    RMAF: RIP :-(

    I attended it in 2019. It was quite an amazing event. I'm disappointed and at the same time not surprised. They sent an email saying that masks would be optional for attendees and that exhibitors could put up signs to enact whatever health policy they wanted in their space. I would wager...

    "Open Alpha" T50 3D printed headphone project from MrSpeakers

    M3 set screws work well. Length is up to you. M3x8 or M3x10 seem to be have been the popular choices. You may also want to run an m3 tap in there before the screws. If the set screws get stuck and you strip the tiny allen sockets in them you will be up a creek without a paddle.

    Fostex T50RP Incremental Mods and Measurements

    I'm under the impression that the original alpha dogs had modified diaphragms. That is something that no one on this forum has attempted to my knowledge. Mostly due to ease of distroying the drivers. You can do the mayflower mod kit, or just get dampening materials and start experimenting. Alpha...

    You can use the modded cups that I did with adjustable bass ports.

    What's your favorite Fostex T50rp mod?

    The mods can go as far as you want to take them, anything from a little tweaking with pad rolling, to complete transformation. I caution you though, T50 modding is a hobby. You may end up spending a lot of time and money on the mods. Tweaking and tinkering to make them the sound signature...

    I use m3x15. if you want to close it more to reduce bass get a longer screw like m3x20 or m3x25. Alternatively if you can't find metric you can go with 6-32. You can even use a larger screw size like m3.5 or 8-32. No matter what thread you use, you will need to tap the hole with a tap for...

    Facfox is another one that has gotten some praise lately in the open alpha thread. Check out the list few posts by FireLion.

    I'll try to get some up soon. I've been photo documenting the entire build. I went with mmcx connectors.

    I would recommend SLA or SLS printing for waveguides. They require a high level of detail and smoothness to work as intended. Unfortunately I cannot do them. There are plenty of online services that print and ship though. Just Google it and you will come up with a bunch. I used Shapeways for...

    "Open Alpha" T50 3D printed headphone project from MrSpeakers

    I have a Prusa i3 that I originally built from scratch in 2011 and I have upgraded it over time. It has a Wades extruder, e3D hot end and a decent heated bed. The frame is MDF and it has a RAMBO 1.1 board. I am running 3mm black ABS. It's a dinosaur compared to what you can buy today, but it...

    "Open Alpha" T50 3D printed headphone project from MrSpeakers

    I think the reason Mr Speakers decided to use ABS, is that it is easy to finish with acetone. It's super easy to smooth the ridges with acetone, lightly sand and then paint. Other materials like nylon are harder to finish. Lots of sanding ect. PLA would be ok for finishing, but like...

    "Open Alpha" T50 3D printed headphone project from MrSpeakers

    I have not tried Facfox. I have my own printers. I did 3 outer shells and 15% infill with the crosshatch pattern. I don't have a solid infill set to compare to. It would require too much effort to duplicate the build that I have exactly except for the shells. One thing that makes these...

    Wow, you put a lot of work into that. I am very curious to see where this project goes. Could this possibly help predict what wave guide geometry would work best?
