I bought this speaker 4 years ago in an effort to spur myself to get a 3D printer, and it took me 4 years to buy a 3D printer. This is in my top 3 list of things print.
So stoked to finally hear it!
I really enjoy your videos. My dad and I built some home audio speaker years ago. My father was a huge audiophile. We used dynaudio woofer Eton tweeters and I cant remember the mids driver. He designed the crossovers and it was a t-line design also. The speaker build was In an article of speaker builder magazine. My father has passed away now from cancer. Watching your videos reminds me of him. I would love to have a 3d printer to play with some speaker designs. I just cant afford it. I have three children and wife to take care of. Maybe one day soon. They have gotten so cheap. Keep up the good work on your videos. I really enjoy them. I wish you posted more often though.
This build was done back in the early 1990s. His whole setup was around $15000.
Hands down the most educational and entertaining and high quality content channel about audio I've ever came across . I've been watching for years now 👍👍
of course !
would be interesting ig you did them in woodfil and metalfil filament and see how that affects the sound
Pete when it comes to car audio you've always been the mastermind of your craft. I'll be looking you up in the future to build my wife a box for her
I printed a pair of these along with the V3 Sub out of ABS and powering them with a Dayton Audio DTA-2.1BT2. Using them as a 2.1 setup for my PC replacing/augmenting my Yamaha NX-50's. These blow away the Yahmaha's by a fairly good margin. These have much better mid-response where when I switch between the Yamaha and these it's a night and day difference with these being heavily favored by my human ears. To be fair these drivers and the amplifier cost the same as the Yamaha's cost and I still had to print the boxes which take up 2+ rolls of filament and print time which for most people will be just over 2 days. I look forward to more 3D printed speaker boxes you make. I'll probably have to print them as well.
I love the design! the speaker itself is awesome!! Amazing how these 3"ers your using just pound out the sound!! AWESOME!!
Just finished building these today thank you !
I love the little driver videos, the fact that you can make them distort mics is amazing
I'm still amazed you have such a little subscriber base. Your content is great and very accurate, you definitely deserve more subscribers.
Your content is exceptional and inspiring. Especially the 3d printing projects. Always looking forward to the next video.
Love your stuff and your review pushed me over the edge and I pulled the trigger on your reviewed printer. Thanks for sharing your craft.
What a cool project! I love your choice of filament colour :)
Your videos also have a great aesthetic to them! I always look forwards to another HexiBase Video!
If you're going to be doing a lot of gluing together of 3D printed parts you should check out J-B Weld Plastic Bonder. I find it works great on PLA and PETG.
Great speaker project!
Ok here's a challenge. How about a design with a 100mm cubed build volume constraint on the printed parts?
Thank you Sir
By far the best & most superior
audio, visual, tech tutorial in any media. Your content, articulation,
& demos are both educational &
rewarding. You are a phenomenal
teacher. Im assuming you are not only a perfectionist, OCD ? but also
a self made man 👏 bravo & kudos
to you. Your kids must be geniuses.
Good one Peter! Thanks for thinking of us with smaller beds (blushes)
I'm sold, now i just need a 3D printer..
@@HexiBase Do you know how much the pro will be going for tomorrow?
It is 199 after $10 coupon, price already went up?
it would be vastly cheaper, and produce far better results, to just use wood.
@@HexiBase replicate it visually, or meet/exceed it in terms of audio quality? because its a speaker im going to assume the latter, which is what matters. you could build a better box with a few sheets of sand paper, a bottle of wood glue, a 30$ sheet of plywood, and a hand saw. an electric saw/sander can be obtained from harbor frieght for next to nothing if youre lazy and need power tools.
replicate the exact design though? why would anyone want to? either your mics are terrible, your choice of music is terrible, or the speakers are terrible, because what you played back sounds like absolute trash. ive heard 4"x8"x4" boxes that sounded better than that, that just had a simple generic port tube.
to be clear, when i say "comparibly insane amount of space" i mean you have to be working with an internal box size of ~4CuFt for tiny drivers like these. where you could pop a 5-1/4 or even 8 inch with a basic tweeter in a cube, and itll sound as good or better.
