Make of Day; Safety Whistle

I had a request to make a loud safety whistle with my Printrbot simple with the Raspberry color PLA (I have had silver PLA for a week now and everyone just likes requesting this raspberry color PLA.)

I also did shoot some video of this print with my mobile phone, because  I wanted to see how it would do at bridging. The overall quality very good, however there a slight defect at the first bridge section. I notice the fan did not kick on high until after it did the first bridge section. If it did it would be prefect. Here a video (edited down) of the whistle printing.



The whistle works like a charm and is very loud. Print details: material PLA, Layer height 0.2mm, 100mm/ minute 15 minutes print time and $0.04 material cost.

It one of those prints where  all the parts move. Its kind of useless to me cause it a toy. I just wanted to see if it did indeed move after printing. and well it does.

I printed it at 0.2mm layer height at 60mm/ minute. Printed with Raspberry PLA plastic. Printed on the printrbot simple (2014) Thingiverse Item : http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:241790 Designed by Quincy http://www.thingiverse.com/Quincy/designs
