- Today we'll be building this awesome design spiral speakers!
They look and sound absolutely brilliant! Is this best looking 3D printed speaker? Let me know in the comments bellow.
Disclaimer:
The authors of this design, concept and 3D model - formerly called Akemake, now operating as DEEPTIME - are manufacturing professional version of Spirula speakers with enclosures 3d printed from sand. What you are seeing in the video is a cheap plastic filament DIY hobby version of the Spirula speakers that is not comparable in audio or enclosure material quality with the professionally produced speakers by DEEPTIME. The DEEPTIME studio produces Spirula speakers optimized for specific drivers and with enclosures printed from one piece without split lines, seams or bolts holding them together. If you are curious how such spiral-shaped 3D printed speakers could look and sound like when done properly, please visit www.deeptime.li...
List of parts and components for cheap DIY version of these spiral speakers:
Audio labs 4 inch (8ohm) Speakers -- goo.gl/EVTZP4
Mini Bluetooth Amplifier -- bit.ly/2td5Jvd
Recommended 3D printer for this project:
Get the new Creality CR10 V2 3D printer from:
Amazon - amzn.to/33y8DYi
Banggood - bit.ly/34Ju9Jz
WOOD/PURE Filament (You need at least 2 rolls 30% infill)
Aprintapro PURE Filament sadly is no longer available.
Print time with simplified 3D is around 16 hours per one side enclosure at 30% infill. With Cura 3.2.1 is around 24 hours as CURA use much more traveling.
Speaker seal ring(3D printed flex) -- goo.gl/G4YREY
Speaker spikes(3D printed) -- goo.gl/tvdeXG
Sadly STL files are no longer available but I found similar design:

Wow, stunning. And they sound exactly like the speaker I'm using on my desktop! ;)
bro use higher grit sand paper only. it should soften up the texture but not remove it
sounds quite horrible actually
@@nobodynowhere5213 I KNOW . my desktop speakers are awful.
maybe because u are listening yours
@@mederoraw exactly
Woooooowwww this is absolutely AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!
I always want to make these “spiral” enclosure.... previously only possible with a proper mouldings but now 3D ohhhh what a fantastic idea!!!
I worked professionally with sound systems and your AAA battery tip to check the speaker polarity was the BEST =]
BrunoPOWEEER Hahhahha man! You are the best! Am glad that you liked my video :)
9v works best
, cool modern way of using full range speakers.
I like Tang Band speakers my self. these are very similar. good job, nice point source desk top speakers.
Pleasant surprise in the sound test 💯
They really do sound pretty tight. Tongue and Groove joining of the two halves like HexiBase does might be a little nice touch. Also, you can wire speaker polarity in reverse and its fine as long as all the other speakers are wired reverse as well.
Meh to the haters, so what, we all know you rarely hear any 'real' sound on a YT vid, I'm willing to bet these beautifully designed and built speakers are better that what 95% of the people here are listening to at home, don't knock it until you do/see/hear it, until then, go find a better life man.
ain't better than mine.
I mean jeeze... they sound just like my phone speakers... he should just use his phone then.
(Itzzajoke)
I love how people think they can assess the sound of these through a microphone in a room, then a compressed RUclips video and then their own speakers.
(chuckle) Glad I’m not the only one bothered by this. I suppose it’s better than nothing - it would be weird to go through all that and not play them at all - but it is a bit like experiencing a forest from a newspaper photo and a scratch-and-sniff sticker.
@@DanielBrownsan The thing is, they sound absolutely awful in that demo, as you'd expect from a mic in an echoey room. Even Tannoy Super Reds would sound bad...
@@PortableFreezer indeed
well, technically if your speaker is better than the one they're showing, there's a small chance that you can hear the difference even with all that. For instance, i can tell this has way less bass than my own speaker, even if the sound was recorded through a mic. but duh, i use a 450w (rms) minisystem for audio on my pc, so that's expected.
I love how you think people are unaware they are listening through a compressed video on RUclips to their own speakers, dumbass.
Have you tried porting the speakers? This style is based on a transmission line speaker where the bass is increased through a chamber. Porting could help dramatically decrease your power requirements because they increase the bass output of a speaker by around 3 dB. Might be something you want to experiment with. That said I don't know the properties of the driver so possibly a sealed chamber works best. They do look nice, almost like mini Nautilus Bowers and Wilkins speakers.
