As a person who is into 3D printing I get Hueforge, the average joe however doesn't, they say things like "why not just print pictures on photo paper with good inks"? but these same people were wow'd out by monochrome lithophanes. I would like to be able to make a set of speakers with Hueforge images mapped around them. Also I would like them to sell just the files for various size drivers so I can repurpose the drivers and crossovers from some existing speakers, I have so many sets of quality speakers its unreal, I hate selling my things, if I'm not using things they get packaged up and stored.
Been printing my own designed sealed cabinet speakers recently, honestly quite disappointed with the deposition cabinets, it's 3d printed how hard would it have been to recess the banana connector to make the back clean for just one thing. wish i could post a photo.
It's basically a scam and all these youtubers are happily promoting this guy. I don't know if they are being paid to do so or w/e but it's super shady. Any time this guy posts on an audio forum people call him out for selling under $100 in parts for $220. On top of that his print settings are horrendous. There's no way 10%-15% infill is appropriate for speakers. The fact he says to print the main cab with 2 walls 10% infill is laughable. These are not "3D Printing People" these are scammers.
To observe differences between various enclosure materials, I would suggest a setup where you can have the speaker and microphone in the exact same positions, and test the most common measurements available in REW, then compare the results. What will highlight the enclosure difference will be near-field measurements but not pointing at the driver themselves as you'd typically do to measure the response of the woofer, tweeter and port, but pointing at relevant areas of the enclosure itself. I look forward to see these videos !
that is already in the works, you will see!! While I dont have special mics and such, I can hard mount a mic and test with the same audio levels and such to see. Subjective? A bit, but without a nice anechoic chamber, most measurements are skewed anyways.
Let's do the Prusa tungsten stuff LOL. Worlds heaviest speakers by volume! Gf or cf nylon should be good for sure. I may ease into those due to the cost though lolol
TPU speakers all the way.

Definitely interested in building a set of speakers
yeah!! We want to do some fun colors and patterns too!
Wonder how heavy density wood pla would sound 🤔
same....

Hiya Grant,
Maybe you can print the speakers in ABS or ASA or even ABS/ASA GF or maybe colorfabb LW-ASA. 😜
ooooh LW materials could....... SOUND like fun
30+% glass filled nylon should be a great material for the speakers if Grant isn't willing to try virtual foundry's tungsten pla

varioshore speakers, i need them
3d musketeers lowk fi need mo recognition omm
so tell others!
We'll see how long he keeps that 10mm
LOLOLOL
Hueforge is so interesting! I really need to play with it more.
