Built some 3D printed speakers and they actually sound really fucking good. The tweeter and woofer are from SB acoustics. Enclosure and crossover board are 3D printed. Total cost for the project about $350 but they sound like they cost $2,000. Honestly super impressed. image

Nice case too! I would buy some "cheap" Dayton bookshelf speakers and strip them to fit on that case... Would bring costs to ~$150... But then I got too many speakers already 🫣

I know I don’t. Sold some Yamaha HS5’s for some Focal 8’s. Paid double the price and honestly couldn’t tell the difference. Then came the whole room treatment spiral lol. Bit like me trying to taste the difference between a $15 and a $75 bottle of wine 🤷‍♂️🤣

Nice!! Cool project to work on. They remind me of KRK monitors I had back in the day. I’ve never tried 3D printing. Do you have a link to a project package to share about print design and what speaker components to buy to make it work?

This photo almost looks like a page out of one of those old eye spy books. So much going on 😂
