Pokeflute

I was making some Snorlax Google Nest holders for a coworker and I was asked about a pokeflute. I found this one on Thingiverse but it looked problematic when I put it in the slicer. Since it is basically a bunch of geometric shapes, I went and modeled it myself from scratch.

Unfortunately, this model also doesn't “work.” Covering some of the holes and blowing will change the pitch, but it doesn't play like a flute or whistle. It's just a different pitched exhale. Normally I'd restrict my models, but I would legitimately like to see a remix that works like a recorder on this basic frame.

Either way, it is a fun little trinket.

As a note, I printed this twice with supports. I haven't attempted without supports because I'm not sure it can since there are a couple of overhangs. When printed with supports, it also prints a support down the center which I remove by inserting a deburring tool into each hole and pushing the support downwards until it releases and falls out through the bottom.

I am including two profiles: One that uses 2 AMS units (as I printed on my P1P+2 AMS) and one that features for the A1 Mini (and the A1 for that matter) with the AMS Lite with a pause added to replace the white with orange.

Model was printed exclusively with Printbed filament: White, Red, Yellow, Black, and Pumpkin Smash (a limited color from October 2023 that completely sold out). If you are interested in picking up some Printbed filaments, please feel free to use my affiliate link.
