3D Printed Air-Raid Siren

( Advise volume caution )
3D printed Siren, Designed off the old dual, slotted WW2 design. Everything was made in solidworks, spliced by Simplify3D, Printed on a Wanhao Duplicator i3 printer. Parts done at 0.20mm layer height, 60mm/sec printing speed. Parts took between 2-4 hours to print ( each )
Sounded like a toy fire-truck with one blade. Sounds like a siren with two. Fairly happy with the design, the RPMs on here go much higher than needed, I only pushed it to 50% throttle, and it had no problems. 50% throttle ( to me ) sounded too high pitch / unrealistic. I will eventually arduino a 'Siren wind-up / wind-down' program, and try to mimic the real-deal as close as possible.

[@tylerdavis9820]

This is exactly why I want a 3D printer.

[@gio11138]

To make a 3D siren, because If I had one, I would make a home DSA.

[@Snowcube]

Me too. I am working on getting one at the library for everyone including me to use.

[@bnsfbandit9807]

Tyler Davis Oh my gosh dude you could have a whole system with your smarts

[@Creeperboy099]

Tyler Davis I could imagine what you'd create from that

[@nevaehsmiracleconnieelliot2297]

Wondering if you could make a tbolt 📢 with that 3-D printer

[@armankordi]

You want a B natural and an F sharp chord for these 2 tone. (Traditional sirens ran 60hz AC so the pitches are variable off that 60hz)

[@Creeperboy099]

Arman Kordi Horizontal European sirens like this are usually B and D natural, not B and F

Is this thing still used today or have they switched to sms or something similar to it? Btw where are they located? Never seen one on a roof top and I have been on lots of roof tops. Even some roof tops I am technically not allowed on. No means yes. I do it for the view. Take a drink and chill. Although I have never searched for one.

[@Tocsin-Bang]

Still used in Portugal by the fire services.

[@spieker1446]

My city in southern Germany just recently installed new Sirens all over the city, but those are all electronic sirens and not those mechanical ones.

[@MrDiscoBus]

In my city in north western Germany we have lot of them (Model E57) Used for Fire services or warnings. On the roof of the post office, firebrigade, water tower and on several schoolbuildings....the eastfrisian islands also have some placed on concrete masts around the island. And in my city they start those things every Saturday at 12AM

[@PhxSt0rmz]

I just have to find the right RPM to stop at ( went too high for realism ) and do a fake slow wind-down..

[@TheChipmunk2008]

+PhxSt0rmz Awesome print. There are plenty of air raid siren sites online that you could take sample frequencies from. the Carter is most associated with ww2 here in the UK

[@PhxSt0rmz]

+TheChipmunk2008 alrighty, thanks. I didnt even take the time to notice they are 10+12 slot, i have 8+10 here. I guess it doesnt matter really, since im using variable speed motors..Being small scale, its probably louder this way anyways. Hurts the ears a bit..muffs are nice xD

[@AndrewMurphy8383]

what kv brushless motor did you use and wre did u get the print files to print

[@martinjekov5863]

can i have the link for the 3d model?

everytime i hear this siren anywhere it gets me the chills for some reason

Please release the stl. Doesn't matter if we have to edit, it's better to work from something we know works. You can't just tease us with this! Ta

[@PhxSt0rmz]

Posting complaints on "No files" Doesnt get files. Just proves the community behind thingiverse is fairly toxic and full of freeloaders which is why I prefer to avoid the site at all cost. Learn to design stuff yourself. Dont know how? Great - a 3D printer is your opportunity to motivate yourself and learn how. Telling someone to go F yourself because you dont give away work shows lack of appreciation. The 20+ comments regarding such is 20 reasons to remove this video. This was a proof of concept, a hazard risk of exploding plastic shards that in the wrong hands will cause problems. "Natural selection, let the dumb be dumb" maybe your thoughts? That's not how I play. Shit I release, doesnt come with risk. Pestering/complaining, just makes me not care. This was a long-dead project. Theres 500+ diagrams and physical sirents out there to literally reference. Video status is pending. I dont depend on youtube, I hardly use the platform anymore, I dont do anything for the views. Zero interests, so complaining will easily make a decision of hey, if to doesnt exist then you cant complain ya? Awesome!

