3D mannequin description
The design is supposed to look as clear and easy as potential whereas nonetheless trying like a whistle. It was additionally designed to be simply gripped with thick gloves or chilly arms. It has a raised lip on the underside and grips on the highest to will let you maintain it securely in your mouth even if you’re blowing as laborious as you may. There’s a gap within the again for a key ring or lanyard so you may put on it round your neck or connect it to your zipper or keychain.
One other big focus in designing this was to make it printable in a single piece with no helps or rafting. I needed somebody to have the ability to print this earlier than going for a hike or one thing with no meeting, cleanup, or fuss of any sort to get it prepared. Simply print and go!
The whistle truly has two barely totally different tones produced on the identical time by separate chambers on both aspect. The 2 totally different tones alternate between amplifying and canceling one another out. This variation creates the shrill sound very like a pea whistle that’s extra consideration grabbing and doesn’t get misplaced as simply over background noise like a single tone whistle may. Not like a pea whistle nonetheless it doesn’t jam if blown too laborious and won’t freeze up in chilly climate. I examined the amount with my decibel meter and it reached 118.7db. The tougher you blow into it the louder it’s so somebody with a stronger lung capability might attain louder ranges. Watch out it might harm your ears slightly bit at that stage.

I began designing and printing prototypes from the day this problem posted realizing subsequent to nothing about how whistles work. By means of many hours of analysis and testing and fixed trial and error I produced a whistle that I’m very happy with. It took 29 tries however this whistle met all of the objectives I got down to obtain.
