Toy Drum

thingiverse

This is a simple toy I created for my daughter to take to a class where she needed to bring in a drum. It's just a basic design, but if printed correctly it can actually produce a sound! The `Shell.stl` and `Cap.stl` are the two most crucial parts that can both be printed without supports. I strongly advise printing both with 100% infill because it's not a thick design, so there won't be much waste, and any potential sound may be compromised by an abundance of insulating air in the walls. The `Skin.stl` is what I used to make this a toy and seems to be strong enough to withstand the beating of my 3 and 1-year-old girls! If you want to turn this into a **real** drum then use the `SkinRib (optional).stl` instead of the `Skin.stl` and stretch something over it before wedging it between the cap and the shell. My original idea was even just to use packing tape, but a nice piece of leather should work as well. Finishing it off with some yellow-dyed cooking twine was all it took to give it that *little drummer boy* look. **Note:** The string in the photos is not printed.
