 If you are using someone else's design, please show respect to the makers of whistle models by attributing their work, boosting their models, and (if you are able) providing tips and/or subscribing. 3D designers help make our whistles possible. Specific whistle models are owned and licensed by their original creators. Please respect creator licenses on their respective model pages.

 :?: Want to use or make different whistles? That's fine by us. We're not the boss of you! The group is here to offer suggestions and information about what has worked well for us, not to tell you what  to do. If you find another “good whistle” please let us know so we can add it to our collection.

+In general it is good to have some whistles ready to ship and be producing more to back fill your inventory. Folks with multiple printers may keep fewer whistles on hand as they can produce volume quickly.
