Woodwind Reed Holder / Reedguard (parametric)

prusaprinters

This is a parametric version of a reed holder for all woodwind instruments. Currently I have the measurements for the saxophone famlily and the clarinett. If you have access to any other not so common instrument, that could use this reedguard, please send me the following mesures:length of the reedmaximum widththickness of the reed @ about 45% distance from the tip.If the last area of the reed is too delicate, please provide a measurement where the reed can be hold.There is one more feature: there is a ‘bend’ parameter. This creates a slight bending upwards at the tip of the reed (~1.8 mm) to get your reed straiten again, if it did bend like my most favorite reed.I have pre-rendered some common configurations: double sided with 2 or 3 slots. There is also a single side one slot with the bending (in the pics the orange one). Addition 9. Mar. 23: Got a baritone sax reed to measure, my guesses were quite good, only the thickness had to be adjusted. Changed the thickness @45% length to 2.6 for baritone and bass sax. Edit 10. Mar.: Had a mistake with the bend parameter. It worked just the opposite. Sorry for that. Is fixed now.Update 13. Mar.: Added a cutout to get the reeds out easier. Verified the parameters for baritone sax reeds. Baritone .stl now with cutout. The added picture shows a baritone reed holder with cutout.Update 2.Aug.: Added a Alto Single with cutout to the stls
