Description

 

Every party needs a little bit of noise - and especially New Year's Eve!

 

Most of all already know the Party Horns you can buy at different stores around New Year's. But it has never been possible to 3D-print one at home - until now!

Introducing the World's First 3D-Printable Functional Party Horn!

 

After nearly 60 iterations and tests, I have finally succeeded with creating a Party Horn that actually produces sound which mimicks that of the store-bought ones, while also remaining easy to print!

This means that no supports are needed, as I have carefully designed the interior to avoid briding as much as possible.
The mouthpiece itself is print-in-place and ready-to-go!

 

Assembly (10 seconds)

While the mouthpiece itself doesn't require any assembly, you might need to free the vibrating pin, by sliding your finger across the top, if your retraction settings aren't 100% spot-on and a little bit of stringing has occured.

Like so:

 

 

The cone is assembled by inserting the pins/pegs into the holes.
Afterwards, you simply drop the mouthpiece down into the cone, line up the pegs with the holes, and pull it a bit, until the pegs pop out and the mouthpiece is secured.

Like so:

Now you simply have to blow into the mouthpiece, and sound comes out - just like a regular party horn!
If sound doesn't come out, or if it sounds a bit “wrong”, you can try holding the pin back for a few seconds to very slightly “bend” it a bit.

 

Print settings / Tips&Tricks

If you're not using a Bambu Lab printer, or if you decide not to use my Print Profiles, here are a few things, you need to know:

  • A brim is highly recommended for the mouthpiece, as it is quite slim.
  • Use 0.4mm wall thickness (This is to ensure the pin is the right thickness).
  • For the “Cone, with Strands”, please use 3 walls at least - otherwise the first layer might not be quite right.
  • I highly recommend using Archimedean Chords as the Top Surface for the cones - this increases their strength significantly when bending, as no lines are 100% parallel to the bend.
  • Ensure your retraction settings are on-point! The pin is printed right in the middle, and it is absolutely crucial that it moves - otherwise no sound is generated when blowing into the horn!

I have only tested the mouthpiece in PLA and PLA+.

The cone has been tested in PLA, PLA+ and Silk PLA.

 

 

 

 

And just for fun, a picture of the iterations and tests I went through (in no particular order):

 

 

Remixing is currently not allowed, as I have quite a few designs for the cones, which I will be uploading gradually.

I do allow you to add your own text on the cone in the slicer - you just cannot upload it as a remix currently.

Great print and just in time for the new year! If I may add something I noticed, theres a seam didn't seal well, but that may be because I didn't have the correct settings or something. Still a great print. Thank you.

Thank you for sharing! Did you use my Print Profile without changing anything? An imperfect seal is often due to retractions settings being just a tiny bit off, so I'm afraid I can't do much to change it (other than perhaps use random seams instead of aligning them) But I take it, that the print still works and produces sound? :-D

yes. just straight from the bambu site.

Replying to @Fusion3D :
Ah, right. You might need to decrease the retraction length on my profile slightly - but it can also differ slightly from brand to brand, or even roll to roll, I've found, so maybe trying out a different roll of filament could yield different results. But I hope they still works fine, so you didn't end up wasting filament and time :-)

I'm so stoked to hear it works for you! I was a bit worried it wouldn't work on other printers, since the precision has to be quite high for it to actually produce sound. Thank you so much for sharing!

The print results were rather mediocre. I believe the problem stems from the fact that the lettering is recessed below the surface of the main body.