This is similar to the B&W nautilus. Its not a transmission line design. The idea is that the back wave will travel into the chamber that is getting smaller and smaller. Taking the back wave and trying to turn it into heat so you get reduced internal standing waves, reflections..etc. Porting it would destroy it.
I love how well the finish turned out on that filament! Nice work. A note on speaker connection: it matters less if the positive pole on the speaker connects to the positive on the amp. What you must pay attention to if using more than one speaker is that you connect then both in the same way.
Making these awsome designs. 4 halves printed and stained.
Clamps ordered... What size self tappers did you use. Think I will use some with a Torx head in black. An add on cowling over the speaker just hiding the screw heads would look good. Great little project and a very clear video. Thank you. Took me 40 hours per side used cura to slice and went for a 40% fill with layers of 0.2mm
Nick
I am printing them now and also using Cura, my first one was at 40 percent infill and 4 outer layers at 80mm feed. Took over 34 hours... Kinda ridiculous for what it is. I was surprised to read in this video details that in Simplify3d it only took 16 hours. That is an incredible difference in speed.
Those are Nautilus speakers.
Good work!
Can't be unique since Bowers & Wilkins have used this design in their top of the range NAUTILUS (it looks a ton better too!).
Regardless, well done!
thank you very much!i will make my wife a fine ,elegant present.
thanks to you!!!
Damn!! Well done my friend :) Super clean and informative video! Love it!
Black Beard Projects Thank you so much man! You the best! :)
P.S. Your channel and videos rocks! Take care.
Very nice for nautilus 3d.
5:48 reversing polarity does not cause such problems. it will cancel the stereo effect (making everything sound off and disembodied) in a stereo set up, and will cause destructive interference for the the bass waves with other drivers running the opposite polarity. granted, you still have to wire up your system in the correct polarity, but not because of any kind of distortion.
I like. I'll need to do a lot of research in order to convert my set of RTI12's (1 tweeter, 2 mids, 3 woofers) just for fun.
best speakers i've heard so far here on youtube. i could actually hear the lows!
Daniel Foerstner Thank you.
Just like the Nautilus from B&W
Eric Mac Fadden
Ha, yeah so not as unique as they thought.
I remember seeing them when I bought my first set of DM602.
@@ro63rto DM602's where my first B&W's. Bought some for my mom. That speaker is great! I have Nautilus 804's now. But this design is basically the Nautilus design. With the right driver, it might sound really good.
nice looking speaker, i would have made it as smooth as possible and make is a deep piano black, for speaker stands i dont think plastic spikes will work, just look in the hardware store for some goodlooking screws, i use this for my floor standing speakers with soms brass plates underneath. great looking pc speaker.
perfect design by such an economic parts.
Congratulations on your Excellent work！Thank you so much & love from China!!!
Thank you so much my friend! I wish you all the best. Much respect and love from Sweden!
This guy.. absolutely brilliant. Thanks a lot man, will be making this after I've finished my upgrades. Time you get 100k+ subs!
aerospaceTUdelft Thank you so much man for such positive feedback :)
I can't believe this doesn't have more views !! Those are sweet !!
Randy Soechting Thanks! I agree :) Well looks like that RUclips algorithm doesn't like the small channels :(
Could do with tuning down, 20% bigger maybe would have to be calculated. but apart from that very pleasing to look at and very crisp. Very good work very professional.
Truly amazing build! Nice video too! Thanks for user a proper mic to show!
Sea shell design looks awesome 🐚
Hexibass sent me :)
what if you added a hole at the end of the spiral?
in case of this shitty drivers nothing
in common case u will have quarter wave resonator (that is quite another acoustic design) which is difficult to be adjusted
and again, depending on which drivers u use it can be shit or not bad
That would make them a T-line, but with this shape it would be hard to design it properly
I tried to push Like twice... That was inspiring to watch!
Jacob Boaron Thanks man I appreciate it :)
Best regards!
Finished them and they sound and look great.
Sourced a polyfill material on good old ebay.
I ordered the amp in the list above.
It works great but is no way a 50W Amp .
I now need to find a better amp to drive the speakers.
I would have held off on the painting, until I sanded the seem smooth. but that's me. Nice design and very cool
Sand them smooth and use an opal/pearl paint or flip paint on the enclosures... Or air brush them like and actual Nautilus shell.
Xaxuel x Good idea, I might made another pair and do that. Thanks for comment.
Greast build. A must do project no doubt. For the feet, try any "gothic" store, they go for pennies!
Thumbs up!
