Zelda Ocarina Flute that Plays Itself

This personal project has everything like robotics, 3d printing, programming, flutes, cats, Zelda, bloopers, and more!
I really didn't think it was possible for me to make this but here we are and I feel lucky to share this video with you!
You may share my video if you tag me!
Thank you for watching and let's hang out again sometime. See ya next time!

It would be cool to make a program that would take a MIDI file and play it back with this!

[@laftq]

thats a great idea

[@TheSelfUnemployed]

I second this!

You "forgot" the one @0:17 🙂 "Once Upon a Time in the West" melody?

[@TheSelfUnemployed]

even if the wind is consistent; while playing other notes it may require more or less wind for those particular notes to be in tune so having the motor controlled with a PWM signal and some troubleshooting for each note may help the tunning.

[@NULL_POTATO_EXCEPTION]

This is an interesting project! However, your ocarina sounds very out of tune. Perhaps this may be because you are not getting good sealing around the finger holes or perhaps it is because it's just not a very high quality ocarina. You can also bend the sounds to be more in tune by using more or less air. I wonder if you can tune the notes by varying the air pressure. Basically, do some testing before hand and mapping a certain air pressure to each note.

[@tofuninja5489]

Maybe silicone plugs instead of the rubber tips would help seal.

He bought one of those fake-ass Chinese Ocarinas.

[@jesse2535]

This is the best channel for orange cats in background footage.

[@allwili]

I think, out of all zelda like ocarinas you choose the least realistic, accurate or similar to the original. A more realistic one would have around 10 holes on the front and 2 on the back. And a similar to the origina would have 7 holes, althoung i dont know how would it sound. The project is interesting thought, and i can undertand why you would use a much simpler ocarina pd : i know there are ocarina that has 4 holes cuz I've used both, but they are shaped differently, a more flat shaped one

[@Claydood]

This is a neat project. I would personally try to add some sound proofing around the blower if possible, to make that less noisy.

[@TN-ec6ec]

Pro tip for getting those satisfying shots: Start with the final state and reverse. Eg. start with the plug already in the wall, pull it out from the wall, and reverse the footage.

[@flounder2283]

Ear buds would make a good finger tip analogues.

[@ryangill9518]

This was a really neat project. Great job!

[@alanbarnett328]

Literally every other video I watch will be worse now for not having a blooper reel. That was hilarious :) Also, it would be awesome if you made a tutorial for designing PCBs for that machine!

[@Afrotechmods]

A fine video that will please Bastet

[@3DSage]

That was actually the last shot I filmed! I had a missing gap in the edit and quickly took that shot with my phone. It's one of my favorite shots.

[@HalloGaming]

I've been waiting for this video!

[@javianmuniz]

Wow! What a cool project! Congratulations 😊

[@3DSage]

Thank you for saying that! :)

[@darkshadowsx5949]

i think it would sound better if the fan was silent. it also wasn't blowing as hard as a human. you could fix this but its going to make the setup bigger and cost more by using an air compressor and pneumatic valves to control the pressure and flow. the compressor would obviously have to be outside and one of those "silent" types.

[@3DSage]

Making a quieter fan was on my to-do list but I didn't have time but maybe if I make a part 2 updated video! :)

[@josephhalford917]

They do make developer sprays that you can wash off after use. SKD-S2 is a good one, but on the pricer side. Used multiple times with blue-light scans.

[@agepbiz]

Such a fun project and video! Great job!

[@3DSage]

Thank you!! I'm glad you liked it :)

[@gracy68]

Divine like all your videos, the assistant Leo amazed ❤️

[@3DSage]

Thank you!! My cat Leo is a wonderful assistant! 😺

[@sppspharmdude]

This was fun. Thanks for sharing yoir adventure in finding a solution to your goal. Now I'm thinking what a box that opens and plays an ocarina tune would sound like.

[@3DSage]

It was a fun project that I am proud of! So much problem solving but it's rewarding :)

[@milhooz]

A cool trick for plugin the socket to the wall: do it in reverse!

[@CShep99]

lol watching the bloopers at the end, i can see most of them could have been avoided by just doing it backwards and reversing the video.

[@3DSage]

I tried a reverse shot but it looked reversed. I knew if I just tried enough times I would eventually get 1 good take :)

[@danbrit9848]

So cool and inspiring

[@mr.sigfrid]

Love your passion and dedication (Y)

[@LaSandWitch]

Man, 3DSage videos never cease to amaze me

[@klerpi]

That was awesome!

[@Woelim]

7:11 maybe next time you pull the Plug out and Reverse the Footage 😂 but respect to nail it ^^

[@3DSage]

I wanted to do it right even if it took me several tries :)

[@danbrit9848]

Maby get one of those music boxes and add sensors to it as pickups ...you could make it crank operated or even automatically play

[@GoingtoHecq]

Maybe you can make your own ocarina that fits into a machine better. Maybe longer and more tube shaped?

