move the limits. When creating familiar things from unusual materials or using new technologies, it is necessary to change the production process and add, perhaps non-obvious processing methods, for example, annealing a finished PLA object after printing is completed. Annealing is a type of heat treatment that consists in heating to a certain temperature, holding for a certain time at this temperature and then, usually slowly, cooling to room temperature. The purpose of annealing in FDM printing is to relieve internal stresses, improve the microstructure, and achieve greater material uniformity in each layer.
