PLA from £6 inc. UK delivery on letter-sized prints. We slice, print on a calibrated Creality K2 / Bambu A1, QC and post.

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)

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…
