OH MY GOODNESS ITS TIME! EDIT: Soldering not pretty? That wire tinning was CLEAN
Lead Free solder is garbo if thats what you used...
Your music is so good! I just loaded some 50s tv voices about jet engines into my daw!
Sounds really good!
sweet both Joel and Angus.. only thing in the song I wish was added was.. "you get stickers" LOLOLOLOL
Angus, could we get a copy of your song? :)
I love how you tend to mix colors like a colorblind savant. Keep up the great vids!
I have a job for Sean: a "Dad Joke" "stamp" to put on screen whenever Joel makes one!!
Congrats Joel and Simon on the build! Thanks for the mention :). We will have to keep improving the 3D printed drivers and maybe one day be in the position to do a swap out! :P
This man is Just so happy, love to see that he enjoys making these video's so much.
Love the new track! Speakers turned out great as well. Thanks for taking us along on the journey.
Wonderful Project 🙌😎 brings back the memories from when I was building DIY speakers 😌
And excellent song Angus! 😎
...P.S. loved the MARS intro 😁
Hello marsgizmo
I like the vids
YYYYEEEESSSS what a tune by Angus. I wish I could hear them in person I love the look of them. Thanks for the awesome video as usual 🖐️
I really wish you could hear them in person as well! I would love to bring them to the next event - whenever that is.
The music always plays but only the wise one dances around this tune. Will consider building my own speakers in the future. Thanks Joel!
That was pretty cool! 3D printing has come a long ways in the fact that you can create just about anything in a way that makes it one of a kind and not bulk numbness.
I really like 3d printing for that - I like that you can make unique and one of a kind things.
Thanks for being such a positive friendly presenter. Your joy is infectious!
Nice you tried it. Building speakers is a nice hobby and I hope you bring lots of people to the community.
It is fun, I hope others do get inspired!
@@3DPrintingNerd yes it’s nice. It can get expensive though when you start upgrading your dac and amp and drivers. But it’s very rewarding.
hexibase is a god among men for audio / 3d printing but i'm so happy to finally see this come to completion :)
Congrats, Joel! I know this project was a long time coming. Thanks for sharing that sweet payoff with us, as a casual audiophile, it was truly awesome to hear what our hobby can lend to!
You should really have dried the sand in the oven first, sand hold a lot of water
Yes it looked way too wet. This might cause some problems later.
Now you need to print the planet Earth in full size!
Seeing you tin the wires, reminded me that we have been doing that for years and years. Then a customer saw me tinning the leads for his flight computer, and says these iconic words "I never seen that before"
I realised once again, no one knows everything. I, myself, the more I know the more I realize how much I don't know...
Reason I watch your videos, and others, so I can learn more, and know even less (LOL)
And what did I learn today? @Maker's Muse makes techno! Nice!
As long as a person has at least one competence it's okay. I'm only sorry for people who can't do anything better than the rest. That hurts.
@@1234fishnet Everybody has hidden talents, some are just more hidden than others. Basically everyone has something they are good at, but some have never had an oppertunity to discover what they are good at. And that is a waste. Basically, this is why a propper school eductation is so important (Especially here in South Africa, where rural education is at a very basic level.) It allows a person to experience a deverse number of activities, to find out what they love, and what they are good at. Myself, I have yet to discover all that I am good at. That is why at my age (48!) I still try to learn new stuff every day. Long winded answer.... Like David Eddings said in his one book, {By now, you know, it takes me 100 pages to clear my throuht)
Super awesome Joel! Sound fantastic! Keep up the great videos and God bless.
I think your tweeters might be a bit weak. Or you have the bass turned up too high.
I think the recording microphone was probably below the tweeter level so seems that way. If you get on Twitter I posted the STLs, schematics and response plots. Cant li k here 'cos URLs get blocked.
I'm not sure what you're listening on but the bass response was horrendous. It could be the mic, but the response graphs look less than ideal it basically drops off at 150Hz and then again at 60Hz which is a extended bass shelf alignment.... but normally you compensate for that in the crossover if you're building a full range speaker. Some subs can get away with that alignment but on a full range it's hard to do especially if the woofer doesn't have a ton of xmax to play with. That distortion you're hearing is the woofer exceeding xmax, it's bottoming out.
