- When we add a new speaker to a vehicle we often times will need a speaker adapter in order to adapt the interface between the new speaker and the vehicles mounting pattern. What if we could 3D print our own speaker adapters? Now we can! Here's how!

Dude, you will soon be producing custom parts that are engineered to look factory. Seamless integration of custom work. Incredible!
Fantastic! Absolutely love this. Technology has made car audio installations so much more precise and have done a great job exposing us to that. Bravo!
Really dig the foray into 3d printed parts! Excellent inspiration piece!
Nice quality work as usual!!
I know I am a bit late on commenting on this video but I just got the chance to watch it and read through the comments. I can't honestly remember when I first started watching Mark's CAF videos but it's been a few years to say the least. I think all the people making negative comments about the 3D printer are kind of missing the point. Mark didn't start out with high tech, high cost tools and he has made MANY videos over the years to show how you can do these jobs without the fancy equipment. I don't think he is suggesting that everyone go out and buy a $1500 3D printer just to make a speaker adapter. The fact is he does this as a business and as such he has been able to, over the years, buy some really nice equipment and has taken the time to make these videos to share with us not only the practical way to do these things for the average DIYer but also some of the cool new technologies, materials and processes that are available to even mid level enthusiasts or those maybe trying to start a business of their own. Quite frankly considering what you can do with a 3D printer $1500 is not bad at all if that's what you're into, just look at how much people spend on gaming systems and controllers and it's not like most people are making money off those. I think he was just trying to share with all of us how this could be made with a 3D printer and give those of us that have never used a 3D printer a walk through even if for no other reason than it's awesome. I believe there's alot of us out there like myself that thinks it's neat and like seeing how it's done, just like there's alot of us that like to watch shows like "How it's made". He has shown in other videos how to make speaker adapters with simple tools and materials like MDF or fiberglass, this was just a cool way to show us what he is making right now with the tools he has. Okay that's my 2 cents, fire away with the replys.
love it!
Although I bought a cheap 3d printer (anet a8) this is exactly why I did. For things like this. Awesome job. I think the raft was over kill though.
Perfect, dude! You kill it!!
Brilliant just brilliant 😍😍😍😍
that is awesome perfect measurements
Very cool! I’m now more interested in what’s going on with the center channel speaker lol...
CAF for the win....
Nice
+Nelda Cardenas thank you
Can you do a video on how to wire up a center channel speaker to your system
That was so 1990
I've got a 7.1 surround system that uses 7 speakers a subwoofer and it includes a center channel...welcome to 2018....
Wow
I don't know if you would see this comment or not. I was wondering if a person could print an entire speaker pod that would snap I to a factory location. Like a pod that will snap into where the speaker covers the dash of the 4th gen ram 1500s.
As in remove the covers and design and print a replacement cover to install a mid and tweeter in the same position
Abs is alright I would suggest petg just as strong in my option both have good pros and cons it's just abs is more toxic great video though!
This is a terrific video! I have two questions. One, what was the total time it took for the 3D printer to make the part? Two, wouldn't it be a good idea to fill those (what appear to be) opening around the mounted speaker that prevent the front of the speaker from being isolated from the back. I would think the shared air between the front and back of the speaker would have an impact on performance and sound quality? Anyway, very cool video!
Mark stated " a couple hours later" in the video
Angus of Makers muse made a video about prints in cars failing.
You don't need to use a raft if your print bed is calibrated.
Extra likes for the brass inserts!
I've seen the video, his test showed ABS was fine which I used in the video. PLA prints should be avoided in car.
انت مبدع
شكرا

انا احب عملك جدا و متابع لك اتمنى ان اصبح صديق لك 😊
what aftermarket 3.5" is that?
I have a question, I have a 2006 tacoma that I put a double din stereo in, and the trim kit rattles, any recommendations on a better fitting trim kit, or a trick to fix this on
Hey great job Mark!!! 👍👍👍 How much does it cost to invest in one of those ROBO machines to do that 3D printing??? GREAT VIDEO!!!
+Jose Garcia it's not bad at all, check out the link in the description of the video for info and pricing. There are a couple models
not bad at all... $1500........
Hey Ross, we have multiple models from $500-$1500
And if you are willing to monkey with it, there are even cheaper machines on the market (you get what you pay for though and Robo does make a nice machine).
Jigsaw with plastic blade or table router or cut some pieces of radio bracket to hold it down. C’mon Mark. You’re just showing off now lol. Great job!
So in your set up, are you going for a two seat listening position, or are you using the center channel to handle your voice commands, bluetooth, factory chimes?
