I always got frustrated by individually making tin whistle models so I made a universal parametric version!

I always found it quite a hassle to individualy model each and every Tin whistle tune and its tests so I finally sat down and made a fully parametric version of it. Just open the Onshape File and start tinkering. Either use your own values or what I like to do is use this handy tin whistle online calculator ^w^
— Parameters —
LayerWidth: set this to the desired printing layer width. I includid this so that the labium and some other things will be printed corectly.
Bore: Inner Diameter of the whistle body (I generally like to set it to the optimum of the calculator)
Wall: Wallthickness of the whistle body
Lenght: Lenght of the whistle body from 0 till the UPPER edge of the window! (or if you use the calculator, simply the lenght without tip)
– holes (here C whistle)–
R1-3/L1-3: Hole placement messured from the bottom of the whistle till the center of the hole
R3D: diameter of note D
R2D: diameter of note E
R1D: diameter of note F
L3D: diameter of note G
L2D: diameter of note A
L1D: diameter of note B
WindowWidth: width across the tube (from my experience it should be rather small)
WindowLenght: Lenght alond the tube (the bigger this is, the easier it is to play the low notes but the breathier it also gets)
LabiumAngle: angle of the piece that splits the blown air… usually 20-30° (higher angle = shaper, more focused tone with better projection)
BlowLenght: the lenght of the “tip” (everthing after the window)
Split1-3: splits model at that hight, mesured from the bottom. If you use more then just one of the splits, make sure that you go from lowest to highest number (i.e Split1=100, Split2=150, Split3=200. But not something like Split1:150 Split2=100 split3=200).
I have added some rough tinwhistle designs which I like. Feel free to fine tune and let us all know what the sweetspots are ^w^
happy Printing and tooting.
