This is a Harmon-style mute for standard-sized Bb trumpets. The mute and plunger (? - slidey-thingy) need some tape to hold them in place. For the mute I used some automotive NVH foam, and for the plunger a little bit of electrical tape.
The sound is a little warmer than the off-the-shelf aluminum Harmon mutes, but with the plunger it still has that delightful tinny buzzy timbre. Plus, with it being 3D printed, you can choose the color and really make them pop during performances.
FYI, I used CNC Kitchen's bumpmesh.com to add texture, and I think it looks pretty nice.
