I 3D Printed Banned Instruments

[00:01] were banned all around the world, like the Vuvu Za that was banned in the FIFA World Cup in 2010. Even the electric guitar was banned because parents [music] evil. And you won't believe why this instrument was banned. This is a

[00:15] these in school like I did. But did you know they were actually banned at one point? Recorder squad, show the love in the comments. In 1989, when the concern production of things that used ivory stopped being allowed. that included

[00:29] things like piano keys and even some recorders. So, to save the elephants, I 3D printed one. Let's see the sound difference. And now for the 3D printed one. This also has a dragon head on it. So, I

[00:41] also has a dragon head on it. So, I mean, even some parts of the violin were banned from being made because of ivory. banned from being made because of ivory. [music] So, we 3D printed one.

[01:09] is a 3D printed Digery Doo. You've probably heard of a Digy Doo cuz it has a really fun name and it makes really fun sounds. This thing is gigantic. I haven't played it yet, but for reference, this is a DigerD that's not

[01:21] 3D printed. In some parts of Australia, the dig was restricted in certain contexts, especially in areas where it was considered a sacred instrument among how these sound. Okay, I think you're just supposed to buzz your lips. [music]

[01:40] to the 3D printed one. I feel like this is going to sound the exact same, which at the end. The 3D printed one is actually just multiple pieces screwed actually just multiple pieces screwed together. Oh, it's definitely longer.

[01:54] >> [music] >> Low key, I think this sounds better. Okay, I have no clue how to play this. Winston [music]

[02:09] and he would be right. So, well, I might not know how to play a digo, but at really well. After playing this thing, I definitely don't think these need to be banned. This is a tambourine. Yeah, they banned tambourines. Apparently, in some

[02:23] churches, people would just bring tambourines and use them during worship services. So, while the band was playing their awesome songs and everything, people in the audience would just be tambourining away, which was super

[02:35] distracting. So, in many churches, they actually banned people from bringing tambourines. And of course, I 3D printed one. [music] This is fully 3D printed, and I just added the little discs on it. This is actually a way nicer sound than

[02:48] This is actually a way nicer sound than this very obnoxious one. Zelas are plastic horns that came to prominence during the 2010 FIFA World Cup in South Africa. People would use these things whenever their team would

[03:03] score and they were loud. They were so irritating that shops at the games had to start selling earplugs and eventually they were just banned from these games. from the 2010 [music] FIFA World Cup and I just couldn't. But I booted up my

[03:17] print this thing off. It [music] 3D printed into three parts that you could Warning, this might be very loud, so caution to my headphone users.

[03:34] That uses a lot of breath. Okay, now imagine thousands of people doing that. I want to show you guys how I'm actually printing these illegal instruments. This is the Prussa Core 1. Prussa was kind enough to send this thing out to me and

[03:46] Prussa Core 1, it automatically ships just like this. So, you just plug it in and hit print. This is a roll of filament which you actually load into There's all kinds of different material that you can print off. Watch how easy

[03:59] it is to print with this. So, you plug it in to power and then you hit print you want to print. You can upload it with your phone. It'll show you a render you can just hit print. Okay, so we just started the print. This thing is going

[04:15] to take like 6 minutes to build a little boat. I actually made a full video of 3D check that out if you haven't already. Okay, the core one just finished Then you can take off the build plate and we have a boat. It took me a little

[04:30] bit longer to print all of the illegal instruments, but that's basically the process. Prussa also just came out with the Core 1L, which is this but bigger, which means you can print off like entire helmets. If you're actually

[04:42] the links in the description of this video. I have the Prussaor one right know how I'm printing them, let's get on to the next illegal instrument. Once the Vuvu ZA was banned, they replaced it with the Caxiola. This was another

[04:56] instrument where I literally could not find a single one to buy. I looked at Amazon. I looked at eBay. I looked at super sketchy websites and tried to buy have any. Literally couldn't find one anywhere. But of course, like the rest

[05:08] of these instruments, I was able to 3D print one. Instead of being loud and were basically just shakers. So these were filled with like plastic beads, metal beads, whatever you wanted to, and they would sound like this.

[05:22] So now instead of thousands of people blowing into this loud horn, now you blowing into this loud horn, now you have thousands of people doing this, once everybody's doing it. I couldn't believe it when I saw it, but the

[05:35] saxophone was banned and it was actually really bad. Saxophones have actually been banned by several regimes, including Nazi Germany, Stalin, Soviet Union, and by the Vatican. The Nazi band was part of a rejection of jazz as

[05:48] degenerate art. If jazz is degenerate, then I'm the scum of the earth. I love jazz. So, we all know what a saxophone sounds like.

[06:01] onto this mouthpiece with a wooden read. Blowing on the mouthpiece will vibrate you hear. Well, I've never tried this before, but I 3D printed [music] a saxophone read. This could be really useful. Saxophone reads are pretty

[06:14] expensive. A box of reads is like $30 to $40. But if I can just print these off, so excited to try this. Okay. Yeah, it looks about the right size. Okay, not looks sick. Okay, I'm going to make the Nazis cry. Let's try this out. Oh, it

[06:29] Nazis cry. Let's try this out. Oh, it feels so weird. It's like textured. Dude, it sounds great. [music]

[06:48] to get out, but this actually works really well. I don't think Winston really likes the saxophone. Well, looks like I'm not spending $30 to $40 on saxophone reads. Okay, I was not expecting this. The electric guitar was

[07:00] really didn't like their kids listening to rock and roll. They thought the their kids into [music] delinquents. But in 1958, an artist by the name of Link Ray came out with a song called Rumble. In this song, Ry actually invented the

[07:15] fuzz guitar sound, which was originally made by him punching a hole through his amp, making a distorted sound. The fuzz guitar sounded kind of like this. guitar sounded kind of like this. [music]

[07:31] York and Boston for fear of it inciting [music] gang violence. Apparently, the name of the song Rumble was also a slang term [music] for a gang fight. But, you know, we had to 3D print a whole entire electric guitar. Even my guitar pick is

[07:44] my first 3D [music] print video, and this thing blew me away. First of all, guitar look like this in [music] 1958, I think parents would freak out even more. think parents would freak out even more. And it sounds sick.

[08:09] is actually in the Middle East. Apparently, since the Taliban's return to power in Afghanistan [music] in 2021, all musical instruments were banned. This was due to the extremely strict version of the Islamic law that was

[08:23] enforced by the Taliban. This law considers music immoral and forbidden. Apparently, they literally burned a bunch of musical instruments. That's actually insane. Like, imagine if we didn't have any music or musical

[08:36] instruments or anything. That would be insane. But I think Winston [music] like my musical instruments. I hope you guys learned just as much as I did. I had no clue instruments were banned. And thank you so much again to Prusser for

[08:48] know if any instruments get banned, I can always just 3D print them. Don't And if YouTube's algorithm actually works, you're going to love this video. works, you're going to love this video. Next,
