Description
Here was a fun project, a trombone mouthpiece with a mustache attached! In order to do this, I oriented the length of the mouthpiece level with the bed when printing and used a filament switch. It surprisingly didn't get in the way of playing and has a sound close to that of a normal mouthpiece. Also works for baritones and euphoniums that use a small shank. The mouthpiece was modeled after a 12C.
Printer Brand:
Creality
Printer:
CR-10
Doesn't Matter
Supports:
Yes
Notes:
Use supports "touching buildplate" or you're gonna have a really fun time removing supports from the inside. Orient the mustache to be above the mouthpiece. My printer is just alright at overhangs and bridges and it still came out really well. I'd suggest using at least 3+ walls to increase strength. Use a filament switch to get the colors to pop!
