3D Printed Baroque Recorder

[Brian_Krassenstein]

Spanish software programmer Aito Esteve Alvarado has been intrigued by the idea of using 3d printing to create instruments ever since he watched one being produced on an industrial printer. After getting his own desktop 3D printer, he began to wonder if he could create his own 'home grown' alto recorder. After 13 hours of printing, a couple of hours of finish work - and add an uncounted number of hours in prep time - he had it. While the instrument won't satisfy those with perfect pitch, it satisfies something much deeper: the desire to make rather than to rely on mass manufacturing. Check out his design and maybe make your own by visiting his contributions to Thingiverse and Instructables; read about the recorder here: http://3dprint.com/88386/3d-printed-baroque-recorder/

Why didn't you edit the sourcefiles to increase the resolution. That will give a much better result. When you install openscad en change the value of fn from 20 to 100 it is much better.

Now if some braniac would make one in 332hz.
