We didn’t design this model. It’s a community file from its original creator, and now and then a file has a fault that only shows up when we print it, such as walls that are too thin or parts that don’t join properly. If that happens we’ll let you know and try to fix the file, which can add a day or two. If we can’t get a good print from it, we’ll refund you in full.

Good to know before you order

TPU has a £11.50 print-order minimum. ABS, ASA, PC, Nylon and PETG-CF have a £46 minimum; PA-CF has a £69 minimum. Delivery is shown separately in your cart.

Need a few parts? Add them to one cart. One order minimum and one postage charge cover the cart: £6.90 for standard materials, £11.50 with TPU, £46 with ABS, ASA, PC, Nylon or PETG-CF, or £69 with PA-CF.

Please check the model files include everything you need before ordering. We print the files as published by the creator, so you receive the parts in the model, not necessarily a finished assembly shown in any photos. These are community designs by their original creators; we manufacture and post them but cannot guarantee fitment for your specific appliance or use case - check the original design page for compatibility.

About this print

A wind instrument in the ocarina family, designed to print as a single piece with no assembly or post-print tuning required. The instrument produces notes across roughly an octave and is playable directly from the print bed, appealing to musicians and to fans of games such as The Legend of Zelda. ABS or PETG can produce a denser body than standard PLA, which may improve tonal clarity and make the instrument more resistant to moisture from playing.

Original maker's notes

This beautiful item took a lot of experimentation (and a ton of ABS) to get right... but the final product produces a full octave and then some! No gluing parts together or tuning - just print and play! The latest 60 degree tone hole version goes from a gentle 311 Hz to a crisp 846 Hz. Enjoy!

I suggest printing this in a resin printer so if you have a filament printer, I'd recommend printing this ocarina instead to get better playing performance:

Here's what the original sounded like (367 to 785 Hz): https://youtu.be/0IR7k_Dgxpk

Here's someone testing it who can actually play the ocarina:

(it didn't fare well in his review, but you can judge for yourself the pros vs cons)

December 8th, 2015 update: Here's a mid-sized 4-hole ocarina:

February 2nd, 2016 update: added a V3 with new tone hole which functions a little better!

Sept 11th, 2016 update: modified the tone hole a touch so that you can blow more firmly at higher notes (all holes open) and it makes a good solid sound. When all holes are covered, you'll need to blow more lightly.

Dec 21st, 2016 update: Fixed the mid-seam issue that some printers that use a layer height of .2mm or less may experience.

Feb 15th, 2017 update: I don't know why I didn't link this before; here's a 'game' to help you recognize tones (yes, it has an exciting ending!):

Dec 19th, 2018 update: added my gcode (sliced by ReplicatorG) for those printers that don't like Cura too much

July 10th, 2019 update: added STEP file for charity... (I think) :)

Jan 14th, 2021 update: wow... nice playing!
