I noticed something that could make a big difference. If you look at @3:24 you can see the z-seam alignment is going right into the window. You want the edge of the bevel to be as clean as possible, and the z-seam will mess that up. In your slicer you can configure where it puts the seam. Personally, I would make it on the 'bottom' of the head (180 deg opposite to the opening)
Always glad to see new stuff from you~ Just a lil idea- you could always sell the plans and let us build the sets ourselves. Just sell the 3d printable parts for those of us who don't have access to 3d printers, and let us cut the pipes and experiment with the lengths too~
Incidentally.. a good document to read if you are interested in the effects of different sized windows and windways in flute (or, in this case, pennywhistle) design is Guido Gonzato's "Low Tech Whistle" guide. I'm sure Nicholas is familiar with this, but many here probably have not read it yet. I don't have the URL handy but it should be easy to find if you do a search. Interesting coincidence - Dr. Gonzato teaches geology, and so do I. 😁
Love your vids. I have no musical ability whatsoever, but that doesn't diminish my respect for your skills, or my enjoyment in any way. I'm delighted that you're still finding ways to maintain your enthusiasm! Bravo!
For overtone flutes I like channels that start wide and taper, I feel they are more precise, because I can control air flow more accurately at lower velocities which then get accelerated very precisely without introducing turbulence. I got the design from Aztec flower flutes that have very long tapering channels. Also, the angle that the air strikes the bevel is important parameter. I also again got this idea from the aztec flower flutes where they direct the air into the sound chamber.
I got the A1 last month and it's the most incredible tool for a creating mind. My friend has asked to collaborate on low register whistles made using the "impossible" geometry of FDM printing, so that the finger holes are accessible for all. Exciting times to be be an instrument maker I am planning on using TPU for coupling as well, I believe this will be more airtight. Your videos have inspired me for years, it is fun to converge at a similar place.
Would it be possible to make a deeper note by 3d printing a u shape to bend the pipe back towards you? If that feels too unnatural you could use 2 u pipes so it would look something like a trumpet without the valves. I'd love to hear what a Contra Overtone Flute sounds like.
Awesome as always! You could design some u shaped 3d printed connectors so you can lengthen the pipe back towards you and back and forth. So the length of the tube is longer but your hand can still reach the end. I feel like you would have done this before in your previous instruments. I love that it is such a simple instrument with such a great result!
Great News! Really love your unique instruments and admire your skills! Bravo! My friends and I are working on some new music for your instruments. It has been an inspiring journey of exploring your works.😁
Love to see where this goes, i'm putting together a 3d printer for similar reasons, i want to build a street organ. Will be following your progress with great anticipation!
You should sell the print files! I live in UK so as cool as your product is no-one likes having to pay for international shipping and get bank fees for converting the currency, then import duty fees meaning I have to collect the item from the city distributor (not local post office) just so I can pay the import duty, then theirs the wait. All of that just seems superfluous when I have a 3d printer of my own. Respect your work dude, keep it up.
In my experience, 3D printed long tubes often degrade sound due to all the micro ridges from layer lines, and I'm guessing that is one of the reasons why you focus more on PVC tubes? Potentially worth exploring ASA as a printing material, along with an alcohol mist setup to vapor smooth the parts. Also solves issues of temp resistance and long term deformation of PLA, and lowers likelyhood of small air leaks. Would have to get an enclosed printer though. TPU has some possibilities too, can make improved finger hole seals and slip in place to holes on a tube to dynamically change hole sizes or plug completely on a single tube. That could easilly be done with your A1 and dramatically speed up testing with hole sizes and positions.
This is the perfect use for a 3d printer. Rapid prototyping. Do you have (or can you make) a video on how to make a full size Fujara? I'd really like to make one but I'm not at your level.
Merci je viens de commander. 👍✨J espère que prochainement vous mettre en vente la flûte indienne traversière. La clarinette avec menbrane. Encore merci pour toutes vos vidéos inspirantes
Very cool! I wonder what would happen if you did a split mouthpiece with different shapes or lengths of the chambers, it might make it sound doubled with the micro delay. Fun!
just one thought about how differing the tube diameter will stabilise different ranges.. thinner for shorter smaller higher pipes.. In fipple whistles like Susato they tend to be able to do G in both their diameters
You would probably get a lot of useful information talking to Tin Whistle or Recorder makers. One thing that I've noticed that the better, and more expensive, recorders have a curved windway in the head.
