Bari Sax Mouthpieces (Open Source)

Three 3D-printable baritone saxophone mouthpieces, designed with Open Mouthpiece, a free and open-source mouthpiece generator. Each design comes with a matching ligature and cap. The designs - Flamma: round chamber, concave baffle, .105" tip opening. Slim, round body with a ringed shank. - Silva: square chamber, rollover baffle, .115" tip opening. Square-edged body with a knurled shank. - Unda: horseshoe chamber, flat baffle with dimples, short facing, .100" tip opening. Spiral shank.

Make it your own Every part of these designs can be changed in your browser at https://opensaxmouthpiece.org: tip opening, facing, chamber, baffle, fit on your horn, lettering and more. Open a design, adjust it and download a new STL. It's free, with no account needed. Source code: https://github.com/OpenSaxMouthpiece/open-mouthpiece Also on Printables (updated there first): https://www.printables.com/model/1884109-bari-sax-mouthpieces-open-source What's included - Mouthpiece: one STL per design. - Ligature (_ligature): a one-piece friction band shaped to its mouthpiece. - Cap (_cap): vented, clips onto the ligature. - OpenSCAD source (.zip): a single-file .scad for each design.

Print settings - Orientation: as exported. The mouthpiece stands on its shank end, the ligature on its front edge, the cap on its rim. - Supports: none. - Layer height: 0.1 mm (0.08 to 0.12 mm). - Infill: 100%. - Seam: aligned, at the back. - Material: PLA or PETG. PETG is recommended for the ligature, since PLA can crack under tension.

These play well straight off the build plate, with no finishing needed. Assembly Put the reed on, slide the ligature over the tip, then push it back a little until it grips the reed. The cap slides over the tip and clips onto the ligature; its vents let the reed dry. Materials and safety A mouthpiece goes in your mouth. Most 3D printing filaments and resins are not certified food-safe, and even food-safe materials can trap bacteria in the small gaps between layers. Choose a material you are comfortable with, wash the mouthpiece before the first use and regularly after playing, and reprint it when it shows wear. These files are provided as-is, without any warranty. You print and use them at your own risk. OpenSCAD To edit the designs in OpenSCAD's Customizer, unzip the source and keep the art and fonts folders next to the .scad files. Under Output, set "part" to ligature or cap to generate those parts. How AI was used The Open Mouthpiece website and its mouthpiece generator were built with AI assistance (Claude).
