Cthulhu Death Whistle

Last crawled date: 4 years, 4 months ago

Important note
When selecting support structure it is ESSENTIAL that you use only the "touching baseplate" option. If you use "everywhere" then the whistle will NOT work as the voids will be filled with support structure!
(many thanks to Lnytns456 for finding this out the hard way - sorry dude!)
End of Note
Just my insane brain at work...I saw the excellent Cthulhu sculpt by filipturz, then a friend told me about "aztec death whistles" and my mind sort of overlaid the one onto the other...so now, you can blow your own elder god...
...would make a nice prop for a Lovecraft campaign,,,maybe dropped by a cultist or similar...and blowing it gives some sort of benefit...but obviously also causes sanity loss and has a low chance of something really, really bad happening..
...if you compare the sound this makes with filpturz' original, it's a little less "scream-like", though I'd still hate to call it a "musical instrument" as the sound is far from pleasant.
It is ESSENTIAL that you print this in the same XY orientation as shown. YOu can revolve it around the Z axis to fit your print bed diagonally, but if you revolve it around any other axis there is internal structure that will NOT print correctly unless supported from below.
Print with a good solid support bed (I recommend Cura Gyroid at 8% density or higher).
