Blowgun Mouthpiece/cup
Description
I Noticed That Nobody Had A Blowgun Mouthpiece Designed On Here Yet So I Decided To Make It My First Contribution. I Have Two Designs Here One With A Cone Shaped Bowl And One With A Sperical Bowl. Blowgun Mouthpieces I Consider An Important Part To Making Any Blowgun. And Usually Particularly Hard To Fabricate Without A Lathe. I Modeled This With Freecad, Because It'S Free, Runs On Linux, Mac'S, And Windows. Theoretically I Could Also Model This With Freescad So That It'S Customizable, But I'Ll Tackle That If There'S Demand. I'Ve Designed This To Fit On The End Of 1/2" Schedule 80 Pvc Pipe, That Most Home-Made Blowguns Are Made Out Of. That'S What I Made Mine Out Of. I'Ve Included All The Files Needed To Modify The Design For Other Blowgun Diameters. I Have Tested This (Version _1), And I Did Have To Sand The End Of The Pvc Pipe A Bit To Get It To Fit. So I Redesigned All The Files (Latest Version Files Have The "_2" On The End. I Increased The Inner And Outer Diameter Of The Connector Piece By 0.1Mm. Mostly Because That'S The Resolution Of My Replicator 2 Makerbot. Now I Haven'T Tested This Latest Version ( _2) Yet, But Intend To Within A Month Or So. It'S Estimated To Print In About 1 Hour 30 Minutes. My Original Design Took Over 2 Hours, So I Did Some Work To Get The Print Time Down. Ok, So I Had Some Trouble Printing The _2 Version. Mostly The Piece Kept Warping And Coming Off The Build Plate. So I Added 2 Helper Disks To Keep It On The Darn Platform. I Also Put Another Fillet In On The Inside Lip, Just To Make Sure It Would Print Right. I Actually Printed This With Ninja Flex 2, Which Is Flexible, And It Really Came Out Nice!
