After some searching, i found some blueprint online here at archive.org (https://archive.org/details/a-step-by-step-guide-of-the-construction-of-a-renaissance-rackett-manual) and was able to build a model from those in Blender. Made a few test fit prints, did a few more prints, and a dozen or so failed reeds later, i have a functional instrument! Here is an example of it being played https://youtu.be/eNRaGNcHZ6k?feature=shared As this is a wind instrument, the tolerances on the pieces that fit together needed to be tight to prevent air leakage. My printer is well calibrated, but not obsessively so. While some of the parts fit tight, they do wear down and loosen up a little bit, but this has yet to cause any tone issues with this rackett. I would recommend against filing pieces down to fit better as that might allow air to leak and will ruin the sound. The reed for this also makes a HUGE difference on the rackett sounding like it should, not making any sound at all, or sounding like a a bin of dog toys being ran over by a steamroller. I've included a reed guide and a step by step ‘How To’ to make your first garbage reed including a troubleshooting section to at least help make this process a little less wasteful than what i went through. Still though, expect to probably spend as much time making your first reed as it takes to print this. I have also included the original blender files, which include the body with curved finger holes, an alternative straight hole version (which is more traditional for how this was originally made), and finally a body without holes cut into it at all for people who want to experiment with them. I figured including the blender files would help other people remix and help make this instrument more useful and generally better. Lets start a Rackett Revolution and revive this sweet instrument! Have fun! Go serenade the world with the wondrous sounds of this renaissance rackett. If you are printing and selling this, all i ask is that you have your customers take pics and post makes on either the printables or thingiverse page, or post pics in the review section here at archive.org. I just want to see other people playing and having fun with it! (All parts were printed on the Creality K1 max using the default high quality settings. Only change was to infill which was changed to gyroid for a more organic infill to accommodate the acoustics of the instrument) Addeddate 2024-09-22 19:20:17 Identifier rackett-20240921 Scanner Internet Archive HTML5 Uploader 1.7.0 Year 2024 plus-circle Add Review Reviews Reviewer: MustafaUmutSarac - favoritefavoritefavoritefavoritefavorite - September 27, 2024 Subject: Hello - Questions from owner of posts of Leipzig Files Hello there my friend, I had been posted Leipzig Files couple of years ago without hope of drawing the Rackett in to STL. Thank you very very much. I want to ask you what kind of material should be used to manufacture with ordering from vendor ? ABS or PLC or PLA , I cant just remember. What is the infill ratio ? What is the thickness of layers ? Did you sand the surface with sanding paper ? What should one to do not to see ugly layers ? What other guys used to print their ivory look prints ? What is the heat of the head and what is the speed ? How many hours does it take to print the rackett. What did you use to print the tubes , are they really conical ? I saw you printed with black and white , what are they ? Which brands and models of filaments did you use ? I see at web some excellent prints and some horrible black garbage plastic bag look, ugly thick layered , no precision prints ? How did you prevent it ? Did you glue the parts , what did you use ? What are the STL FILES LIST to send to the printer ? ALL OF THEM ? I cant confirm whether vendor have a creality or not ? What is the cost of printing at europe ? What is the reed material, brand, model , fill rate and layer thickness ? What is reed printing head heat and speed ? Do you have a sound file ? What is the height and beam ? PLEASE MAKE A LIST OF EVERY QUESTION AND ANSWER WITH FULL DETAILS. thank you very much , thank you , you did great job, welldone. By the way , what is the gyroid infill setting ? What is the high quality setting of creality , what does it mean ? Thank you. By the time , its very important to know whether bores are conical or not ? If not conical , I can buy a 6 cms wide , 20 cms long PVC pipe piece and install not conical medical silicone plastic tubing and make a 5 dollar rackett. I dont know how to figure out the head but it might not be rocket science. May be you can figure out this concept also , this is lot easier and even elementary school children can make. You must write your pages great bass renaissance rackett not only rackett.
