While we have received some free whistles and are now 3d printing some ourselves, I’m trying to defray costs of printing zines, buying lanyards. That’s why I ve asked for modest donations to #indivisibleSantaFe via our ActBlue portal. I understand that people have their own local efforts to support as well as national causes. I’m trying to defray $1000 cost one of our members has fronted. Hoping to raise another $600 on top of the $125 already raised. https://secure.actblue.com/donate/indivisiblesf371306689 2/

Photos of some kits we have made already. For the next round we will be using 3d printed whistles which do not come with lanyards, and attaching the zine to the lanyard so we can skip the cellophane bag. #NewMexico #SantaFe 3/
@heidilifeldman the bag helps keep the lanyards from tangling and becoming a mess of spaghetti. I was reminded of this at my last whistle party as my group was handed a bag of whistles on lanyards to package into bags.
Also, lots and lots of 3d printers are constantly going, people love to help so asking is worthwhile.
Compliments and gratitude for your great work.
Out of curiosity and for similar projects: are 3D printed whistles cheaper than buying them in bulk?
A batch of 3d whistles from the great “whistle protect” consortium that arrived today, and the start of our own whistle printing effort. #NewMexico #SantaFe 4/4

@heidilifeldman I’m waiting for the people who cheerlead for 3D printed guns to call for restrictions on 3D printed whistles.
@heidilifeldman what does the plastic cost per whistle, do you know? I've been wondering whether someone should just import tons of injection molded whistles from somewhere for greater reach
@heidilifeldman Please don't be shy about asking for more if you need them or can use them. We're all very happy to keep the printers chugging. :)
