Have us print this for you
PLA from £6 inc. UK delivery on letter-sized prints. We slice, print on a calibrated Creality K2 / Bambu A1, QC and post.
I give you the resonating chamber of the Velociraptor.
Torn from their extinct skull and turned into a music instrument for our amusement.

IF YOU WANT TO DO A BETTER JOB THAN I DID (very likely possible and highly encouraged), you can get the original Blender files from Lacrivilho's version of Karuuv's Ocarina (Karuuv has a ton of Blender versions of the original available as well), and get the STL…
