Around early 2020s, he developed, together with Marina Tiik, a 3d-printable Irish flute, optimised for additive manufacturing. The model has been released for free on Thingiverse in May 2024.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eMy remix\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe original flute plays and sounds great, but I found some of its square holes a bit difficult to cover, due to the fact that I have fairly small hands. Therefore, I decided to remix the model, fitting it with traditional round holes. Round holes are far more comfortable to seal, at the cost of being a bit more difficult to print in a clean and smooth way. However, in my 3mf\/print profile I've tried to address these issues, printing the flute at 0.12 layer height, 4 walls. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eI have also removed the scallops originally intended to offer a better grip on the flute: I found them a bit uncomfortable and unnecessary. Without the scallops, one can be a bit more free in hand placement\/grip.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAs intended by the creator, I have so made my profile and remix files available with the same Creative Commons license used for the original flute. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAssembly\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe tenon must be glued into the middle sections, or otherwise secured with PTFE plumbing tape or similar material.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWaxed cotton\/linen\/hemp thread must be used to obtain an airtight seal bewteen the flute joints.
