3D Printable Harmonica

thingiverse

This is a 3D printable harmonica that can be printed out of plastic. It is based off of a real harmonica in the hope that it will be able to play like a real harmonica.

The top and bottom casings and the top and bottom reed plates are the same design, only they are rotated as shown. Exploded Assembly View How I Designed This My class did this a project. We planned, designed, and presented our designs to the class. In my research, I discovered that all of the harmonica parts (even the reeds) can be made out of plastic. I based my harmonica on an actual harmonica, taking dimensions (with some changes to fit the constraints) in the hope that it will work.The presentation went well, and I would have been able to print it, but my design was too complicated. If it can be printed, I believe that it will work and be very loud. Casing Drawing Comb Drawing Reed Plate Drawing