I'm glad he's happy with them but they don't seem well thought out on the acoustical side
@@MEatRHIT2009 The woofer response plot for the crossover simulation was measured 'windowed' to get a cleaner response high up. That's why it shows little bass extension. The actual extension will go to about 35hz which you can see in the 'Large vs Slim' comparison image 👍
The woofer did seem to be moving a lot! It must have been crazy loud as that woofer is no joke! Either that, or there are air leaks still, or the mic was overloaded, or the amp was clipping.
@@Audio_Simon Thanks for the reply! I was struggling to figure out how someone could mess up a nice driver that much lol. Thought it could have been the mic and this pretty much confirms it
@Bretty Wap sub 15Hz
You’ll get a much better sound if you use the correct speaker wire such as OFC. Also, are the feet on spikes?
Fantastic Work Joel
When it all comes together Superbly ! Angus made an awesome Hook ! great video Joel !!!
I was about to recommend HexiBase hehe. Good times.
Awesome New intro Joel !!! (Thanks Sean)
Thank you!
That is so cool! An incredible build. And a great track.
That second hand receiver's HDMI port got some serious lovin' from the previous owner.
Another victim of the ol’ “rough reach around”
How much did they cost (excluding electricity cost)?
LOL at your seal of approval.
Angus wrote you a song?! and its a banger?! That Angus is so cool!
These are awesome! I definitely would love to print these enclosures. The HexiBase enclosures are fantastic!
angus nailed the song! - "this is 3d printing nerd!"
Awesome intro!! And great content as always, keep it coming!👍🏼😎
Gotta love the OG Xbox 360 RCA to 3.5mm adapter. I've got the same one in my audio drawer. Coincidentally I also have a full 5.1 set of 3d printed speaker enclosures plus a 2.1 set for both of my office desks lol. Think one sets going on 6-7 years now.
Like the speakers alot but a few questions. Why not use the HDMI cable for sound or the other digital inputs? Also, why is it set on all channel sound as opposed to regular stereo? The way you had it is playing as dual mono as opposed to left and right.
You should really choose the setting of direct or pure direct then there is no chance for the AVR to be causing any issues with the signal of the sound. The speakers sound bass-heavy so maybe there is something with the receiver's settings that is causing it. Plus that's a little steep for that particular unit especially since they are known to have the hdmi boards die.
If you have them bi-wired why not use the multi-channel input and set it up to run as bi-amped? you can do away with the crossover but you need the software and know-how.
Im sure this is probably said somewhere else. but I would suggest putting a subsonic filter (highpass set in the receiver) on the speakers right below wherever the enclosure is ported to. A ported box will "unload" below the resonant frequency and loose control of the driver (the speaker moves a LOT with no volume to make it worth it)
It will allow you to turn it up higher and will have less distortion and sound better while youre at it =)
Loved this project though! I am doing something similar at the moment to test out a new idea for my car!
SICK BEATS!!! I'm gonna play it before I hit go on all my printers now!!!
Those speakers are SICK! 👏😄
NO U!
hahaha. I cannot wait to play your Twitch streams through them! Hopefully Loyal approves!
Very cool functional print!
Love the new intro, Joel 😃👍🏻
Thanks! 😃
Man great job to angus for that track super clean ! And how does it feel to have your own sound track now! Lmao total awesomeness
I think you can upgrade the sound they make by using audio specific cable
So much fun that you use the sound of cheering children of the game Viva Pinata XD
Angus knows how to bang out a tune...joel bluetooth them ...Angus sweet tune mate
Awesome!!! Now you realize I -have- to play Day of the Tentacle again...
damn those speakers are great... dont know if its because of the Zoom F6 but the low frequencies sound quite low in the video and there is some kind of buzz when the bass kicks hard it seems, but all in all great project and great result...
I just wanted you to know that I subscribed because I hit the subscribe button.
Hi! It may sound boring... But what's about the response curves, Joel? It's hard to understand what was recorded by this mic.