Your genius blows my mind every time.
@hexibase I now have a full 2.1 setup in my room with 3d printed enclosures that sound amazing. I have learned so much from all of your videos and I hope to design my own enclosures soon. Thank you for all the videos and knowledge you have posted on your channel. I look forward to learning more from you.
What I really would like to see is an Activ sub for use with home cinema, preferably an 8" element and intergrated amplifyer.
Oh my gosh!! These speakers are outstanding! I finally finished printing your 3" subwoofer to go with these and until then I was somewhat underwhelmed. Now that I have the little sub to go with it these speakers just came alive. They stressed a little playing the high highs and the low lows but now that they can shine where they are meant to they are just supurb. I'm no audiophile but I set these up in my office, put the sub against the wall and leaned back to listen. The speakers disappeared and an enourmous soundstage opened up.
Thank you. Printing the 1 1/8 speakers from your more recent video now, can't wait to try them as well.
just curious but about how much filament was used to print all that? new to 3d printing and wanted an estimate before i order my filament.
Thank you Peter. We all love you!
Great content man! I've watched all your vids and love the format. My only complaint is I want more! ;)
I love these project maker builds! Kick ass!
I feel like parametric modeling would be amazing for 3d printed speakers.
Because you could have the user put in the speaker info. And maximum size in two dimensions... And then have it calculate everything else automatically based on a set of parameters.
The z lead screw is unsupported on purpose. If you where to confine it at the top any sort of bend would cause your carriage to develop z wobble. Your prints would have horizontal banding on the sides. If you look where the lead screw is connected to your carriage it should have some slop in it in the x/y direction this also helps prevent z banding.
I just enjoy how well you know your craft
Nice work with the speaker, reminds me of my first (and only) T Line.
Talk about someone who really really knows what he is doing.👏🏽💯
Obviously you know your craft. I'm impressed....
You need to start your own speaker company, guru
@@HexiBase Do you mean the Drivers or Subwoofer Enclosures? I cant imagine designing a driver :o
@@HexiBase you seem to know your speaker audio stuff... A good channel to learn from.
@@HexiBase Audio dynamics is Australian??
@@james8660 Does the sound wave spin the opposite direction down under?
@@icanfartloud yes we are 180 deg phase shift
Very nice sounding set of bookshelve speakers. And I will be looking into the 3d printer soon . I have a few ideas . But sir as usual your videos are awesome and very helpful and informative. Keep them up my brother. Oh , I wish I could get access to your past videos . I liked watching , pre audio dynamics.
Another solid video, very cool to see you test these.
The Tangband w3-2141 are awesome. I built myself a pair of "cyburgs needle" transmission line speakers with them a while back and i love them. For how little they cost me to build they outperform a lot of way more expensive speakers. 3D printing enclosures for these drivers is a genius idea, i might try doing that for center and surround speakers for my home cinema. Now to find a 3d printer...
Did you build the enclosures from wood? I just purchased 4 of them for ceiling mounted surround speakers. The center channel will be a M-T-M with Silver Flute woofers and Morel tweeter. A rectangle box is far too gauche, so my plan is to make a cylinder from MDF by kerf cutting and bending. So far that hasn't worked; the mdf either won't bend or breaks, depending how deep I cut. I have not exhausted all the ideas yet, including switching to plywood. But now a buddy on Facebook is posting his 3D print projects, one of which is a speaker box.
I’m having a go at making something similar with cnc’d mdf and a pair of Dayton audio nd65. Fingers crossed that they sound half decent.
Still waiting for the w3-1876s to be in stock since your last video lol
Made sure to snag some of these this time!
