Measuring a Facing Curve and Correcting a Crooked Tip - Part 2 of 2

August 2010 - Mojo Mouthpiece Work
I correct a twisted tip on a tenor sax hard rubber mouthpiece. I detail the tip rail shape.

And does the mouthpiece play harmoniously from such a rounding?

I know you’ve 3D printed some mouthpieces, have you ever printed one in a colorfabb metal infused PLA filament such as BronzeFill? I tried to do that and I’m having trouble facing it.

[@mojobari79]

No, I have not.

Have you ever had to reface/work on a Syos/3D printed mouthpiece? Do they present any unique challenges if so?

[@MojoBari]

I fixed one that an owner messed up trying to work on it himself. Below the surface, the material is a little different. Like a white fiber mesh was incorporated for strength or something. Hard to make it look nice once you get into that layer.

where do you purchase your files?

Michael Manning Lately mostly via the Otto Frei website. Some of my older sets are from Micro-Mark.
