You don't want one. Here's why: 1) Print time is around 3 days for the total setup on a voron 2.4 running Ellis' profiles. 2)Cost is around 2-3 rolls of filament and that's printing THIN like 2 perimeters and 2 top and bottom layers. (FDM5's Cabinets) at 25% infill with 4 perimeters and 4 top and Bottom layers it's 1.4 kg's and that's probably not even dense enough infill for a speaker cabinet. This already increases print time to over 2.25 days for one cabinet body. Not the face or ring just the main cabinet 3) material isn't appropriate for speaker design. Mostly hollow plastic isn't going to make good speakers. 4) Off the shelf speakers are cheaper and probably perform better. 5)Total Overall Cost is over $300 Canadian (just the kit without amp). For $300 Canadian you can get some seriously decent bookshelf speakers. Edifier R1700BTS are under $300 have bluetooth built in and don't require a $100+ desktop amp or $100-200 in filament. I've built my own models based on the FDM5's to accommodate speakers I already own. This has turned into a giant waste of time as the project isn't even economically viable with me already owning the speakers. As a personal 1 off project, I get it. As a commercial venture? It doesn't make sense for a customer to invest in this.
No measurement data, generic stamped woofers and straight walls on a 3D printed speaker? These are not close "the ultimate speakers". Cool waveguide though
Great tutorial, very in depth and informative!
BOOMING, my head hurts! I want 4!
That tool is a great addition to this project. I want a couple of them now. Thank you sir.
Not really an audiophile but love the project idea.. I wonder if they have any plans for a bluetooth module
I hooked up an all in one DAC/AMP/Bluetooth receiver and it's been perfect for them.
These sound and look fantastic! Love the stickers!
Is that just like generic run of the mill pillow stuffing/cotton batting? Should that not be something like Rockwool?
Unfortunately the kits only ship to the US.

Nice kit, but imo the price is too steep for a kit without an enclosure. If the filament was included, the price would be realistic
Once you hear how great they sound, the price makes sense! I think it's an extremely good value for what they are.

On/off-axis FRD and impedance data for all three of our designs coming soon to our website :) Thanks for the feedback!
@@iwanbroodryk3655 Good response! (no pun intended)
