Hi Kids,
I would like to show you Banjiolin : a kind of little mixed banjo-violin.
I created this thing to participate of the challenge "Make It Loud". I though, if it is to make loud : it's better to play melody !!
So, I imagined a musical instrument based on the best them : Violin.
6 months ago, my friend Virgile bought a 3D printer (prusa i3) and a sample of each type of filament (wood, filaflex, extruder cleaning filament, ...). A spark sprung from my mind :
Why do not try using a flexible filament for strings and an extruder cleaning filament (kind of rough filament) as horsehair bow ??
I created this to test and validate the explained idea (printed by my friends Mat' and Virgile) and I asked to my daughter Fanette (better violinist than I know) to be the 'test pilot'.
All parts of this instrument are clippable, easy to assemble / disassemble and easy to tidy up
Enjoy :)
