About the PVC recorder mouthpiece
A simple printed mouthpiece (a fipple) that pushes onto 3/4-inch schedule 40 PVC pipe to make your own recorder or flute. The designer printed it on an Ender 3 V2 and says other printers may need slight scaling for a good fit. Print it with the blowing end up and the wider pipe socket on the bed. As little as 20% infill works. His video shows how to make a Native American-style flute with it: cut the pipe to length and drill the finger holes.
