i’m guessing the whistle didn’t work because chocolate allows for more air to pass through even though it’s technically solid. Think of the difference between sand and glass as a reference of chocolate and plastic. Too much air escapes the layers of the chocolate for it to make sound

[@johnluger8612]

Look at that subtle off-brown coloring, the tasteful thickness of it. Oh my god. it even has a bite mark

[@KDeds21]

The boat print worked on the lower portion because it has a lot of surface area to cover for each layer. Thus, the chocolate has plenty of time to harden while the rest of that layer is being printed, and before more melted chocolate is layed on top of it in the next layer. The higher layers that make up the cabin and bow of the boat all have a very small profile, so each layer is finished very fast, and doesnt have time to harden before the next layer of chocolate is printed on top of it. So what you end up with is just melted chocolate being poured on top of more melted chocolate, and it just hardens in as a droopy blob shape. To fix this you would need to reduce the print speed so every layer has the time needed to cool, and you could even put a small desk fan in front of it to help speed up the cooling process.

[@freetolook3727]

That whistle actually did work. My neighbors dog immediately started barking! 😂

[@mikeroni]

Chocolate whistle probably didn’t work because chocolate has different resonance then plastic Edit; check out the reply from Jared…after doing some research myself I can say that material resonance does not apply with wind instruments

[@Ace-ob9yk]

So that means if we edit the format we can have a chocolate whistle?

[@nebulous962]

i was gonna say the same thing.

[@jaredf6205]

The resonance of the material would not affect if it worked or not, it would only slightly change the timbre. Whistles rely on the size and shape of the air pathway to affect how the air splits and resonates, it probably didn’t work because the edge that splits the air and causes the air to oscillate is droopy and rounded when it should be shape and precise. There are probably things like melted strands of chocolate drooping and sticking out into the air path interrupting it too.

[@sergemarlon]

I think Jared is right. I've printed wind instruments where the plastic had droops and strings inside that ruined the flow of air. You can usually reach inside and smooth/remove them to fix the airflow and sound though. At least with plastic.

[@SplodeyJesus]

You need to have better air temperature control so the chocolate hardens after it comes out of the nozzle, but before it drips. I'm picturing a nozzle directing a stream of cold air at the tip of the extruder. And then, have a pause after each layer to allow the chocolate to further solidify, perhaps with a fan blowing cold air over the whole piece. I would try to print a chocolate Klein bottle, or a Menger Sponge, filled with icing.

[@technicalfool]

I'd consider using an aircon of some sorts to drive the print area down to some near-freezing temperature, or have an extremely cold breeze blowing over the print area, see if it solidifies the chocolate faster or enables the use of cheaper non-proprietary blocks of choc.

As you are not a cook, I'll tell you the easiest way to fill that tube next time with liquid substances. Get a plastic bag, something like one of those zip loc bags, then fill it with whatever it is you're doing. THEN, cut the corner off one edge, and pipe the contents into your tube. Mostly mess-free filling. You can also use a piping bag tip with a nice open circle tip to make it a little more secure, so there's less likely to have a blowout of the side.