[@3DSage]

It might be possible to 3D print my own ocarina! It might take several tries to get the notes right but maybe!

[@danbrit9848]

Always add connectors and as I was told build to destroy... basically everything eventually fails so build in a way you can upgrade or repair with as little hard work as possible

[@MrGuliton]

I would be so happy if my flute could play itself

[@Jenny_Digital]

With tweaking, you could definitely get it playing well in software, but for now, it has no soul. Top marks for sussing out the CAD side though.

[@CookieCraftMedia]

The cat doesn't really seem to be impressed by your shenanigans. But I think its really cool!

[@3DSage]

He is hard to impress but easy to make curious from my weird projects.

Nice project, i would hidden the blower and bring a tube so there will be les parasites noise. Also add rubber rings onto the selenoid to silence them

[@aintNexus]

Awesome!

[@That_Paperbag]

i love your cat

[@joyconboyz1409]

The Ocarina itself is a real instrument. Buying a real Ocarina would sound much better. It could be a source of a lot of frustrations when trying to make correct sounds. Even plastic ones can sound more accurate then the cheap Zelda ones.

[@Lipatant]

ok, now you have to do TTFAF from Dragonforce

[@3DSage]

omg I want to see that! :)

[@digitalunity]

Thing needs some tuning, but very neat!

[@auslander007]

Check the different types of blowers. You chose a pressure blower (radial bladed) May I recommend an Airfoil, more efficient less impact. A backwards curved wheel can do the trick

[@markburton5292]

the cat is judging you

[@fatfingersman]

That is very cool. My recent idea was to create an automated garlic bread making process.

[@3DSage]

I would like to see your idea :)

[@jake-san]

The fan shouldn't be a radial one, but rather just some normal fluid bearing fan with an adapter just constricts the size down. Would be less noisy. You could make it even a snorkel shape and hide it behind and under the ocarina.

[@3DSage]

I like your ideas! I might need to make a part 2 video with some of the feedback I am getting.

[@larspregge6420]

LOL. Nice stuff.

[@Jesd003]

Next time try Dr. Scholl’s OdorX spray as a de-glosser. It’s not permanent and can be cleaned off after scanning.

[@3DSage]

I will have to try that. Thank you!

I think it sounds better when you do it there's just something off about when the computer does it

god bless your lungs for not getting every cancer in existence from that pcb milling because i wouldnt call this safe...

[@3DSage]

I found this response online "PCB milling does not involve any chemical substances, making it suitable for use in general home or office environments without the need for handling hazardous chemicals. Due to the use of milling equipment for electrical isolation, PCB milling is safer than chemical etching"

[@dip8]

@@3DSage ive heard that glass fibers fly off when milling and may cause cancer, but idk i havent ever milled a pcb

[@GeekyGami]

It still irks me how badly tuned these ocarinas are

[@pus7aczeq546]

you should make it act like a recorder you play the song first then you press the button and it repeats what you played

[@anon_y_mousse]

Obviously it was non-stop Darude - Sandstorm. Great build though. Maybe you could make different shaped air chambers and produce a whole orchestra.

[@3DSage]

That would be a great song! And fun idea. Maybe in part 2 :)

[@notneo7898]

I would have bought a blower fan like a 5015. it can blow more air while still being more quiet than your own 3d printed design.

[@EquaTechnologies]

ocarinas are cool

[@hurktang]

You are aware that your supposed to block some button half-way to achieve the other notes right? right? And the thumb as well... there is a hole you don't use yet... XD

[@miron__]

Nice! How did you design the PCB? its quite efficient in the amount of cuts that were taken to separate the traces. Did you manually draw squares around each trace?

[@3DSage]

You can! Depends on the software you use. Some already have the ability for milling.

[@Jkauppa]

holy crap lol

[@demonocolips]

send it over to look mum no computer and he can probably make it midi compatible.

That might interfere with the scanner's distance calculations but it may be worth a try!

is the ocarina actually that badly off-key? or is it a limitation of the machine?

[@neves5083]

So this is an ocarina?

[@3DSage]

The ocarina flute goes back thousands of years but it has been more popular since Zelda games.

[@leef_me8112]

It would be easier to guess the songs if you actually played the correct notes. Perhaps the problem is that you don't have enough octaves.

[@illn0r]

Builds a controller based Ocarina and doesn't play a single song from Ocarina of Time.

[@3DSage]

I played the market song at on the Rupee ocarina and Saria's song at the end. I had clock town and song of time but they didn't sounds as good and I had to edit out a few songs to keep the pacing interesting.

[@jaredf6205]

Make it controlled by an N64 controller!

[@3DSage]

That would be fun! :)

[@leef_me8112]

NOT SAFER, Using the milling bit on bare PCB exposes you to fiberglass DUST.

You've been conned, you need to try that with a real Ocarina. The one's you've bought are the fake Chinese versions that are completely out of tune.
