Octo Harmonizer Tune - Major Scale
Couldn't load pickup availability
This unique drone flute is not only shaped interestingly - it can also play many different harmonies - not just a fixed drone note and a scale! It has a loud clear sound and it can reach multiple octaves, and produce some really unique flute harmonies and melodies.
It comes in two different keys G and C Major. The G is really small and can easily fit the smallest of pockets - the larger C can also be easily pocketed, but does require avarage/avarage+ sized pockets.
Printing Settings
Most print failures are caused by windway bridging. If a print fails, put a light at one end of the windway and look inside the windway; clear any debris blocking the airstream.

The holes don’t print so nicely like on video and I print on Bambu P1S with .4 nozzle also drone not sounds so good. Maybe I try print different filament company and make printers slower?
I cant understand how the holes would not print properly - I'm thinking dirty build plate? The sound issue with the drone is likely caused by loose threads inside the windway - there's a video on the fag page that talks about how to fix the issue: https://3dprintableflutes.com/pages/faq#non-collapsing-designs
I also make whistles and flutes so I tried a 3D printed version too. Unfortunately something went wrong. The first print was not making any whistlelike sound, so I filed the windway and the edge of the emboschure hole but was not enough careful to leave the geometry unchanged. The second print has some sound of the second octave but very weak. The first octave does not sound anyway. (The printing direction is OK and I have filed carefully the windway so the geometry has not changed.)
Very difficult to play. The right chamber is super unintuitive and getting the proper breath pressure is very difficult, but when it all falls together it makes such a beautiful sound! Definitely gonna try to get better at it. (And maybe reprint in PLA instead of PETG)
It seems strange that the right chamber would play differently than the left one - with all holes closed they should be identical to play. I suspect there might be a loose thread inside the windway (you can see inside by looking into the windway with a light source). PrusaSlicer-based slicers sometimes start the layer (nro 11) that closes the windway in mid-air, leaving a loose thread inside. (rotating the model or changing seam location will fix this as it will most propably start printing on another location on layer 11)
Neat little flute! It fits perfectly even in a girl-sized pocket.
