Oh and if it matters, I am more of a classic rocker.
Never done this before but I am planning to to do the Paxmate Lattice Mod with Cotton or Grodan Rock Wool Mod Chapter 22.

I chose this mod because of the ease, relative low expense, and also BMF said they sound similar to the DBV V3. I have a set of MrSpeakers Alpha Pads for Fostex T50RP. The mod calls for Shure 840 Pads, but will the Alpha pads be OK or should I try another mod? Also, how does a mod like this or the DBV V3 compare to MrSpeakers Mad Dogs? Thank you all for your time and effort.
Woot, very exciting. Im so glad they fit, when I have time Ill put them up "For Sale"

It works with alphas that's how I did mine. But I mixed and matched a bit. Alphas give you a deep soundstage but a more "tunnel" like effect that's tough to completely get rid of. If you do the lattice /rock wool mod, I'd also suggest doing the akasa padding on the ear side of the cup.
Hey all!
I have a damaged T50rp driver. Is there anyone out there who would be willing to sell me a driver (or set)? I'd also be willing to purchase the whole headphone as well. Thanks

So while waiting for new wood I decided to salvage the cups I messed up...the friction fit I wanted isn't there, but they work. More improvements planned for the next try (lower profile baffle for more space in the cup, another try at bass ports...)
The cable is simple Mogami, stripped from the Y, which is only heat shrink. I suppose at some point I will remove the ZMF stickers from that headband
Once we finalize the design I'll put them up on shapeways to either buy at cost, or download the file.
I might make a few different versions, like a single print pair, or part treeless ones for home printing.
In short you'll just need a 3D printer. If you want to make the print smooth instead of having a bunch of ridges l, you'll have to make sure it was printed out in ABS plasic. (Most common anyways) then Google the smoothing process. Seems rather simple, I've never tried it though. You don't have to smooth them out, but I fear the ridges may effect sound reflection
this is awesome!
will Shapeways print them for purchase? (sorry, not familiar with this)
anyway, I think I already spent more on materials for upgrading the Fostex than the cost of the headphones themselves
