In this video I play the Airwolf TV show theme music on the Ultimaker 3D printer using .gcode generated from a midi file. The gcode tells the stepper motors on the device how to move and what speed and when transforming this expensive desktop 3D printer into a music box. I tried to clean up the audio as much as I could but it’s not perfect. Let me know if you like these types of videos and also request other songs in the comments! I am going to try and find a couple microphones to put right on the stepper motors to get the cleanest sound possible and filter out more noise if you guys are into this kind of thing.
The Ultimaker 3D printer is a filament extrusion printer that can use PLA and ABS to create virtually anything. The open source .gcode that is used by this printer allows you to do cool stuff like play music using the stepper motors. This video not only demonstrates how cool it is to think outside of the box and do neat shit like this but it also demonstrates how truly flexible the printer is and the control you can have over it. This level of control on hardware is ideal for future proofing it since people will always find better ways to make the printer produce better results and having absolute control is critical to this goal.
I hope you guys enjoyed watching Airwolf Theme played by the Ultimaker 3D printer. Please let me know if you would like to see more videos like this!
.gcode files were sourced from Thingiverse.com and can be created with many programs that convert midi to .gcode so if you have other requests I can certainly try them out if their is enough demand.
Playing Airwolf theme song on Ultimaker 3D printer.
Move over floppy drives now other hardware can play music too! 🙂 This show is an independent production of Jerry Berg (aka Barnacules).
