That is truly hard core DIY
You mean in December 2013? At that time only the driver has arrived.you are welcome the next time you are in Vietnam
Hey Frank, I'm in Phu My Hung, District 7 - I'd love to hear these sometime!
Cheers,

Haha this is where I live also. Just PMed you. Maybe someone can post an impression of my headphones after all.
The HD800 driver is a ring design, so the back of the driver has no holes. I made the cup with quite a large internal volume and lots of vents/bass port for tuning. Similarly on the ear side of the driver, the center of the driver is a hole, so if you cover the circumference, all the sound is blocked. I think Sennheiser designed the driver with this issue in mind, so the ring design would solve the problem of peaks. However the peak comes when they made the headphones extremely open and use extensively the steel mesh. I have no experience with the material but I suspect its the source of treble peaks.
I'm a bit hesitating to send him a headphones full of blutack But definitely it's on my next do to list
Might be a bit too late but if you want to get rid of the rough edges from the 3d printing and give it a nice polished piano look you can look at acetone polishing.
I used to do this for 3D printed ABS plastic prototypes for work but it's a bit dangerous as you need to heat up acetone and then hold the 3d printed part in the fumes for 15-20 mins. The effect is stunning if you can pull it off.
I don't think most people really appreciate how amazing this DIY is. Really great stuff, keep it up. Can't wait to see the measurements!
