So it's been a while since I checked on this video - I apologise for not responding to a lot of your questions sooner. I originally created this design as a proof of concept, firstly to see whether I could make a 3d printed drum which sounded half-decent, secondly to see if anyone is interested or not, and thirdly, to have a go at making a youtube video. I know this video only has relatively few views compared to some other channels, but I really didn't expect anyone to watch this! I'm honestly flattered and I'm feeling inspired to continue working on this project and complete the files for the official V1 design, which will allow you to set the diameter, depth, amount of lugs, and lug spacing for your drum. I have the time and the inclination to work on this again, so in a few weeks I should hopefully have another video for you all :)
I appreciate the shoutout! Love where you've taken things from my design. It's definitely fun to experiment and make tweaks to the design. I had the opposite issue as far as volume, my drums were a bit quieter than my traditional drums. I kind of wish I had these in my days of hotel gigs when volume was always an issue. Looking forward to see where you take this, if you ever want to talk shop, let me know.
No problem! I was very excited to come across your design! That's interesting about the volume of the drum - there could be so many contributing factors at play there. Thanks for reaching out 🙌
I thought the sound wasn't bad just a bit dry. Have you considered making a deeper shell. This could theoretically produce more resonance due to more vibration through a deeper shell. Also, to increase the "cross stick" volume, consider increasing the width on the bearing edge. This should create more contact between the edge and the head in relation to the rim. Just a couple of thoughts.
I always thought quick change bearing edges could be a cool concept. Swap them out like you would your heads for a different sound or try different materials with a free floating style shell but with 2 parts and a shell in the center and some style of quick release lugs that split the drum but keep tension on the heads and you can swap in a different shell material like brass or mahogany.
I'd highly recommend trying out 3dxtech's pla+cf or petg+cf. I find that it gives a bit more rigidity than standard pla and better resonance. At least that's what I've found with my drums. Love the drum, the lugs look sick!
Salut! As tu finis ton projet où tu as mis ça de côté? Je suis très intéressé aussi. J'ai un ami qui a une imprimante 3d, y a t il des plan a télécharger? Merci
If you have limitless bearing edge options Look up guru drums bearing edges they make any brand any wood sound pro. Other than that a vintage feel are round edges You sell yet ? Sell at manufacture price not drum shell retail This changes. Everything
Quite possibly, but it would take a very long time and use a ton of filament. I've been experimenting with printing hollow forms and filling them with other materials, so I have some ideas which might push this project further along very soon!
That's a good question. It's a little hard to describe in a comment, however I'd be happy to show you either with some screenshots of my Fusion 360 file, or a quick video if you email me. You should be able to find my email address by clicking the blurb on my channel page.
Hey! This project/these files are just an initial proof of concept to see whether anyone is interested or not. It seems like there's a few people who are keen to try and make this project themselves, so I am going to work on a version of this design which is scalable to different diameters, depths, lug amounts, and lug hole spacings. It may take a few weeks to get the video done, but I have some free time right now and this is a great project to fill my time with.
What print settings did you use? Infill percent? Do you think 100% infill would solve some of those issues you referred to? What if you did enough layer lines so it was all layer lines and no infill? Edit to add: would you consider doing the rest of the drums? That would take a lot more designing.
Hey mate, it has been a while since I made this, so I can't remember the exact slicer settings I used. I have listed some of them in the thingiverse link in the description. I didn't anticipate so many people being interested in my printer settings, so I will pay much more attention on the next video! I have definitely considered trying to make a whole drum kit using this method. There's a ton of added complexity with deeper drums, especially the kick drum, but I would love to have a go :)
Not off the top of my head I'm sorry! I should point out that I designed these lugs and had them custom fabricated, so I just came up with a measurement that worked for me. I'm not sure whether you'd be able to find lugs with matching hole spacing. I will be releasing a design soon which will allow you to define your own hole spacing though!
In a nutshell it was financial struggle that ended the business. I started the business late in 2017 with very little money. I reinvested all of the money I was making back into new tooling and materials and never really took any money for myself. This meant I was also working 4 days a week while running the business, working very long hours ever day. When lockdown happened in March of 2020, orders slowed to a complete halt, and I made the difficult decision to close up shop.
@@ghiblinerd6196 Ahhh I see. I'd be happy to chat with you about my experience and share some thoughts. I'm based in Australia which has a pretty small market compared to the US, UK, or Europe, so that definitely played into the financial struggles I experienced. You should be able to find my email on my channel profile to get in touch. I love talking drums and business, so let's chat 🙂
cool! if you had a bigger printer, would you still do the drum in smaller parts? I can do 40cm big parts in school printer, and I want to make a snare for my project.
I definitely would love to get a printer with a larger print volume to try to make a shell in one piece. I would still make the bearing edges as removable pieces as it makes the bearing edge quality so much better being able to print them with the edges facing up
Hey there - thank you very much! You can find my email address by going to my channel, and clicking on my channel blurb. This will open up a modal with a 'view email address' button on it. I look forward to hearing from you!