Great vid. Im curious if making the side panels with some honeycomb layers would reduce resonances at higher dynamic peaks. Really cool build!!
I had a pair of these on hand and was trying to figure what to do about an enclosure.. then i found this video! Your designs and the content on this channel is amazing. I've been following since you released the mini subwoofer. I have printed the parts in wood PLA but I am waiting on the driver.
It’s great that you measure and show the response of your new design, thanks for that. About the design, do you try to account for the walls flexing, they seem a little thin to be considered a rigid walled cavity (although I didn’t see how thick they are) and they’re undamped.
Could you please do a sound demo with these speakers as well as the Tang Band 3inch subwoofer? I for one would be super interested to see if between the 2 could produce a truly full sound at the cost of minimal space.
filament arrives Sunday, printer Monday. i may do this and the 3 inch sub build, if it will fit in this form factor :)
love your content man this my new favourite channel you have awesome insight into audio love it
Dude you are freakin awesome I really enjoy the content of your channel. Your work is really inspiring Thank you !!!
No batting, yet no mid-range/ treble leaks through the port? What kind of wizardry is this? lol! They sound very good. I attempted a pair of speakers a long time ago just using full range drivers and was blown away. They did have issues with spikes in the midrange and treble regions but for my first "speakers" they weren't bad.
The moment I realized who was behind the test track haha, 😎 awesome man. Gravel Rain is pretty unique.
Good job Pete!
The project came out so well! Love the enlightening content sir. Would a rough interior coating, or small amount of poly further smooth out the midbass?
6:10 Thats my sub enclosure design for my 2013 tundra regular cab!
This is a interesting channel. I am always impressed with your ability to confuse me lol 😉 I would like to find out more about printers but I am a total beginner.
I find when speakers placed on a hard reflective surface like a desk that it seriously affects the sound in a blurring manner. But a good build for sure.
Mini dsp ears is a much better recording. Good video and build!
We need more! Love your videos
these plus the mini sub would be awesome!
Man i am still trying to figure out how to print the last box and waiting for a speaker for the first one and now here is another one to print...... My wife is going to leave me if ya keep on.. LOL o-well carry on Sir carry on... Nice work again....
Very nice Job and Amazing Video coverage 👍🏻
Great Build!! It would be a good time to elaborate on transfer function and it’s implications to your designs please. For those of us who want to know more.
I'd love to see a 3d printed speaker enclosure that is bigger than what the 3D printer is capable of printing. I know it's something like what you're doing here, but I'm talking about more than just two prints, like maybe 4-8 prints just to complete a single side of the enclosure.
@@HexiBase that's awesome, I'd almost challenge you to do it with the smallest 3d printer you have, but that would probably be torture.
Big thx for your work Really nice ✌️
Greats from Germany 🎉
Had hoped you would have added to the 3" woofer project. Add a tweeter and crossovers. Really loved the deep bass the 3" was generating.
@@HexiBase Excellent! Can not wait!
Can you recommend a freeware I can use to validate a vented box I want to make for a 8" HT bedroom subwoofer ?
Thanks.
Id love to see what you could come up with for a modular 3d printable tv soundbar!
This one looks good and is highly rated ANYCUBIC Chiron. Can build a nice sized enclosure, but I wouldn't use PLA personally, because it degrades in sunlight and is not a good material for automotive environments. I'm looking to 3D print an enclosure for my coveted Precision Power PRO 8 liquid cooled sub-woofers. But want to use Nylon as the material, this one I don't think will use Nylon filament, but that may change in a later revision.
These are amazing projects and I'm glad you are sharing them with the community. Would this be a decent bedroom speaker for a mini head amp for a guitar set up? I'm using a JOYO ZOMBIE Amplifier Mini Tube Head 20 Watt with Audio-Technica ATH-M50x for the time being as of right now. Seems like a fun project to try out! Otherwise I'd love to see a 3d printed cabinet dedicated for a guitar.
