Turkey Call

thingiverse

I was watching this YouTube video on how to make a turkey call from a prescription pill bottle, and it's quite impressive. The creator uses a body printed from a 3D printer and a latex or nitrile glove as the main components. To create this device, you'll need to cut a square out of the palm of the glove and a couple of rings out of one of the fingers. Then, stretch the square around the opening, leaving a small gap, and use the finger ring to hold it in place. The finger ring should fit snugly into the groove designed into the body. I designed these parts using TinkerCAD, and I realized that creating this device is relatively easy. All you'll need is a latex glove to cut a piece out of and attach over the top. I also designed caps to fit over the top and bottom, as well as an o-ring made from NinjaFlex or another flexible material. I haven't tested these designs yet, but I plan to print them on the shop's Zortrax 3D printer soon. The fit of the caps may not be perfect at this point, but they should work just fine. Update: I've since tested the first design and found that it produces a call that's too high-pitched. So, I've adjusted the design to increase the diameter and shorten the length, ditching the top cap idea altogether. Version 2 is currently printing, and I'm excited to see how it turns out.
