Description

These models are part of the "KontinuumLAB Instrument Kit" project.

I use these models to make "membrane" instruments, using the CNY70 sensor modules from the K.L.I.K., and balloons for membranes. Each unit contains 3 printed pieces, one "drum" external structure, one sensor holder and one membrane holder. The height of the sensor can be adjusted.

For full description / explanation, go to the KontinuumLAB YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCSvGhrAVvAKpWMsooCTBWZQ. This is the video about the membrane instrument specifically:

All of the KLIK instruments are meant to be built using the KontinuumLAB Instrument Kit electronics. The use of 3d printed parts is optional, all instruments can be hand-made as well. I will be selling the "K.L.I.K." kit, as well as instruments based on it, in the webshop at: www.kontinuumlab.com

The 3d-printable parts include: mouth pieces, breath sensors, self-flexing melodica keys, wind instrument keys, structural pieces, end pieces for making boxes, membrane instrument "drums", string instrument fret-board sensor bases and even a fully 3d-printed MIDI ocarina.

The KontinuumLAB Instrument Kit is still under development, more detailed descriptions, as well as updates and more designs will be published right here.

Materials and methods

I print all of these in PLA using my Ender 3, FDM machine.
Layer height 0.2 or 0.28 mm
Support is needed for some pieces, some need to be rotated before printing
Most pieces are meant to be combined with other materials to make the finished instrument. My versions of the KLIK instruments use mainly corrugated cardboard or polypropylene.
