Tuba Mouthpiece - Comfort Model

thingiverse

This is an approximation of a Tuba Exchange Rose Model LS, internally. Several modifications were made to compensate for the fact that it is 3D printed, and the surface will be rough, primarily by widening the throat. Due to the need for printing 100% infill, I created a low-volume version that uses less plastic but sacrifices little rigidity. The "-2" files have smaller throats, allowing less air to be used. The -2 lightweight is not as light, and more rigid than the regular lightweight, as well as having a narrower throat. The "lightweight-3" design is simply my personal favorite, with extra ribs where they are needed and a cup wall thickness of only .03" rather than .05", or with standard mouthpieces that you can buy, .25" or greater. There is also a rib_test file that is a small piece you can use to determine if your printer can print the fine ribs that are necessary.
