Khoi - PROPOSED COLABORATIVE Project

MY PROJECT IDEAS

Printing 3D models for Modular Flute

Refined Questions (research tied to specific processes and outcomes) :
What are the ways to make instruments?

How many ways can I make sound musical?

Should it be physical/analog sound or digital sound?

Should it be physical or a synth?

What type of instruments should it be?

Week 2: 3D Designing

Week 3: Finalization

Week 4: 3D print first prototype and testing

Week 5: Assemble final product

Team Roles
Eric Doan: Bottom Flute
Siraj Soliman: Mouth Piece
Khoi Nguyen: 2 flute pipes (flute body)

my role

My role is to create the middle part, the two pipe flute, one with holes and one without holes

Initial Model design of the flute

using flutomat to get the right measurement

Using calculation to create the flute holes for g minor pentatonic

i SLICED the pipes IN makerspace

I sliced it, and sent it over to the people at maker space.

Something is missing on the top,

it's a little slot that allows it fit in the mouth piece.

Flute pipe with holes

slicing and printing my teammates

siraj's part

assembLy

slicing and printing eric's part

Slicing Eric's Bottom flute prove difficult, and people at maker space was unable to print due to overhangs and error.

final slicing of eric's part

I adjusted the model so that it is better sliced by importaing parts of the model seperately. Unfortunately, it's been a da since I submit print request with my own filament.

Here's what the 3D printed bottom flute look like

no sound coming from the mouth piece

There's two possibility for this, one is the chamber still have support, the support doesn't completely block the air though. So must be the air path is not narrow enough to create a whistle noise.