[@zandrak98]

Hey, so I've designed one using solidworks. But I have no clue with optimal dimensions and stuff, can u help? I can send u the files for "critical analysis". Im planning on using an ESC to control the speed of the motors

[@PhxSt0rmz]

@@zandrak98 Honestly everything here was all guess work. I know nothing of sirens, nothing of fan designs, aerodynamics, or anything. I just blindly made up dimensions and made-up shapes and chucked it out. The fact it made any noise was a bonus, and I'm suere there's far better ways to go about it, more effecient/louder ways, etc. A lot of the 'impeller' stuff isnt even dimensioned. its just blindly undimensioned "sure looks like google photos I found" winging it lol

[@DCUK6]

Pleeeease share the stl file. Would be awesome to use in lessons!

[@cbeck611]

I wish he would upload the files too thingiverse

[@PhxSt0rmz]

The problem is, this was made for very specific 'what i had laying around' parts, and was not at all made to be 'universal / consumer friendly' where anyone can come along, print it, and expect it to work. This may have generic RC Quadcopter motors in it, but the screws used was literally whatever I had laying around,measured with calipers, works for me. In order to run this, I had the motors tapped into the flight-controller of my quadcopter, and controlled it with a Taranis FrSky X9D remote. So.. its not like I can say 'Buy a 400 dollar quadcopter and a 300 dollar remote, then print this, and do this' Only reason i never uploaded it, was because i didnt want to put time into bothering with peoples 'Help this doesnt fit this motor can you alter this?' Or people somehow failing to construct it and having really high RPM plastic explode all over...

[@MyBrothersMario]

If you're willing to send me the files I'd be willing to try modifying them to use standard parts, if for nothing else but to give me an excuse to mess arround with 3d modeling.

[@danilomuru6855]

I realy love this siren. On thingiverse i find only some fake sound ones. Can you share the STL? i will manage to do every modification by myself.

Have you or will you consider sharing your design or STL file online so i can print one of these...? I've always wanted an air raid siren.. a mini one would be cool. haha Thanks

[@THEtechknight]

I would use a microcontroller and PWM to perform the correct attack windup and windown.

[@PhxSt0rmz]

Yep. More repeatable and all that way, and pretty simple to do. this was more just made as a "how well would it work" thing

[@djaydeved]

just put a semi heavy fly wheel on it that will give you the wind up and wind down

[@ConsultingjoeOnline]

It might be easier and less energy to use a raspberry pi zero and an amp and a speaker. They you can do an intercom over WiFi even.

[@PhxSt0rmz]

Consulting Joe Yeah but I did speaker/amp stuff with arduinos long ago and its too boring and simplistic for me to enjoy it. A physical mechanical siren has its visual appeal. Goal here wasnt cheap/energy saver. Just "how can i repurpose these motors instead of trashing them"

[@justcoppedthatnewgrucci2212]

sounds like my drone

[@eafindme]

I think is just that one is of 8 slots and another one is of 7 slots blower designs to make 2 distinctive siren frequencies, then just need to spin fast to hit that nostalgic sound.

[@Gogotopra]

this siren take much time in printing

[@PhxSt0rmz]

Most parts were done in under 2-3 hours each. So probably about 12 hours at most. Isnt too big and usually printing around a speed of 80. This was a random 1 day thing for me. Meaning, modeled it, printed it, assembled it, in a day. Often I dont keep files for day projects as everything sits unsaved cuz its just making stuff to prove a concept and now that I know the prints can handle RPMs i sarted the actual project for that use, which wasnt sirens.

[@TombVali]

you should have put more holes on one side for a higher pitch

[@MrDubje]

Cool siren! It has two tones, right? I see a slight difference in the gap-width between the one on the left and the one on the right. You most probably already know of them, but on youtube you can look for the Broadmoor siren videos from Matt in England. How fast do you think it can go, before any problems occur with the 3D printed parts? Or is it really stiff/sturdy?

[@PhxSt0rmz]

it can go a lot faster no problems. But at that rate the pitch is too high. it runs 8 slot on the left and 10 slot on the right :)

[@MrDubje]

+PhxSt0rmz Thanks for your reply once again. Now that I'm in front of my desktop I see you actually put all the info in the video description. I couldn't read that in the youtube app I use on the phone.
