P.s. Use the included Handle for the large 100% model, or else blisters... And use in a safe place, never around people!

Re: Ancient communication tool, BullRoarer!

Any video of it in action? Do you print it 100% infill? How much does it weigh? Good work!

I printed with 100% infill, they both work well, the larger one 100% size is a bit heavy for beginners! I say start with the little one. I do not have a scale handy, but the handle is definately needed for the large size.

I used thin 1.5 mm synthetic string, they say thin line is best. Make sure your knots are well tied!! :° )

Not mine but good video, notice the gloves and handle piece: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=afaLL9BQv24

If I had to print the larger one again, I would try to lighten it to 60% infill.

Thanks, Enjoy!

Thanks,

Ok, the 75% scale model sounds great, and is just right weight wise! I used the handle with it.
