Description

Print the intricate swirling pattern of the queen conch. Then give it a blow to summon a kraken!

Started with the exterior 3d scan of a queen conch, hollowed out the internals, then modeled a spiral from reference photos of conch shells cut in half. Finally, added a trumpet mouthpiece. With the internal swirl, it sounds almost like the real thing.

This fits an Ender 3 print bed after shrinking the margins a bit – prints as two pieces, Conch_horn_top and Conch_horn_bottom. Also included is a version with a wider mouthpiece.

Differences of the remix compared to the original:
Hollowed inside, mesh adjustments, added a spiral.

Joined trumpet mouthpiece with conch shell.

I'm a teacher starting a unit on the novel Lord of the Flies, so printed this to add to the lessons. Students and I both love it and are having some success making it sound.

Wow, I am really happy someone used the print profile. Your print looks even nicer! (Mine warped quite a bit and I had to fill a gap with bits of PLA waste and super glue. I guess I should give the CryoGrip plate a try...) I am curious how yours sounds. Mine sounds like... the aftermath of a spicy meal.... :D The sound might improve by making the inside smoother somehow.. Maybe by coating it with some epoxy resin or lacquer... idk. Have a great day! :)

That's so cool, and ironically, I found this conch design because I needed to wear a piggy costume for school.

I was asked to print this by my son for his wife who I believe needed it in a play, I reduced it to 80% of its original size, needless to say that she was over the moon, and I think its worth two boosts, Thank you. Sorry there is no photo, it was whipped away before I could take one, if I get one I'll pop one back at a later date.

Replying to @diodigo :

Just open the default model up in BambuStudio, click on the part, click scale (s) and type 75 in the box.

This is awesome! I'm from Key Largo and we have tons of live conchs around here! You just can't harvest them.... so this is the perfect alternative! I just finished printing it. If I size this down are their issues? Have you tried PETG? And I used the .6 High Flow on my P2S.... would it be better or just quicker with the .8?
