Hi,
I once had an original Maui bamboo pocket sax, called Xaphoon.

A nice little instrument to practice everywhere / anytime
Now they are available in ABS and I wondered if it would be possible to print it?
Maybe in two pieces?

That is a great video - I like that guy's workshop.
Thingiverse seems to have everything you need (and more) to piece together a 3D printed Xaphoon:
to name just a few examples.

I´m already printing a tenor sax mouthpiece from thingiverse.
Using the recorder as reference might work, but the xaphoon also has some "secret" extra holes to make a few more notes playable.
I think of HIPS as filament, because the reed-face and tip will surely need some smoothing and lemon acid sounds better than acetone for ABS ( where is the puke smilie?)

That necroposting..
However - I was searching for xaphoon as well - and found a very similar model here, made in 2016 - [www.thingiverse.com]
Only difference i've noticed is that mouthpiece is in more saxophone shape -contrary to the round shape of the xaphoon.
Body, however, seems to be very close to original design. Hope it will help somebody.
