Mammond (Mechanical Hammond) organ

thingiverse

I was quite surprised that there are so few musical instruments with a keyboard on Thingiverse, while this is in my opinion one of the greater things to make. This organ mimics the way a Hammond B3 organ works, but the electrical parts replaced with mechanical. It doesn't sound as great as a real Hammond, but the fact that it actually makes music with just 2 3D printed objects is quite a nice achievement i think :-) It's designed so that multiple print-outs can be put next to each other. I will create different tonewheel rolls for that purpose later. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3OqtsHXYI9c Update 23 May 2016: This project is now abandoned. In my opinion, the sound is not good enough to invest more time and energy in it. The .max file is now in the Files section, in case someone wants to continue developing this. Print Settings Rafts: No Supports: No Notes: Print the parts in the orientation as-is in the files, DON'T rotate, it will not work. The keys with the front up, the cylinder on it's side.
