3D printed taiko controller Arduino based for PC.
I started on this project as taiko drum controllers are expensive (~$100+) and this project costed me less than 10$ (I already have some tools).
If possible I would recommend to make this using wood as it can be scaled bigger.
Modelled in Fusion360. I provided the f3d files and the STL files if you want to edit them.
I ended up attaching the piezo using blutack to the centre of the back of the don and ka plates
As the piezo are used to detect vibration, using a 100% infill should help but it worked for me using 40%. This was printed using an modded ender3v2. The dimensions are maxed for the print bed, but if you have a bigger printer you can scale it up. Print the standoff with 0% infill to reduce the transmission of vibration. If possible it can be substituted with something soft like a silicon sock.
