A customizable parameterized mouthpiece design.. print your perfect mouthpiece.
This thingiverse thing has several mouthpieces uploaded, feel free to try them or open onshape document down below and change anything you'd like. Here's the naming convention I've created:
Designed this in OnShape. It's an online version of SolidWorks (made by the original creators of solidworks too) that'sway way better. It'sfree to use for hobby projects, so if you need to modify anything and don't have an account go make one of their free accounts.
Custom Brass Mouthpiece document
If you use the CAD, print a mouthpiece, or even go with an alternative: Message me on discord/telegram! I want to hear how it went!
I'd recommend printing this in PLA or PLA+ at 0.18mm high layers or finer. Finer layers equals easier time sanding in the next step
You'll want to sand things down, especially the bits that touch your mouth.
As a project with my dad we're trying out making an oval shaped mouthpiece for better playing comfort.. with promising results! Give it a shot, any mouthpiece with '+2' has an extra 2mm of width, and this can be configured with even more eccentricity.
Please post 'em! Really! Take a quick cameraphone photo of your print in all its glory and show it off! Plus it really helps get this design out there to the world.
Designing stuff is fun but interacting with cool people and hearing about their adventures is better. I can generate any variation / engraving easily, message me on discord/telegram and/or leave a comment and let's make your perfect version. I only ask that you post a make!
If you'd like the CAD or STEP file too, no problem. I've already helped a bunch of great folks! Send me a ping
