As I was writing all this, we did it. ONE MILLION WHISTLES (plus 9000 for good measure) shipped and into the hands of regular people who will distribute them in their communities to keep their neighbors safe. You could do that too. Just send a request to the email at the top of whistlegoblins.fun
a screencap of the top of our linktree, showing that we have printed 1,015,299 whistles now
While I was doing my taxes, they passed 1,000,000 whistles shipped! I am just so proud of this group of internet strangers who decided to Just Do a Thing as hard as they could, and so grateful to all of you who helped us do it!
We're still shipping whistles! >>> whistlecoven.com
I suddenly have the need to buy this filament!

Today I reached >10000 whistles shipped, so it seems like a good idea for more #WhistleStats!
I've been printing whistles for: 50 days
and over that time I've made: 16027 whistles
and as of now, I've shipped: 12637 whistles
leaving me with a stockpile of: 3390 whistles
~321 whistles made per-day!
BTW the best parts of this are "inefficient" in an economic sense. Someone says "hey I want trans-themed whistles, can you do that" and someone else is like "I love that, I wanna do it!" or someone says "can I have some to pass out at my wedding" and we're like "sure, what are your colors?"
This is so fucking cool!
That’s a clever design! Nicely done!
The Whistle Crew has now shipped over 800,000 whistles. We went from 500,000 whistles *period* to over 500,000 *in February alone.*
And yet we're getting so much bigger and better we can stockpile whistles, too. Anybody need the 3,000 I have right now? Requests here: linktr.ee/3Dwhistles
Thank you so much! These are gonna make ~1500 whistles!
Thank you so much!!
Sure! You can help cover shipping costs here: www.gofundme.com/f/fund-whist...

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!
One of our wiki volunteers added your group to the list! Y'all have some _fantastic_ information and links on your site. Thank you for reaching out to get it added!
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.
Gunstar Heroes was a lot of fun.

Just grabbed this new roll of donated filament from the dryer. This is gonna make SO MANY (~500) pretty whistles. Thank you so much for donating!

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.

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."
Y'all, we did it. 💕 This crew of chaotic nerds has sent half a million whistles to people requesting them, for free. With your help!
Need whistles?

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.