I'd love to see you do a small (3.5-to-5-inch-ish) studio reference monitor with (a) full-range driver(s). Something with no crossover distortion that can give a good sense of what's really happening in the broad midrange but with enough low-end extension to define the fundamental frequency of a kick drum (60hz-ish). I like to record drums in mono through a single speaker to help me avoid phase cancellation pitfalls. I usually pan everything to one speaker but it would be nice to have a dedicated drum recording speaker which could double as a full-range mix reference monitor (like an Auratone but with more bass).
@@HexiBase Interesting! Are you inclined to something like the reference back-loaded horn (which is a big-ass box) or a bass reflex design?
Hi HexiBase,
Thank you for the design. But what do you recon is the best way to fit a 4" driver into this? Should I widen the hole or scale the whole thing up?
compact and high quality
it would be nice to see something like this for a 4'' speaker, i'm plining to use the dayton audio TCP115-4 with a matching tweeter
As always...Outstanding.
Your music has a hint of Tipper... I like it.
@@HexiBase I completely agree, and I also agree that your music has similar elements to Tipper's music. Please keep making it, there isn't enough good music like this!
@@HexiBase yeah, he's the master of the Tip Hop. We have had the opportunity to have him play a couple times at my stage at The Living Room Stage at Shambhala Music Festival. Cool guy, very picky about the sound. His agent was super intense, made us flatten FOH eqs right before he played. Had us scrambling a bit... lol, still was awesome... super clean and we still had headroom.
Love your channel... long time audio nerd myself so I feel we are kindred spirits.
You need ora graphene' s 3 inch driver. Contact them for development kit . It'll blow you away.
Nice work.
You should add your speakers to the "customer photo gallery" on parts express by writing a review.
With the links to your content of course 😎
@@HexiBase Oh, and you should really switch back to gyriod infill.
It prints significantly faster, is easier on the whole machine with less jerking and overall stronger.
Just stick to high perimeter counts since that is where you get the most structually gains anyway.
It may also be in your interst to play with the "nozzel size" to get tighter perimeters but this is something that needs to be experimenteted with to get "a feeling" how it behaves.
You can trick the slicer to slice some mazing things this way ;-D
@@HexiBase Uhhhh Simplify3D is a heavy weight with a myriads of advanced options especially in terms of job planning 👍
But don't get to set on one single slicer try other options like cura or prusa's slicer from time to time since each has its own niche and specialities and very active devlopment.
And why is the god damn spellchecking not working get a grip chrome 🙄
your music is beautiful. thank you for the links.
You should give tang band a heads up on your projects.
I just feel bad for those empty shelves.
Without a doubt the best audio videos on RUclips. I've watched every single video and eagerly await more!
On that note, you inspired me to create my own Speaker cabinets with a 3D printer and I'd like to get your input or an honest review? Would love to know what I did wrong/right.
Happy to provide STLs or f3d (messy, I'm new to fusion and made this in a weekend) I'll be making the STLs available on Thingyverse if they don't suck.
As usual, I'm watching your video through my Infinity IL40s. These sound great for their size. Well done.
Do you do any EQ adjustments on your videos?
Awesome work, next time please use something more common and bit more powerful. This driver is very hard to get (especially in eu). Thanks for great work!
Is the transient response in 6th, and 8th order bandpass enclosures bad enough to be very noticable? Looking for a high efficiency box design to cover from roughly 30 - 80 hz, and can't decide between a bandpass or folded horn design.
Great build in the vid, these tang band drivers look great.
One more amazing product !!!!
@@HexiBase You are welcome !!! I see you still using my advice on the Tongue and Groove from where you were asking for advice on how to joint your old project so it does not leak !!! Great and simple, hope it serves you well in the future and have a great new 2020 welcoming :) !!!
