Description
The Chameleon Nomad Flute is a fast-to-print piston flute with a distinctive tone.
The flute is specifically designed for portability, with a length of just ~10cm and a ring for attaching a carrying strap.
It consists of two parts and requires only plug connection for assembly.

How to Play:
Due to its smooth transition, the flute is particularly suitable for sounds such as the whistle of a steam locomotive.
To play the flute, fully pull the piston down and blow gently into the mouthpiece. Afterward, move the piston up and down. Overblowing (blowing too hard) can turn the flute into a loud whistle.

Update 06.03.2025: Print in place profile removed
To ensure proper bed adhesion, I added brim ears to the print profile, which are easy to remove and leave no residue.