Jack Oswald this is the optional factory sound system in 04-08 Grand Prix. The center speaker ads a small amount of mid range
Yes, I'm asking if there is a goal of adding a center channel, usually people don't use it unless they're going for a 2 seat sound stage for judging since timing can be an issue between all three speakers up front, unless using an Alpine PXA-H800 or JBL MS8 that use Logic or Dolby surround for processing. As with my system, I used it as a way to retain factory chimes, as well as bluetooth phone, and not have them amplified in my entire system.
Jack Oswald Yea normally I wouldn't use the center speaker. I believe he's just replacing the factory speakers and using factory amp.
Now you just need a 3D printer with enough bed space to print 6.5" speaker baffles with. Some sweet angled baffles to really fix some of the stock door mounting positions would be really cool.
+Robert Coffey build volume is 8 by 8 by 10, plenty of room and can always make separate pieces if need to be larger.
CarAudioFabrication wow. It has larger build capacity than I thought.
Could you custom make those for a 3 mounting point style speaker out of a BMW?
I know this video is 5 years old, but on that very same vehicle, for the rear deck did you swap out the speakers for any kind of component speakers and reused the factory bracket, if so did you make a bracket for the tweeter that sits ontop of the woofer?
Also did you happen to make a new grill for the center dash speaker location?
I'm looking at replacing my rear deck speakers for aftermarket component speakers and looking at 3d printing that bracket
What model of printers do you use
great video. this 3d printer would be great to make maybe 3 to 4 pairs of speaker adapters ahead of time to have in stock in the install bay. How much would be the cost per speaker adapter in materials?
3d printer filament is pretty cheap. It's about $30 for a 1kg roll. plus the cost of the insert nuts granted you already have a 3d printer.
The adapter would be about $1 in material cost
The adapter would be about $1 in material cost
Where can I get those fasteners????
Ooo Autodesk.. Baller!
How much would you say it cost you to build that piece compared to how much it would cost to buy
RIP IT!!!!!
Did the grille actually fit, tho? I feel like the top-down shot of the final product might be hiding something.
can you 3d print speaker frames?
You can 3d print whatever you can think up!
Mark, what are the resources you used to learn Autodesk 360?
I went to school for four years and got a mechanical engineering degree.
Do you sell any of your work
Do you have 6.5 inch woofer adapter for a Toyota sequoia that normally uses a 6x9..The schose adapter is absolute junk
Now Doug will be 3D printing a new box.
I know you're reading Mark's comments Doug. No one cares what you did Doug.
📦
Where's Doug now??
Next up, 3-D printed speakers
With the ability to print metal this may honestly be something we see in the future. Not every component could be 3d printed, but some could potentially.
That's not a micromitor they are vernier calipers they are two totally different things
+dj red hare aus oops I misspoke, heaven forbid!
dj red hare aus I was wondering if anyone was going to pick that up or not! I wasn't going to point it out but the proper names for tools is a very important part of any type of automotive work! I can't stress it enough when I'm working with any sidekicks or new car guys because if you called a parts house and asked for calipers to rent let's say, u would be given the incorrect tool for the job. I'm sure mark just mis spoke when he said that. But cool video regardless! 3d printing is some cool sh!t I'd love to have one of those machines
Not a vernier either. that is a digital caliper. There is no vernier scale on that caliper. :)
*caliper
I think that was a caliper, NOT a micrometer.
4 hours to make a adapter.............
How many hours does it take to order from internet with the waiting time ? ;)
More fun to do it yourself.
You don't have to sit and stare at it the whole time. Not to mention once you have a design you have it forever.
Your vids are cool but the approaches are ideal so much that it needs special equipment and knowledge. On a business standpoint it doesn’t make sense.
I disagree, from a business stand point it makes a ton of sense, you could have a design for an adapter and whenever you schedule an appointment with a client you could start it printing and have it ready for the install. Much faster than waiting for freight, then for applications where an adapter doesn't exist you can make your own offering your clientele something that the competition can't.
Mark, I have attempted to become a patreon supporter of your videos, but patreon keeps blocking my efforts because I am supporting another site. Hit me back and let me know what I am doing wrong
Never heard of that, message me through the site please: www.caraudiofabrication.com/contact
And Doug thinks he is cool with his entry level cutter ..lol think you just left Doug bernard in the dust ....lol......
$1500 for a speaker ring..... no thanks
+ross christian yeah because once you print a single thing you can never use the machine for anything ever again... (/sarcasm)
CarAudioFabrication thanks for clarifying that you were being sarcastic. I would have genuinely thought it was a one time use only machine if you hadn't said that. /Sarcasm lmao