Yes, he probably noticed that he didn't make holes like on a traditional flute or recorder. When playing overtone flutes, the trick is to play overtones. You may also notice his hand that partially closes the end opening some times. To learn more about how to play overtone flutes, please watch his videos about how to play overtone flutes.
There are companies that will do the 3d printing for you. I would try to outsource as much of the work as possible. Whatever you do, make sure it can scale up without it taking over your life. Look forward to your future videos :)
Sort of interested in how this was designed. This project seems to be best suited for a parametric approach, where you can vary dimensions by typing in values for dimensional parameters instead of having to tweak designs by pushing and pulling on lines or surfaces. I can't tell what software Nicholas is using, parametric design only works with the more advanced 3D CAD packages such as Fusion 360 or FreeCAD, and not with simpler packages such as 123D Design (which I use) or TinkerCAD. It's interesting that he prints these parts mouth-down which would necessitate supports inside. When I designed my pennywhistle head recently, I printed it in two parts, which glue together.
Cool experiment!! Was thinking the shape of the bevel formed what traditionally could be made with tools.. But with 3d printing these restrictions are gone.. could there be an impact if it is a more a diamond shape or if there are multiple or any structure present
Salut Nicolas, as tu pensé à vendre juste les embouts, en mode diy? Plus facile à envoyer par la poste et j'ai déjà des tuyaux de pvc qui traînent. Juste une idée :))
oui bien sur, mais il y a beaucoup de petites variations entre les differents arrivages de tuyaux pourtant de meme taille, et je dois imprimer avec des tolerances tres precises, je reflechis a des solutions!
Nicolas goes engineering mode! :) Looks like a good use case for 3d printing for this systematic explorations. And the output seems to be of very good quality, so you have no "riffles" in the plastic that could spoil the airflow, impressive. On the shop: Nice idea..but Nicolas, you are first of all an inventor and musician, you should give the ecommerce stuff to an 3rd party, as logistics is time consuming. I am looking forward to your string instruments, there are some unique sounds with that. In the realm of flutes, I wonder if nonlinear shapes as "Magnetic Showerhead for structured and rotating water with assembly guide" shown in his YT video are may be a use case for 3D printing ? However that was a shower head aiming at "structuring water" not sure if a swirling airflow has attractive sound qualities..but could be interesting! In the realm of overtones you are moving now, may be swirling spiral shapes may add a thing to the sound ?
Very interesting! The effect of wall thickness was surprising! I'm curious about how you're selling your kits. I got into to 3D printing in 2020 with just an ender 3 to help with my engineering degree and designed a miniature shakuhatchi, but never started selling anything. I hope the kits go well!
Wow - that was just what I was looking for for a community music for seniors project. Would you sell the 3D printing file for the overtone flute fipple so we can fit them over PVC pipes? It would be so much affordable for us to do that with mass numbers that we are trying to reach
im confused. How are you getting those melodies without even moving your fingers on and off of air holes? you know, like an actual flute or recorder? I didn't know you could get so many notes from essentially an elongated whistle. not a single one anyway. could you please explain this to us? I will have a look through your other videos just in case you have already explained this somewhere.
Outstanding work as always. I'm curious - do you have some safety for the inhalation of PVC particles? I typically use pipe cutters when working with pipes because they create fewer microplastics than saws, and it concerns me you don't wear a mask and also play wind instruments that require a lot of breath in a space where there are PVC particles from your saw.
Salut Nicolas, 2-3 petits conseils niveau impression 3D, l'infilm en giroïde n'est utile que si tu as des contraintes mécaniques selon plusieurs axes. Ce n'est pas ton cas ici, donc tu peux utiliser un infill plus simple, qui ira plus vite à imprimer. Dans les slicers, il y a une option pour lui indiquer où commencer chaque nouvelle couche. Là tu es visiblement en "aligné", il vaut mieux mettre "aléatoire", ça éviterait les marques inesthétique qu'on voit à 3:25.
hey, Nicolas, I have missed the part where we can get those 3D files for perfect flute) Don't see them on your store) Are they on the Patreon page? If not, consider selling those files through your website or cults3d. I would hesitate buying physical kit given international shipping fees and time, I would buy those files today and have my flutes tomorrow printed). Also, would love the same for 2in pvc tubes for Fujara)
Congratulation on starting this new business, best of luck to you! I hope you will get a lot of Christmas orders and have sleepless nights untill 2025! 😝
Nicolas, qu'est-ce que tu dirais d'une version numérique pour les gens qui ont déjà une imprimante 3D ? Tu économiserait ainsi sur la production et les frais d'expédition.
