Here’s a great whistle 3D print file. I can confirm it’s loud as hell, and very easy and cheap to print in bulk. www.thingiverse.com/thing:2933021

Do NOT give people home or business addresses in Bluesky DMs. Bluesky DMs are not currently encrypted. You should only do that in Signal.

3D printers can churn out an amazingly large number of whistles for very little money. bsky.app/profile/scoi...

They're roughly between 4-5 grams each, so to be conservative assume 200 per 1 kg roll if you're not switching colors. You can get cheap PLA for 11-13 bucks, so we're looking at 800-1000 whistles for $50

“Message emidly.08 on Signal to join the effort. We’ll do a quick vibe check then add you to a group where you’ll get assigned whistle requests to fill. Funds are available to help subsidize printing and shipping if needed. Most orders are between 200-1000 whistles.” - @lefttheprairie.bsky.social

I'm making 300 every day at a per unit cost of about a penny a pop. You can't come close to that kind of efficiency buying them premade, even when you factor in shipping costs.

Everyone in our whistle crew swears by “whatever Bambu you can comfortably afford”

If you're willing to tinker and adjust, the Ender 3 is great. Works well, but might need some tinkering that most of my autistic 3D printing friends love about it. But Bambu is the way to go for ease of use. Ender will *probably* work with minor learning, but Bambu should work out of the box.

Whoa, I'm behind on the tech! You can get a Bambu for around the Ender 3 price. Probably the way to go!
