About the conch horn
Need to summon a kraken, or just call the kids in from the beach? This horn started as a 3D scan of a real conch shell. The designer hollowed it out and added the internal spiral so it sounds close to the real thing, then merged a trumpet-style mouthpiece onto the top.
It fits an Ender 3 bed after trimming the margins a little, printing as two pieces (top and bottom). There's also a version with a wider mouthpiece. You play it like a bugle, buzzing your lips into the mouthpiece.
