3d Printed Drums and Accessories

Richards Makes 3d Printed Drum System.

These drums would make a perfect addition to any drummer's arsenal.

Sizes include 6in, 8in, 10in, 12in, and 13in. Also 

Each drum can use a standard drum head or mesh drum head.  (Or if you’re feeling adventurous a 3d printed drum head)

Drums are printed in PLA

It uses 65mm M5 screws  with a M5 T-Nut.  (I have linked the ones I used.)

I included two different shell heights. 70mm and 60mm.

I used a soldering iron to insert the T-nuts into the bottom “lug”.

Once the t-nuts are in place just find a 6in drum head.  I have used 3 types on this drum and they all work wonderfully.

I have also included an snare attachment.
