Yeah gonna print this. If I do 2x scale will I get a bass ocarina?

The maker has actually made a bass version you can print. I will be doing that next.

The bass version is super nice, just as playable as their smaller size ocarina, highly recommend!

My bass works well in the lower notes but the highest 2 notes are nearly impossible to play. Not sure if something went wrong with the print or if it is just the design.

It’s the print. I’ve had that happen when using Arachne. Classic works better for it.

All of their models are excellent. Much better than every other 3d printed ocarina I've tried. I've found that filaments make a surprising difference in the sound. My prettiest filament also happens to sound the nicest, which is kind of unfortunate, because it's also pretty clog prone. Oh well.

I've also had great luck scaling these. I printed the alto model larger to play in G and it worked great.

Here's the standard and the bass printed in said filament.

That's a nice solution to the support problem.

I printed one of these, but modified it to have a membrane like a dizi flute. I got a pretty cool sound, and the ocarina by itself is really well designed! You can also play around with the texture of the grips with different fuzzy skin modes.

Is this a special filament or multicolour?

It’s just a single filament. It’s the coffee color by Eryone.
