Home-Made IEMs
Feb 3, 2015 at 9:58 AM Post #3,123 of 15,974
Some experimenting with shells:

Blank slate - anything is possible with these. But definitely two thumbs-up! Trying to cure solid color opaque shells is a bit of a pain.



Black and Pearl swirling. Need to improve my technique as there are bubbles in the surface that I don't like.




Wonder flower graphic prototype. Definitely eye catching for the girls. It's a little dirty/gritty because the shell was just one of my throw-aways I was testing with but the concept of applying these kinds of graphic is something worth exploring more.



Still working on some cheap dynamic IEMs.

Happy building!

I use egger. I don't know where to buy Dreve. I've tried with them but it seems I need to provide some import documents... Too troublesome...Egger has a local reseller, so I just use egger.

Guys, how bubble free is Egger? The bubbles in my clear and translucent shells, regardless how small, bugs the crap out of me.

I know I can improve the clarity of them by curing them under 50 - 60psi but that means building a pressure pot rigged with UV light which I don't want to spend money on at the moment.

BTW, I use thick acrylic nail gel and thin it with Gelos gel thinner.

Thanks

Where did you get Egger products from?
 
Thanks in advance

Try Hydrographics You tube it alot of custom car shops do it and you can diy it. There is carbon fiber patterns also.

Holy C**p! man... this is outstanding. I think you just put some big guys to shame with this. This is simply jaw dropping design.

How did you make the Black and Pearl swirling? I like to try that as well.

This is basically the method that I used but, like everything else, i'll take some practice.
