About the Tambourine
A tambourine you can print at home. You print the frame and the jingles, the small disks that make the sound. The designer, MaxLayers, says it's designed for easy assembly and great sound. There are two versions. One uses toothpicks as axles for the jingles, for quick assembly. The other uses short pieces of ordinary 1.75 mm filament, so you need nothing else at all.
It was an entry in MakerWorld's musical instruments contest, and makers have printed it over 240 times. The designer's print profiles are on the page. The page doesn't give separate assembly steps beyond the choice of axle. It's under the MakerWorld Exclusive License: free to download and print for yourself, but not to share or sell the files or prints elsewhere.