The Looking Glass Thanks:)
Plz do an even bigger version using Mark Audio Alpair driver in a bigger shell 🐚 👍❤️
Sound like my headphones.
Weird that, innit?
Really amazing work here! Well done!
Mouldy Soul Thank you so much!
Синтепона переборщил. Раза в 3 меньше нужно. За микро наутилусы лайк😉
хоть бы замерил ачх и тиля смола с синтепоном и без. Вообще звук как в ведре
A very well done video. Excellent photography. Very logical and well laid out.
garyhope2 Thank you very much for such a kind words.
Well done Sir! Thumbs up!
Pedro Freire Thank you Sir :)
Awesome only thing I would do is extrude the front some more and print a speaker grill to create a better finish .
very nice video you really improved so much the last year
Tim Montanus Thank you so much. Best regards!
No problem man
Awesome concept. Maybe one day, I will try it.
nice bass output too
Thanks
How about sharing some measurements? Free software such as Arta or REW will perform a frequency response. Even using the microphone you have would produce good enough results. A close measurement, mic 2 cm away and a farther measurement mic maybe 25 cm away from speaker would be great to see. I suspect that the long tube will have some pretty big resonance modes. I think if you pull the woofer out and really stuff the enclosure tightly with another 300 g of stuffing it could sound better. Having a perfectly round baffle will introduce large response variations. Take a look at the Linkwitz page. www.linkwitzlab.com/diffraction.htm Thanks for sharing.
I bet there's all sorts of acoustic issues with that design that need addressing. They won't all be solved by stuffing it with fluff ;)
dont ask that from a millenial youtuber; they only care about adjetives like "cool" and "awesome" but you show them a scientific/physics chart/measurements and they cringe about it; for serious tests about speakers go to some audiophile forum like DrAiX's
Hi! Greetings from Italy. I love your work, well done! i have two "variant" question:
- first: why don't you think to do it open on the center? it should improve your lows respond
- second: to improve sound, why don't you think to put the speakers in the center and leave all the spiral corn has open enclosure? Could you make this project?
Keep on this! (y)
BILTEMA
Looks good. Might make some myself :)
Biltema körv lol
just beautiful speakers
LALAT_IDJO Thank you
@@NexiTech its art piece , do you have any idea for make mass production with different type colours it would be great.
increible!!!
Men, you did a great work! Thanks for sharing! How much did you spend for materials to build these speakers? I want to build the same speakers for myself.
Your challenge is amazing!
Very inspiring! Thanks for the great video
You cant use BILTEMA batteries!*** :) Sounds clean and crispy, but the low end is missing. Maybe need spiral SUB also.
I hear A lot of bass coming out of the speakers
Beautiful build! You Deserve a subscription
Haim Peretz Thanks! :)
Best regards!
Great, sound like car audio. Good efort for all the details.
Amazing love the little bluetooth amp :)
Tac Blades I love it too. It's so small and i was very surprised how powerful is for a pack of cigarettes size :D
Nexi Tech well amp ordered speakers ordered and designed my own speaker cases that have cavities to be fill with sand. :)
goo.gl/FnczAF
I did one as well , but placed a filamente string on the joint of the two parts, to make the finishing
Hotend impressoes 3d Nice work. Thanks for commenting.
nice job man i really like it your speaker
Thanks man!
Very fun design
Hi
Thanks for the great video.
Can you tell me how you can describe the sound quality?
From 1-10?
I want to know before I’m making it for my self.
Glad you like it my friend. Sound quality is awesome and they are decently loud for speakers of this size. Now I don't know what you are hoping for so I can not place any numbers on the scale but get some good headphones and hear the sound demo on the video. They have very plesent sound indeed.
@@NexiTech thanks for your answer
I will try to hear with headphones.
And I think I will made this speaker?
About the speaker mounting holes,the space for six noles fit only to this component?
Because I think the other components with four holes.
Top marks for decent demonstration...
Thanks mate!
Really freakin cool video Nexi!! more more more:D
William Persson Thanks brother! You the best :)
Hy friend :)
Do you have a settings for printing those? I have a same printer.
Thnx for helping.
GREAT JOB
Thank you.
NICE WORK MAN;)
Thanks man!
Wonderful
Thanks
Hi. Great video. Would you sell me a couple of pairs of these speakers (x4)? I would like to give a pair to my parents also.
listening through tini laptopspeakers and EVERYTHING even the best speakers played through this laptop sound thinny . it be nice to put a "normal"speaker next to it and switch between them to compare them
Awesome video! These look amazing, the video was very descriptive and informing. I would love to build these only thing is I don’t have a 3D printer 😂.