Looking forward to it! Thank you!
I'm looking forward to your next video!
Dude this thing is amazing u got one of the best results i've seen
@@nicolerodriguez7453 thank you! Just yesterday I finally finished printing a whole drum kit 😲 I'll be making a video about that real soon!
@@beau-haldane This ain't pure luck. I'm subbing just to see that vid as soon as possible
I'm doing your build and will be doing a video about it as well. Thank you for doing this. I will give you credit, of course.
No problem, thanks!

Inspiring video!! Thanks for sharing your interesting experiments!! Loved it!
Really cool. Great work on the video.
This just makes me want to 3d print an entire vistalite kit!
That is definitely something
I want to try !
Awesome! Looks great! Nice job! 👍
Thanks! 👍
Amazing work. Could i ask what will be the printing measures for different sizes like 8", 10", 15 " or others? Thank you in advance.

Good ideas! I'm busy at work with the follow up to this project, so maybe I'll try and test some of this out. Thanks for the comment :)
He really nails it @11:35.

I also try to construct the snare drum in Fusion and despair. How did you get the joints and slots onto the cylinder? Thank you very much.

You sell yet ? Sell at manufacture price not drum shell retail This changes. Everything
Pla deforms over time under load, so plz update
LOVED THE VID, BROTHER!
Where can you get all the hardware?
Amazing video!
Brilliant work- highly impressed. I am assuming you will refine, build - mktg these to sell. If so, what price - pt would you look at. ? KB
Do you think printing it with 100% infill would make it sound better?
Quite possibly, but it would take a very long time and use a ton of filament. I've been experimenting with printing hollow forms and filling them with other materials, so I have some ideas which might push this project further along very soon!
Thanks Beau, interesting video. Could you please tell us your snare bed specs, because they are good? If it is a secret, that's fine too.

Awesome!! is there a way to scale this file to make a piccolo version or smaller 10-12 toms?
Following 😊😊 😊

Do you have a link to those lugs? Thanks!
Hey mate, I don't I'm sorry! I designed them myself and had them custom manufactured.
What print settings did you use? Infill percent?

What if you did enough layer lines so it was all layer lines and no infill?

I have definitely considered trying to make a whole drum kit using this method. There's a ton of added complexity with deeper drums, especially the kick drum, but I would love to have a go :)
Do you happen to know what the lug spacing is?
I want to make sure I can get all the parts before I start printing

@@beau-haldaneOkay I’ll wait for that then
In case I missed it, why did yoo stop building drums?
In a nutshell it was financial struggle that ended the business. I started the business late in 2017 with very little money. I reinvested all of the money I was making back into new tooling and materials and never really took any money for myself. This meant I was also working 4 days a week while running the business, working very long hours ever day.

@@beau-haldane ugh. I ask because I’m starting up a company and don’t know how I can do much more than make a kit at a time and sell them on reverb 😔

Link to the stl?
Thanks for the reminder! Just updated the video description with the link, but here ya go: www.thingiverse.com/thing:6242917
What material did you use? Just ordered my 3d printer. This is my first project once I've tested a few things.
Hey mate a used a product called PLA+ from 3dfillies in Australia - not sure where you're based, but any PLA filament will do the job 👍
Really nice job! This is simply stuning!!🎉❤ This tube lugs blows my mind!!! How can I contact you?

Very cool vid! does your design scale to a 8 inch depth
It definitely could. When I finally get around to finishing the fully parametric Fusion 360 file for this project, that will be 100% possible!