Hello and good afternoon I have to say you are one of the most intuitive audio gurus I have ever listened to your videos are awesome and very knowledgeable quick question I have a set of 12 in Jensen field coil woofers which enclosure design would work the best to squeeze the most out of these high efficiency antique drivers for Mid Bass I am thinking along the line of a flared T line
Really interesting channel and some impressive designs. How come you didnt use any damping material in the closure?
Amazing! Thank you.
this is art dude
Another awesome project! You truly are a genius in this field. I would really love to see you make something that we could use to improve the sound quality of our echo dots and other like devices. Any ideas? Thanks for all of the knowledge you share with all of us!
@@HexiBase Yes. That is exactly what I was thinking. That would be awesome!
Great video.
Did you get a new Camera ?
Compared to older videos there is close to no noise in the pictures, not even in shadows.
The picture quality is awesome and the slider moves and color grade add to that. It shows that you care about quality.
that is nice to see.
@@HexiBase thanks for the answer. It's great to see quality content. That is quite an investment you did there.
Keep up the good work.
How do you design your speakers? Any tips on the calculations of the vent?
Big thumbs up from a total audio noob!
I was just wondering. If I were to add some material on the outside, is the sound going to be different or is it just the inside that matters? If I for example would like to make the speaker look like a ball but keeping the insides as your model shows?
What do you do with the prints that dont work out? How do you recycle them? Is there a way to make them back into a filament you could reuse?
Ill pay shipping to receive and review lol. Awesome video of the tons of informational videos ty
I love your content man!
Cool stuff Pete. Any chance of getting the program for the enclosures?
can i use alternative options (of the same brand) for these speakers?
Because they will be in plain sight at my place and don't like the driver very much.
I do understand that all the parameter are based on this driver.
Other than that everything you make is great content and very informative!
Although as a Dutchman I do have some trouble understanding all the technical terms
Nice job. Did you add acoustic damping inside the enclosure?
I just found your channel a few days ago, I was hooked right away. You deliver the information in a very informative yet engaging way. I'm in the process of making my own portable bluetooth speaker and I want to apply one of your "snake/wave" patterns. Could I make a "box" applying your pattern with four drivers and a sub?
I don't have a 3D printer but, I will be getting a CNC machine in June which is what I will be using to create this. What amp do you use on your desk? (when you connect your test speakers to for the videos)
Thank you in advance. I greatly appreciate your time and knowladge. Stay safe and have a great day!
Thanks, now I have to buy 3D printer, Amazing you can get this for under 200.00.
You should design a car audio sub for cars with trunk that can be printed on the longer lk4 pro
6:10 Does that mean you're still doing vehicle enclosure designs? It's been my dream to get one from you and was crushed when I heard you stopped. I promise it will only be in the vehicle you design it for and won't put it online! Much love regardless, so glad you're back on RUclips.
Would love to see you run these paired up with your new 3" sub.
I'm about to start a print project with this in mind, a 2.1 build. Just ordered all the parts, will take a few days to complete after that. I'm gonna print these bookshelf speakers with his 3" Tang band enclosure.
@@modernrunner how are you going to power it? Love to try this for PC speakers
@@Uplinkpr0 I have finished the project and it sounds amazing. I'm using the Dayton Audio 2.1 100w amp. You can get it from parts express for about $80 usually. It would be awesome if he could figure out a design for the bookshelf speakers to have the 3" sub included in the enclosure. I'm trying to learn 3D design so I can work on it myself
@@modernrunner awesome, these look like they would be great for PC speakers!
The speaker seem to sound very "hollow" or maybe it's the room you recorded in?
Question- what gauge wire are you using inside the cabinet, and are you using a lead free solder? If so, do you have one you suggest?
with a port that long, does it not have a series of resonances? if so, and hypothetically, does that change if your port/guide is an exponential horn? is a passive radiator better than a long port if expense & complexity are not factors? why is bass reflex always a sudden transition from box to port? is there any use for a gradual transition, or is that what a transmission line speaker is?
