Vuvuzela Sturdy and Fast to Print 3 Parts

Made a stronger and easier to print version. Ideally it's glued together with a solvent weld like Weld-on 16. For middle and top files, place the wider piece on the print bed. For the bottom file place the mouthpiece down. I used a 5mm outer brim because the pieces are tall with little contact with the bed. I used inside supports for the bottom and middle pieces. On my Prusa i3 MK3 I was able to print two of each of the parts (two bottoms, middles, and tops) in a go, and get two complete "instruments" in about 4 hours.

UPDATE- since it's only 1 layer thick (when printing with a .8 nozzle, as I did), the strongest way to print these is individually in vase mode. If you cannot print in vase mode (if you are printing multiple parts at once), make sure the seam is NOT aligned, because a straight seam will lead to weakness.
