Whistle with pea and lanyard loop

thingiverse

I remixed DarkAlchemist's Whistle with Solidworks 2014 source (the version with a pea inside, a fantastic design!) to add a lanyard loop that doesn't require support. This is my go-to print when I am introducing people to my 3D printer because its shape is familiar; they get to see long bridges on the final layers (bridging is very impressive); and when it's done you pop the whistle off the bed, put it in their hand, and enjoy the look of amazement on their face when they blow on it for the first time. This whistle is also a more practical colour-test object than a boring old cube. I do a lot of fieldwork with students and volunteers, and I just give each of them one of these whistles and it doesn't matter if they lose them or take them home. Print Settings Rafts: No Supports: No Resolution: 0.2 Infill: Any Post-Printing Poke the pea to free it from the whistle's wall. Changelog 20 Feb 2016 Initial release.
