About the train whistle

Four pipes of different lengths sound at once to give the classic chord of a steam train whistle. The designer drew it in FreeCAD and released it into the public domain. It's one of the more popular whistles on Printables, with several makes posted.

It's a tall, narrow print (210 mm), so bed adhesion matters. The designer's first one came off halfway through, and they had to clean their PEI sheet with acetone before it would print.
