About the Full Size Drum Kit
Drum shells are big, but this kit is designed so you don't need a big printer. Each drum is split into a few large segments that fit on a Prusa MK3 and assemble into full-size drums. Apart from the drum heads (skins) and a set of M6 × 70 socket screws, everything is printed. It was designed in Fusion 360 for the Prusa music contest. It was the designer's first published model, printed in Prusa orange and black.
A floor tom was added later as its own Printables page, and a name-plate mod lets you put a band name on the bass drum. Both are linked below. The snare's tension ring now has custom supports. In PrusaSlicer, use 'split to parts', not 'split to objects', or the supports won't work.
Who it's for. Drummers with a lot of filament and print time. Expect many large prints. An instruction PDF covers assembly.