Hi Nicolas, your videos are so interesting. I have recently started making PVC instruments thanks to you. Quick question- how do you make it so that the flute is "smooth" at the finger holes (especially for side blown flutes)? I find my fingers hurting because the pipe is rough at the finger holes.
Hey, Nicky Arms, Do you think you could make a flute while you’re blindfolded? I’d like to see a video of that. (I mean make one by hand, not with automated machinery.)
@@NicolasBras especially if it's tylynka, an overtone flute without whistle that's played like Bulgarian kaval or Turkish ney, traditional flute from Gucul people in Ukrainian Carpathian mountains. Hard to master, very easy to make)))
3D printed would have saved me sooo much hassle in designing my flute's mouthpiece, I was machining so many bits to get it to work and it's still a bastard to play (looks nice though, I play it in my latest video 😄) I suspect the biggest problem is the curved air channel.
!!!!!! Bruh...stop. You cant be better than all of us, all of the time...like you gotta leave some cool stuff for the rest of us...this is a great instrument.
wait.... wait... could you put another bevel for air split, inside the EXISTING bevel for an air split. Making a single pipe drone? The second bevel might need a little cup and put it back into the body ....
very hard to make two sounds with the same air column, not impossible I have some weird prototypes, but not sure this approach could work...but I would to see the result!
Pure curiosity of a mathematician: I wonder how the geometry of the bevel surface would affect the sound. I mean convex or concave instead of straight flat.
Throughout the video I thought the name of the instrument was the "Overton flute" (as in someone's name). After I clicked on the shop link it turns out it's an overTONE flute (as in, you get different notes by overblowing). Interestingly enough, in Sociology and Political Science, there is something called the Overton Window - the range of policies - or discussion of policies - that is acceptable to the general population at a given time.
résumé personnel : épaisseur paroi 4-5 mm / épaisseur conduit 1.5 - 2mm / longueur conduit 10-20 mm / largeur fenêtre 6-12mm / hauteur fenêtre 4-6 mm/ longueur "hanche" 15-20mm / petites pistes en échange : reproduire des hanches d'instruments à hanche, "en négatif"/"en creux" : clarinette, saxophone, chalumeau... chose que je serais probablement incapable de faire en bois, mais donner des angles, notamment dans le conduit, pour accélérer le flux d'air( plus large entrée de conduit que largeur de fenêtre, de ce que j'ai noté, c'est ici égal) et puisque tu as les longueurs, tu sais donc ou placer des trous, reste à en régler l'épaisseur et la largeur... Intéressant tout ça : la flûte harmonique à trou de tierce, de quinte, d'octave,?
oui j'ai fait quelques tests sur l'entree du conduit plus large que la sortie sur d'autres modeles de flutes, la difference est impressionnante meme sur de petites variations...mais je ne comprends pas encore bien comment ca marche!
@@NicolasBras eh bien ça à un rapport avec la pression et l'appel d'air. Sur un conduit droit, la pression est constante lorsqu'on souffle à pression constante, alors que si le conduit se rétrécit, alors la pression augmente : on exerce une pression constante, mais la quantité de gaz par mm2 de sortie augmente. Or la pression de notre souffle est vitesse de mouvement d'air. Donc le flux d'air sortant est accéléré par la géométrie du conduit. Ca a un autre effet : ce souffle compressé va se détendre dans la flute, et cette détente sera d'autant plus forte que le différentiel de pression est fort, donc plus le souffle sera compressé. Le tout s'ajoutant à la mécanique de séparation des filets d'air. en effet, la flute est pas fermée, il y a une entrée d'air, une butée pour diviser les filets d'air, ce qui provoque le sifflement. Seulement, on a aussi un différentiel de pression plus ou moins fort entre l'intérieur de la flûte et son extérieur, et même si je serais incapable de produire une équation, je doute que les filets d'airs séparés soient en quantité égales, et je suppose que ce différentiel de pression va créer une aspiration, et si j'ai raison, à la butée qui crée le sifflement. Enfin, c'est une flûte harmonique : c'est justement les différentes pression d'air, "harmonisées" par la géométrie constante de la flûte qui créent les différentes harmoniques produites.
Bonjour Merci beaucoup pour vos vidéos Pouvez vous m'aider je souhaiterais monter un orchestre avec des instruments fabriquer par mes élèves (classe d'éveil musical, et mes premières années de solfège) je souhaiterais le faire en utilisant des embouchures plastiques acheté que l'on viendrait mettre sur différents objets récupéré et transformé pour pouvoir créer un petit morceaux avec pouvez vous m'aider ? Merci d'avance
to be fair, it was a lot more distinct in real life, I had to shrink the edit because I can't hear that much too on my recordings...there was so much more analysis of the results in the rushes
Remember the good old days, when you were all about inventing/up-cycling/artistically creating musical instruments... And now, it's all about promotions & advertisements for 3D printers, etc. I don't want to watch advertisements about 'PLASTIC SHAPED OBJECTS' being printed... So, unfortunately, I now have to say GOODBYE to 'another', what was once a very, very good channel, due to the fact that they have 'LOST' their soul to the corporate machine... I will miss you... R.I.P.

