Y'all, tomorrow we are going to cross 500,000 whistles shipped in February, which is just a staggering and bananas thing.

We have a few printers under our "HELP SEND FILAMENT" wishlists tonight, so if you want to keep the ball rolling...

Thank you so much for the shoutout, Bree! If you’re looking for a way to materially make a difference in Colorado, buying us filament and paracord will help us get whistles into the hands of everyone on the Front Range. We’ve delivered almost 2000 whistles and we’re just warming up.
Hey folks! Look at this group! Their website is amazing and full of great resources, and they have a wishlist as well!

So if you were out there thinking "man I really want to buy some filament that will magically become whistles in Colorado" man do I have the link for you!

I've been testing ACstudio's Guerrilla Whistle and I LOVE this model: makerworld.com/en/models/23...

Its tolerant enough to be printed en-masse on both my MK3 and MK4, prints on its side, sounds great, and has great usability features.

My only complaint is the keyring, a bit weaker than others.

I just spent a couple hours in the whistle inbox, inputting 39 requests. They ranged from 100 for a lady who wants to give them out at church to 3,000 for a large union. All over the country, but one common refrain: I want to help.

Thanks for helping us do this. 💓

Today I finished printing and inventory-ing whistle #10000. I started printing these 34 days ago, giving me a production rate of 298 per day.

Your filament donations have made this possible. Thank you!

10121 in total.

In 1943, musician Woody Guthrie placed a message on his guitar: "This machine kills fascists."

I am part of a group that's shipped half a million free 3D-printed whistles to defend against ICE — 200,000 of them in the first week of February alone.

This is the story of the "Whistle Crew."

We have sent out almost 475,000 whistles for free, and our spreadsheet crew just told me that 80% of them are going out within 4 days of the request being made.

7% go out the same day.

98% within a week from this team of entirely volunteers who are just big fuckin' mad & want to help.

Good morning from the Whistle Avengers! I just marked the 1,000 I'm sending to fellow organizers in Alabama as shipped, bringing us over 150,000 whistles shipped in February alone!

To celebrate, please enjoy some pics from our various printers, showcasing a few of our favs.

Just shipped 500 whistles. The past few weeks have been a wild mix of despair, hope, support, and unadulterated rage. While it may not seem like much, you have no idea how much I appreciate every "thank you", every filament-wish-list-note, and every picture of a plate of whistles.

We keep us safe.

Hey everyone! ProtoPasta is on BlueSky now, and we can officially tell you all to follow them. They sent a LOT of filament, for free, to our whistle makers. They also have some of the most stunningly beautiful colors out there.
Jumping in to keep up with all the whistlemakers!
Protopasta is ready to donate filament to keep the momentum going! Reach out to our support team at support@protoplant.com to find how you can be involved, too!