Hey Joel, I loved this project! The speakers are fantastic and you gave if your twist to it. Your soldering was good... I need to learn soldering myself...
Nice, I really want to do something like this, but with more speakers for Unlimited POWER!
The sand used might not have been the best for this purpose. Paver (aka polymeric) sand is coated with a binder which is activated when wet. I'm not sure this will be a problem or not, but it sounds like you wanted "Play sand".
Nice. Sand for some weight and standing wave absorption. I was thinking those would rattle like the Jurassic Park cup...
Cool speakers man. I hate my craftbot flow..nothing but problems...are you finding the gmax 2 to be problem free?
Oh no! Sorry to hear problems with the FLOW stuff. My gMax 2 has been pretty bullet proof. I have a lot of prints from it that I haven't shown yet. They look good.
Speakers sound pretty dang good thru my iPad speakers!
YOU sound pretty dan good thru my iPad speakers. :)
I'm waiting for you to rick roll your entire block with these beastly speakers
OMG
@@3DPrintingNerd I would love to see it lol
I think the cross over is wrong they sounded, um, not good. Also for all the effort you have put in so far I think you need to finish them, fill, sand paint etc ?
Speakers look fantastic, hats off to makers muse for test piece, but in my humble opinion your next piece of music should be a Space Odyssey video snippet optional.
Cool stuff. Need to get a quick accent paint on the Joelbots to make them stand out a bit more. Either a hi-five blue or silver would make it a lot more visible.
Woohoo! New ring tone!
Hey Joel, can I was watching your videos about the $38,000 3D printer and saw the filament drying box you were using and wanted to see if you could tell me what is it and where it can me found. Thanks!
Filament drying box on that? Hmm... I know I've used a RepBox, have a look at that. www.repkord.com/
Thank you very much!
The soldering was as neat as it could have gone freehand (I probably would've made a bigger mess, which is why I use perf boards at a minimum). If you want more confidence in your joints, remember, MOAR FLUX.
So... What was the process of you testing the enclosure and designing the crossover?
Sounds better than our last audio creation! 😂
Congratulations on another fun build log!!! 👏
Any upcoming updates on the RC Car?
@3D Printing Nerd
If you sourced the sand from Home Depot, there is a great chance that it was mined & packaged at Icon's pit in Auburn Washington. They (their parent company) has the contract to supply the majority of the sand & gravel aggregate materials at Home Depot stores across the nation! I only know this tidbit as I worked at Icon for 3 years. With very few exceptions, all of Home Depot's material is supplied by them.
WHOA. So, there is a chance my sand is local???
@@3DPrintingNerd Yes sir, very local!
I loved it. I wounder if you can make frame speakers? Like ikea has?
ONKYO was a really great product back in the 80s and it looks like that unit is from that approximate time period. I have some audio equipment from back in the 80s, Bose 901 speakers and a variety of other audio stuff, all still works and sounds great. But, today you can get tiny Bose speakers that also sound great and take up 1/50th of the space.
Yea definitely not from the 80s or 90s since it has an HDMI port. While not outright horrible, these receivers are not considered very good overall and would not be something to use as an example for a company. They had alot of problems with the HDMI board which is just a video signal but once it dies it renders the entire unit unusable. While I respect your opinion but I have to disagree with the idea of the Bose speakers sounding great. They are way too expensive and there are much better options for way less that sound as good and even better. There's only so much you can do with a tiny cube with only one single speaker driver.
@@connorjohnson4402 Ah. The ONKYO'sm from the 80s and early 90s were rated very good. BUT since you said it has an HDMI then yes much newer. I have not heard much about the brand, especially more recently, so I bet the quality has gone down.
@@connorjohnson4402 I actually do not have those tiny cube Bose speakers. I have only seen them demo'd. Like I said I have mostly old school equipment so I run Bose 901's and 601's. In fact I play the guitar, used to play professionally but no longer. I even have my guitars and amps from the 70s. Start, Tele, and Les Paul and I play through a 66 Fender Twin. I do have an older Bose Wave radio, the larger unit. Bought it used, decent sound, not sure I would brag about it but Just use it to stream SIRIUS over Alexa. At least I am not just using the speaker on Alexa.
