Maracas (3D Printed Instrument)

One thing I really quite like to do with my 3D prints is to insert things mid print. What better way to use this than to make a maraca that you can fill with items of your choosing. That is what this instructible will cover, making maracas using 3D printing fabrication technology and some household items to make a silly noise machine.

Supplies

1. A 3D printer or access to one (Check your public library, they might have one!)
2. Some small objects to fill your maraca (I used an assortment of washers and nuts)
3. A sense of party, for when you are finished

Here is a link to my Instructable that goes into further depth on how to assemble and use the maracas.

PLEASE NOTE THAT IF YOU PRINT THIS IN A HIGH TEMP MATERIAL LIKE ABS OR ASA (LIKE I DID) THE LAYERS MAY WARP RESULTING IN A “CRACK” AT THE PRINT PAUSE