Nice Nicolas! I designed a similar printed mouthpiece for Native American flutes. I love the creativity that 3D printing allows us! Cheers!
Nicolas is my guru now.
I made some tries too with native american flutes, so much more hours of experimentation coming..!

Love the use of the 3D printer for the heads, will you be releasing any of the 3D printer files later Please?.
In my experience, 3D printed long tubes often degrade sound due to all the micro ridges from layer lines, and I'm guessing that is one of the reasons why you focus more on PVC tubes?
Potentially worth exploring ASA as a printing material, along with an alcohol mist setup to vapor smooth the parts. Also solves issues of temp resistance and long term deformation of PLA, and lowers likelyhood of small air leaks. Would have to get an enclosed printer though.
TPU has some possibilities too, can make improved finger hole seals and slip in place to holes on a tube to dynamically change hole sizes or plug completely on a single tube. That could easilly be done with your A1 and dramatically speed up testing with hole sizes and positions.

Overtones, my dude. Blow harder and the pitch is higher
just look up the harmonic series
Same principle as how a bugle works
because they try to promote 3d printing: service)))
Look up overtone flutes. You can overblow past the octave to get the rest of the harmonic series: C, C, G, C, E, G, Bb, C, et cetera…
Outstanding work as always. I'm curious - do you have some safety for the inhalation of PVC particles? I typically use pipe cutters when working with pipes because they create fewer microplastics than saws, and it concerns me you don't wear a mask and also play wind instruments that require a lot of breath in a space where there are PVC particles from your saw.
not enough probably, but I'm working on it!
So much variation, and every one produced a tone.
Does print orientation (layer lines and finish) make much difference?

Do these need to be straight? If you bend them, you can make longer flutes.

Hi Nicolas ,that 3D software looks good, please what is it? I try do design ma own fipple for whistle, but im still on process

Those narrow ones would be great for practicing without annoying people
right, practice flutes could be an idea!
Can i buy an STL file to 3d print a mouthpiece myself?
Am I crazy or was there an additional higher overtone (or octave maybe?) even higher than the original coming through on the biggest x axis prototype?
yes when you go extreme on the parameters you can reach multiphonics, with several overtones played at the same time
This might ruin the purpose of the shop, but are you planning to release the stls for free/priced downloads?
I would love to print these with some woodfill filament 😊

