Hi everybody,
I`m an engineering student in holland and this month i got an assignment to print something with a 3d printer (prints plastic). It can create a solid shape in allmost any form and is hard an durable (you can throw a printed item on the ground and it wont break)
now i`ve gotten the idea to print an ALTO mpc but this gives allmost limetless options..
forms and shapes you cant possible do with a machine or by hand are possible with 3d printing. The only limitation is my skill in 3d drawing:mrgreen:
what unconvential ideas do you have or would you like to see, and what effect do you think this has on the accoustic properties.
some (crazy?) ideas i allready had are:
these are just a few things i could think of, but i havent got the slightest idea what these do with your sound or ease of playing etc..
hope to hear a lot of creative ideas!
Kind Regards,
Koen

some (crazy?) ideas i allready had are:
- dimples in the chamber which are larger than the shaft so youll get somehwat of a large chamber I was thinking of 3 dimples with a 5mm diameter
- a hollow tube inside the shaft which could be conical or straight or square etc..
- a comletely waved chamber or even a waved baffle
these are just a few things i could think of, but i havent got the slightest idea what these do with your sound or ease of playing etc..
hope to hear a lot of creative ideas!
