This is a remix of the original Quena model by Banooga: Thingiverse link

I have modified the mouthpiece, adjusted the lengths of various sections to improve tuning, and merged some parts to have less of them for a more sturdy feel and better aesthetic.

Perfect for 3D printing enthusiasts who want a playable Andean flute.

 

I recommend to at least superglue the stem and finger holes sections, the bottom cap and the top mouth piece can be left unglued, at least it does work in my case but if you find out some air leak, then glue them too.

Update:
Due to sagging when printing the Quena vertically, the finger holes are not totally round. This does not affect the 1st octave so much but the 2nd octave is a bit flat. This can be fixed by using a rounded needle file and file the underside of the finger holes to bring the 2nd octave back to tune. Once that done, the 3rd octave is also pretty clean.

Here is a recording alongside other 3d-printed wind instruments (El Sonido del Silencio / The Sound of Silence):



This is a little short video of me playing a section of Huayno de Mayu by Willy Rios to demonstrate the ability to reach the third octave (G6, A6, C7):
