Rose Fetish/Figurehead for Native-American-Style Flute by towerdweller

Last crawled date: 3 years, 1 month ago

I printed 3D-DS's Native American Style Flute and it came out beautifully! Now to print the final piece, this remixed rose-thing, and see if it actually plays..... I printed my flute at 125% scale because PianoTinker said (here: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1667179 ) that at that scale it would be tuned in B♭m. Wouldn't it be nice if this massive 3D-print actually plays NOTES?!! :D
I call it 'massive' because I'm operating on a Monoprice Mini Delta------which has about a 4.5'' built-area. I had to chop 3D-DS's flute model up into 7 pieces!! Fortunately, the just-plain-old-normal Super Glue I used to put it all together seems to be holding incredibly well; I already sanded the whole thing velvety smooth, and that should have been extremely rough on all those glue-joints.
On ultra-fine settings, the seven parts of the flute's body alone took an accumulative 60-ish hours to print, and Cura is telling me that this 'topper' is going to take another 18 or so. :-\
Definitely overkilled it. >:-3
Sadly, it's probably just a glorified plastic recorder flute..................
At least I've learned a lot from this project. :D
