Treble (Papp's) Piano Mute

thingiverse

This is the so called Papp's mute or treble mute, that is used to mute the treble strings while tuning a piano. I designed it so that it is printed into two different prints. One is the main body and the other is the tip. This way less supports are needed and also the tips have better strength and usability. The files are given with the optimal orientation to be printed, especially for the tips since printing them this way makes them stronger, (layers are perpendicular to the force) more accurate, (the detail on the edge is important so that they fit between the strings but also not slide out on their own), and smoother so that they can slip easily between the strings.
