🥁 Frame Drum – Functional Musical Instrument!

This is a fully 3D-printable frame drum designed for real, resonant sound and playable musical expression. Inspired by traditional frame drums, this model features:

Print in place frame drum!

Optional handle that easily snaps into frame – easy to print and assemble!

Beveled edge for ergonomic grip and clean resonance.

Lightweight and durable – ideal for both display and performance.

Prints without supports! (Brim used on handle, however).

Check out this video to have a listen to the sound. It includes a brief demonstration on how to play the frame drum:

Whether you're a musician, maker, or just love unique 3D-printable instruments, this drum is perfect for your next DIY sound experiment. Use it for rhythmic exploration, percussion practice, or as a unique gift.

Warning: Do be sure to let your plate cool sufficiently before trying to remove the print from the print bed. Due to the thin nature of the drum head, it could tear when attempting to be removed if the heat has not cooled enough to relinquish the grip.

It is recommended to use matte or basic PLA for guaranteed strength. Silk will work, but may result in a slightly different sound (but feel free to experiment!)