Sweet project! You listen to some fire music too lol.
Findley Johnson Thanks!
Could you build one of these for a 6.5" or 8" subwoofer?
But with speaker on one end and port/ hole on the other end so the air can travel through it without breaking it to pieces
Donnie Persad I don't think 6.5 Inch Subwoofer can brake it that easy. You can print it in 100% infill PLA for example and use epoxy to glue it. It will be hard as rock :) To print it for 6
6.5inch/8inch you need massive 3D printer :)
@@NexiTech if you ever get access to a printer and willing to make a pair for me let me know how much it'll cost... thx
Donnie Persad, I can help you print these big size. Got 1 cubic print volume.
@@nilssen3dservice284 do you have a cost in mind?
@Donnie Persad how big you want them ? Is pla a ok material ?
Check out the Cyclops (Pokeball) speakers, maybe try making one of these in 3d?
can you share where you ordered the speaker terminals from, I just completed the 3d Printed enclosures and want to put this together using the same terminals you used. Thank you. They look GREAT so far. Can't wait to hear them play.
great project and well done - sounds like fun doing it by myself - but could you please provide the stl-files you have been using - thank you
Very nice
Thank you
What woofer fullrange? Audio labs 3" or 4"?
Please check link in video description for speaker model and size.
just a sigle word. A.W.E.S.O.M.E
Thanks man! Don't miss Giveaway ruclips.net/video/-c6PQ0f2Nng/видео.html
Hello
First let me say that I am very surprised about the sound quality these boxes produce.
A thought thou, have you calculated the volume that the speaker units need?
Your design have an effective volume of very near 2 liters, for you information :)
Connection doesn't matter as long as all speakers connected the same polarity
Foarte faine speakerele, mersi pentru tutorialul PDF, de indata ce fac rost de printer am sa le incerc si eu, eventual sa modelez si anexele de tweetere. :D
Awesome. Currently printing. :)
Rahul R Verma Thanks! How did it go?
Woow awesome
Okay super awesome start. But how does the output compare to the input in variances with how much voltage that youre putting through it. I only ask bc i know the conical spiral style is about as efficient as it can get, however.... where did you gain or lose in comparison to the frequency response graph that the manufacturer supplied?
all amazing but how did you get the actual files to print ?
did you just ask Akemake 3D to give them to you ? you cannot download them from the site
Do you still the STL for this? Can't find them anymore. :(
Awesome and Beautifully 👍👌🍾🍾🍾
Awesome project, loved it! But if someone asks, don't say 3D printed - just say they come straight from Jack's beanstalk :D
These are awesome!! What did you use to pack the insides with?
That Idea is not new. They are High End speaker called Nautilus from B&W !!
Pretty cool, But next time, please dont play copyrighted music, cuz RUclips Muted the video, and i wasn't able to hear it :(
Thank you. Well that song was copyright free for years and then RUclips decided to remove it.
sorry, how did you use a 50w amplifier to power the 25w speakers? isn't that too much? Or does it split 50w into two channels so: 50/2?
Great job!
TrueIndie88 Thank you
Fine looking speakers, didnt they need anything like crossover or in german is called sperrkreis?
Matze 1887 Thanks! No you don't need it. They are full range speakers.
Amazing amazing amazing
Imad Choucair Thank you! :)
Awesome built!! Can I print this on the Ender 3 pro?
It's too small. You need something from Cr10 line like CR10 V2 or CR10S PRO V2. 300x300mm build plate.
@@NexiTech thanks for the reply, can you please make a smaller version for this printer?
@@HaimPeretz Sorry my man the size of the model are matching with the speakers size. Check the link in video description there are some other similar designs on the Thingiverse.
Nicely done.. Ohh Crap, now i have to go buy a bigger printer :S
Klaus Knudsen Thanks man. Well go with Cr10S :)
No you don't have to. Print it in small pieces
No crossover? Or was it built into that speaker?
Anthony Efx It's full range speaker it does not need crossover.
They are awesome !!!
John Hurst Thanks mate!
Nice project!
Could you perhaps add a link to the speaker terminals? Cheers!
Thanks Mate! Well I buy terminals in local store, But I will found the same or something similar for you. Cheers :)
They look like mini B&W Nautilus Speakers.
