My 3D (Dream Drum Design)

cults3d

I am still a kind of novice in CAD and 3D printing, but I am learning everyday (or at least, I try!) and this challenge was a good opportunity for me to work on a funny project. While speaking with my children about what we could propose, one spoke about a piano, the second about drum, the last one about trumpet… Well, after few hours thinking about a potential result, we converged toward a drum, with hammers as drum sticks, and horn-shaped toms to amplify the sound (noise?). I really had fun to develop it, and to work on some evolution (not part of the challenge !) by motorizing the drum and also adapting a piezo-sensor to link with a midi system (see the "evolution" section) The following is an updated version (first one was presented few days ago..). Main changes are: - More toms and variations in the shapes to modify the sounds - Rounding of the cam bolt's edges to facilitate insertion on the camshaft - added videos and pictures - some fun with evolution of the drum (see the last section !) - 2 versions (for base and camshaft): the normal version to comply with the challenge's rules (max. dimensions 10x10x12.5) and a XL version with 5 tom housings. Update (2016.02.01): Evolutions section: Added link to a piezo/Midi converter. Pictures will follow. Video presentation: https://youtu.be/mHfu1JUAYuEf
