I was working on a speaker that I had built a couple of 3d printed horns more based on looks than anything. The link is below.
I used the beastmode tweeter and the DA25BG08-06. I wasn’t happy with either of them in the horn. That is my fault for sure, because I did not use any modeling to make the horns, just Solidworks and some online images that I was modeling after. I really like the woofer in the current alignment, and still want to use it. I thought I would make a speaker pod for the top and use the beastmode tweeter. We will see how this one goes.
That looks phenomenal. I will interested how the tweeter measures on the pod. I will get something printed overnight. The hard part will be routing the lower part of the tweeter into the front baffle.
I got some measurements taken, and they don’t look too bad. My only concern now is whether the CTC distance of the woofer and tweeter it too big. I was trying to still use the box for the woofer, but may be better to just start over. Not sure yet.
Glue a block inside the top front corner so you can carve some meat out the top of the cabinet and push the tweeter farther down the baffle? Could probably even freehand the notch/cutout with a router. Any uglieness would be hidden by the pod housing.
I think this is absolutely fabulous ! I have thought about getting busy with a 3d printer too - for horns. It feels like creating a very even transition at the edge of the dome/faceplate would be very meaningful for the waveform transition / propagation . Please let us know how you progress and what you learn !
I am thinking about redoing this with a wide range driver up top. Then I can cross lower and get the look I wanted. I am looking at a Mark Audio Pluvia 7HD..
Have a pair of these Markaudio Pluvia Seven HD 4" Metal Cone Full Range-Chrome minimally used for Indy25 - need to take photo’s to make sure no blemishes but could send to you for 60 shipped - would keep me from building yet another box heh. They do sound very good, was so tempted to do sacrilege of making 2 way with way up 5k ish xover to a tweet. DM if interested, not desperate to unload but know at least if not suite your fancy easy nuff to feebay them off with minimal harm.
That whole article is about cleaning your 3d printer with alcohol and that creating the microplastics. I don’t know anyone that does that. I haven’t ever cleaned mine with alcohol.
