A slight change to the (excellent) V29 whistle by @jzisa that was remixed to the (even more excellent) compact whistle by @jrclem
This version just takes the compact whistle and cuts out parts that aren't absolutely necessary for function. Instead of having the lanyard hole at the end, they take up the negative space created by the whistle chamber (however, they are quite small - intended for fine cord). Edges are rounded and areas made hollow to reduce weight and ensure the whistle will float. This sacrifices some durability, but I've found it to be more than durable enough for my uses.
The function of the whistle remains the same - incredibly loud. I've printed mine at 85% scale and it comes out to 2 grams printed with glow in the dark PLA at 20% infill. No supports necessary.