I'm also using sand in a project right now. I got really fine sand from the craft store.
It’s rocking!
Yay finally
I don't think you needed to make those crossovers because you're receiver seems to have enough outputs that you could separate the high and low frequencies to separate tracks in software before sending them to the receiver instead of after amplification
Is it difficult to add alignement grooves all along, on all thick part of 3d printed object ?
I understand the need of lightness in an prototype or a RC Plane, or even for small prototypes
But in this (huge ) case it would reduce assembly time. It would also greatly improve tightness and precision. Am i wrong?
When i see the Klucki oooooops i just see it adds grooves now (how satisfied i am ;-)) )
Thank You Joel! you are handsome!
7:40 > "Listen...part of making is the journey"
Maybe the real 3d printed speakers were the friends we made along the way.
Great! keep up the good videos
Can you do some analysis on the sound produced? Maybe get @TechIngredients involved?
You should go to your local auto parts store and buy a few cans of rattle can bed liner, then paint them. It'll give it a nice look and seal up all of the cracks and give the enclosures some strength. Also, it'll help with the low end of the woofers.
Oh holy cow, that's a FANTASTIC idea! I love the idea of how that would look.
@@3DPrintingNerd it looks great the way it is. I use bed liner on all of my enclosures for improving the sound, but it also looks really cool. You can try a few different brands. Some give a thick textured look and some give a smooth finish. You may have to use some self etching primer first. I'm not sure how good it would stick to that filament, but it sticks well to PLA.
Green Tentacle and Purple Tentacle (before drinking the mutagen that gave him arms) for sure!
05:48 Congat Leo for the 7th Ballon D'or:-).
I assume it's a recording issue but the playback sounded extremely muffled?
100% day of the tentacle. Think it would be awesome if they're painted in that color scheme
O nice speakers. How many hours dose to take for two.
Did you sterilize the sand before you filled the speakers with it? If not, expect... THE HATCHING! Especially if it's not 100% dry.
You have your new outro Song now :D
This was super mega awesome. Lol
that was a great vid !!!!!!!!!!!!!!! soooooooooo cool!!!!
I wouldn't mind building some BB-8 speakers!
Finally, awesome🔥, make intro with that music❤😍👍
I'm a bit surprised all those strings didn't make them sound like "Aeolian Harps"!
I'd like to see a video describing the bill of materials, just to understand the overall cost of this project, not counting the cost of the 3D printers since you already own them.
woooohooooo been waiting for this video!!
Random youtube copyright strike by music trolls in 3... 2...
Glad to see they work! What a journey
I was hoping to find a mention of the epoxy you used. Please tell Me ?
Bill P
It was the cheap stuff at Home Depot! I don’t remember the exact brand I’m sorry.
do you have links to the stl files
Hi from Bulgaria .... i relly like your videos ... buh i have questtions ... when ... ? you gonna do some rewiew of metal 3D printer ... when ... ? that`s gonna be awesome ... i know they are expensive but can you try just for review :)
I like the time and effort you made on the speaker towers ..but its alittle funny that you looked woried that the speakers weren't going to work..you could have put the speaker's in a cardboard box and the speakers would have worked...so what im getting at is.. you should have done sound tests to see if the towers are pushing out the correct sound quality.
Yu a genius 3dpn!!!
1:14 literally sounds like Odin Makes 😂
hahaha true!
Simon, being an English person, was most likely influenced by Doctor Who and made some Dalek speakers.
EDIT: that also explains the 50Hz tone: that's the frequency of mains line in England, Joel should have used 60Hz for the sub break in.
Or not, I may be speaking rubbish here. It's a long time since I've been interested in audio projects.
From an aquarium hobbyist, if anyone else does this project and needs fine sand, go to the pool supply store and buy pool filter sand. It's fine, consistent and cheap.
Wait - serious? What a fantastic idea!
@@3DPrintingNerd Absolutely. I'm pretty sure the companies selling aquarium sand are just buying pool filter sand and repackaging it. You can also get it in multiple colors - white, tan, brown, gray and black.
LOL I was playing DOTT a few months ago
