Printing Settings
If the printer and filament are not properly calibrated, the flute might not extend all the way. To fix this, place the flute in warm (60 °C) water for a few seconds to soften the plastic, then pull from the last segment to extend it. After opening and closing it a few times, it will loosen up and work as intended.

Cool design. Harder to play then other designs
Printed like a champ. No issues on an H2S using basic PLA.
Playing a low whistle requires using the pads of your fingers, not the fingertips, and although I have fairly large hands and can play a proper low whistle with no problem, the holes being in the 'dips' means it's almost impossible to fully cover all the holes at the same time. If you watch the videos, you'll see he's playing with his fingertips and playing the low D note only once, using his pinky (which is incorrect technique, although he mentions this in the description above if you read closely). I should have paid more attention before buying. But still, you will never, ever play an Irish jig or rill on this thing. The techniques will prove impossible. This whistle is a toy, not a playable instrument. Which would be fine, but it's marketed as an instrument and costs $16 freakin dollars for the files. I feel like a fool. Lesson learned, I guess.
I've seen people on youtube playing some of his other flutes and they actually work, but avoid the heck out of this one.
Amazing design! I’m very happy that people like this exist in this world
It was for a present! They loved it!
Great! It sounds amazing!
Unfortunately the piece didn’t really work well when I printed it. Not the fault of the design, but I couldn’t figure out why it wasn’t tight fitting at each seam so that it didn’t sound “windy”.
