Why 3D print them? Isn't that more ecologically wasteful than just getting any of the mass-produced ones? They aren't exactly hard to come by. Fuck your wasteful printing.

Not saying anyone's doing this for whistles in particular, but you can make PET filament from salvaged bottles. And VHS tape, but I really doubt anyone is going to be able to print something that needs to be as precise as a whistle from VHS tape. From what I've seen it comes out... lumpy.
