The pack contains 271 STL files, 26 DXF files and 22 SVG files in total, including alternatives and experimental reed files. Follow the guide for your chosen build; you do not need to print every file.

BEFORE YOU START

Files are the beginning.
You make the instruments.

These are making projects: printing, finishing, fitting and setup are part of the process. The four kits have different material and equipment requirements.

Read the chosen kit’s guide before printing or buying materials. Original files, photographs, instructions and notices remain in their own folders.

Materials and setup

  • Smallpipes: printing material, leather, 6 mm plywood, hose, a chanter reed, hemp, adhesives and specified hardware. The OR1 drone-reed options require hand tapping and reedmaking experience or practical tuition; bought drone reeds are another option.
  • Highland drones: printing material, finishing and assembly supplies, plus a suitable bag, chanter, cords and cover. For E13 reed trials, supply the specified O-rings, screws and blade material, or try the optional printed blade blanks. Bought drone reeds remain an alternative.
  • Practice chanter: printing material, a plastic practice-chanter reed and PTFE tape or hemp.
  • Qwistle: printing material and the finishing supplies specified in its guide.

Some kit parts exceed 100 mm. Check the individual files and guides against your printer’s build volume.

A few practical details

Will I receive an instrument or physical parts?

No. This is a digital design-file pack. It includes reed-body and optional tongue/blade-blank files for both pipe sets, plus bag and bellows cutting patterns for #3DSmallpipes. You supply physical materials and hardware, and any separately required reeds.

Does it include future kits or releases?

This pack includes the four versions named above. Future releases are not part of the offer.

Can I change the colours?

Yes. Choose filament colours for the individual parts. The artwork shows one possible combination, rather than a supplied colour or material.

What if I already own one of the kits?

Sign in to My Lindstruments using the email you bought with. Qualifying paid purchases give £40 credit for #3DDrones, £10 for #3DChanter and £5 for #Qwistle against the £75 full pack, in any combination. Each kit counts once. All three give £55 credit, leaving £20. Cancelled or refunded kit purchases and free downloads do not qualify. Credit applies to one full-pack purchase and cannot be combined with other offers. If you bought under another email or your purchase is missing, contact Lindstruments with your order references for checking.
