Hey guys,

Just a thought, has anyone tried vinyl-wrapping (like on cars ala Yiannimize) their IEMs and then sealing it with UV lacquer or UV gel to make it skin-safe? Theoretically, one could achieve a full carbon fiber IEM ala JH Audio/Jomo, among other finishes, but I was wondering if anyone here has tried it to test its practicality.

Thanks!

I've done that for faceplates and it's worked fairly well, but I think the shells are too small and too complicated to get a good wrap on them. Even when heated, vinyl can't stretch to that degree.

Ahh alright, thanks for the feedback!

Hello everyone.
I own "ED29689" and "CI22955".
I would like to copy "JH Audio JH5 pro".

Please tell me the capacitor I should use.
Please tell me which half coil or full coil should be connected.

The shell has already been completed.

Check out these impressions I'm working on, probably the most unique anatomy I've worked on. They won't be the prettiest outside the ear, but know one would tell with them in!!! Anyone else work on any ears similar to this??

1.5uf high pass, half coil.

Gotta love the effort. Done.

Thank you very much!
I will report it when it is completed

What is the half coil? Can you explain it.

What is the half coil? Can you explain it.

Some drivers have 3 solder pads in the back instead of the regular two, like the sonion 2389 or ED 29689.
Soldering one of the leads using the center tap is often referred as half coiled.
Using it half coiled will result in a higher treble output from that driver.

I bought SR 32453.
It is planned to merge with dynamic driver (purchased with aliexpress).
I think SR 32453 does not require a filter.
Am I wrong?

Finished up the IEM's from the molds I posted on Friday. They came out very pretty. Red Fotoplast with custom logo cut from vinyl using my wife's Silhouette Cameo plotter.

Guys, what kind of glue you use to fix the connectors and faceplates. My acrylic is exfoliateson the shell, superglue is fragile and can not withstand loads when connecting/disconnecting the cable. I tried the cheap Chinese glue (Loco 1000), but it must be used in a thin layer, it does not harden completely when I try to attach the connector on the shell. Yomogi, with your permission, steal explaining the picture.
Future projects plan to use epoxy resin. Or try another UV glue. Kafuter K-3022 for example. And what glues you use for different purposes?
