 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.

 Need help printing good whistles?
-  * Many of the whistles on the “good whistle” list have print profiles for many of the major printer brands that have been stress-tested by members of the chat. It is often easier to use someone else’s print profile that they have optimized than trouble shoot from scratch.

   * Most of us have had good luck with Silk PLA over other filament, but experience varies.
-  * Sometimes a whistle starts going bad due to printer mishaps. We have found that it helps to merge items (in most slicers, by CTRL-clicking multiple whistles, or CMDclick on Mac) so that you have less than 64 items on a plate. That allows you to skip the whistle that is going bad and not produce more spaghetti.

-  * We have a lot of experienced whistle printers in the Whistle Crew Chaos Chat. Drop a line and explain what you’re doing and what’s not working. It helps to include info like what kind of printer & filament you’re using.