@@NicolasBras Thank you!
So... What is your favorite specifications in the end ?
!!!!!! Bruh...stop. You cant be better than all of us, all of the time...like you gotta leave some cool stuff for the rest of us...this is a great instrument.
I just have too much free time...
wait.... wait... could you put another bevel for air split, inside the EXISTING bevel for an air split. Making a single pipe drone? The second bevel might need a little cup and put it back into the body ....
very hard to make two sounds with the same air column, not impossible I have some weird prototypes, but not sure this approach could work...but I would to see the result!
Pure curiosity of a mathematician: I wonder how the geometry of the bevel surface would affect the sound. I mean convex or concave instead of straight flat.
Tell me, have you ever thought about assembling a apprehension engine? But something completely unusual.
Throughout the video I thought the name of the instrument was the "Overton flute" (as in someone's name). After I clicked on the shop link it turns out it's an overTONE flute (as in, you get different notes by overblowing). Interestingly enough, in Sociology and Political Science, there is something called the Overton Window - the range of policies - or discussion of policies - that is acceptable to the general population at a given time.
résumé personnel : épaisseur paroi 4-5 mm / épaisseur conduit 1.5 - 2mm / longueur conduit 10-20 mm / largeur fenêtre 6-12mm / hauteur fenêtre 4-6 mm/ longueur "hanche" 15-20mm /
petites pistes en échange : reproduire des hanches d'instruments à hanche, "en négatif"/"en creux" : clarinette, saxophone, chalumeau...
chose que je serais probablement incapable de faire en bois, mais donner des angles, notamment dans le conduit, pour accélérer le flux d'air( plus large entrée de conduit que largeur de fenêtre, de ce que j'ai noté, c'est ici égal)
et puisque tu as les longueurs, tu sais donc ou placer des trous, reste à en régler l'épaisseur et la largeur... Intéressant tout ça : la flûte harmonique à trou de tierce, de quinte, d'octave,?
oui j'ai fait quelques tests sur l'entree du conduit plus large que la sortie sur d'autres modeles de flutes, la difference est impressionnante meme sur de petites variations...mais je ne comprends pas encore bien comment ca marche!
@@NicolasBras eh bien ça à un rapport avec la pression et l'appel d'air.
Sur un conduit droit, la pression est constante lorsqu'on souffle à pression constante, alors que si le conduit se rétrécit, alors la pression augmente : on exerce une pression constante, mais la quantité de gaz par mm2 de sortie augmente.
Or la pression de notre souffle est vitesse de mouvement d'air.
Donc le flux d'air sortant est accéléré par la géométrie du conduit.
Ca a un autre effet : ce souffle compressé va se détendre dans la flute, et cette détente sera d'autant plus forte que le différentiel de pression est fort, donc plus le souffle sera compressé.
Le tout s'ajoutant à la mécanique de séparation des filets d'air.
en effet, la flute est pas fermée, il y a une entrée d'air, une butée pour diviser les filets d'air, ce qui provoque le sifflement.
Seulement, on a aussi un différentiel de pression plus ou moins fort entre l'intérieur de la flûte et son extérieur, et même si je serais incapable de produire une équation,
je doute que les filets d'airs séparés soient en quantité égales,
et je suppose que ce différentiel de pression va créer une aspiration, et si j'ai raison, à la butée qui crée le sifflement.
Enfin, c'est une flûte harmonique : c'est justement les différentes pression d'air, "harmonisées" par la géométrie constante de la flûte qui créent les différentes harmoniques produites.

Bonjour
Merci beaucoup pour vos vidéos
Pouvez vous m'aider je souhaiterais monter un orchestre avec des instruments fabriquer par mes élèves (classe d'éveil musical, et mes premières années de solfège) je souhaiterais le faire en utilisant des embouchures plastiques acheté que l'on viendrait mettre sur différents objets récupéré et transformé pour pouvoir créer un petit morceaux avec pouvez vous m'aider ?
Merci d'avance
Bonjour, on peut en discuter, vous pouvez me contacter sur nicolasbras.com
This is so cool. The only thing I'd want beyond what you're offering is fittings in inches for us backwards Americans.
2:31 you say 1.2mm and write 2.0mm. What is right now? 😂😂

I guess my ears aren't as good as I thought. I basically heard no difference between any of the mouth pieces, haha.
to be fair, it was a lot more distinct in real life, I had to shrink the edit because I can't hear that much too on my recordings...there was so much more analysis of the results in the rushes
Remember the good old days, when you were all about inventing/up-cycling/artistically creating musical instruments... And now, it's all about promotions & advertisements for 3D printers, etc. I don't want to watch advertisements about 'PLASTIC SHAPED OBJECTS' being printed... So, unfortunately, I now have to say GOODBYE to 'another', what was once a very, very good channel, due to the fact that they have 'LOST' their soul to the corporate machine... I will miss you... R.I.P.
be really carefull to pronounce the "b" of bambu lab
hehehe - this is an ad for 3d printing? these flutes will never work this way:)
Show some respect. Nicolas has been making instruments for years. He shares his ideas freely. And they work.
What do you have to offer?
