Case for Tin Whistle

thingiverse

Simple cover for a thin wistle or penny whistle. Protects the whistle while transporting (in a backpack or so). Spiral vase mode! Just print the top/bottom part twice, this should have a bottom wall. 1-1.5mm recommended for stability. One is for bottom (this isn't easy to remove, later), it can adjust the length of the cover and makes them more stable. The other is the top part, it is easy to open and close. The tube-part shoud be printed without top or bottom layers, just a simple tube. The upper end is a bit smaller, to make it easier to stick up the cover. All parts printed in spiral vase mode, and computed for an 0.4mm-Nozzle. Bigger nozzles may make thicker walls, and no perfect fitting. If you want, you can put in top and bottom part a bit foam (with double adhesive tape) to protect the whistle better. In pictures is my Waltons Mellow, fits perfect. Smaller should also. Longer are not an problem, but thicker, maybe. You can test it: just print a bit of the tube part (2-3 centimeters high), then abort the print. This small tube should fit about your whistle. Scaling up/down may work, but maybe, the outer parts will not good hold then, or it can not sticked up. Try it.
