TeleTunes Octo Tune Major Flute / Whistle (F#)

Model Overview & Print Notes

See it in action: https://youtube.com/shorts/JtJkeWq4clk?feature=share Curved Flute This curved wind instrument is not only sounds great - but it's fun to play! Its unique twisted shape also makes it compact and durable. It's printed flat on the bed (holes down) and prints without any support. This particular model is an F# Major flute. I offer smaller and larger sizes, as well as a drone version, which you can find in my shop . Playing Experience This instrument plays similarly to a Native American flute or a penny whistle. The fingering is straightforward—you open the holes one by one from the end of the flute upwards to play the scale. Due to the twisted bore, the top three holes are inverted. Personally, I greatly enjoy the unique and compact design of this flute and find it a joy to play. Printing Tips 3D printing wind instruments can be tricky, and results may vary. Small imperfections or dimensional inaccuracies can significantly affect the final outcome. Even with the same machine, settings, and filament, multiple prints can yield different results. 3D Printing Settings Finger holes on the build plate No supports required Designed for 0.4mm Nozzle and 0.2mm layerheight I recommend using only dry and calibrated filaments and printing on a well-leveled bed. Finishing Touches Sanding down the wind channel (the part where your breath travels to the splitting edge) will give the flute a clearer sound and easier overblows, but it can also affect tuning. The sound hole and wind channel are crucial for the sound, so ensure they are free from printing imperfections and debris.   Like this?
