    Home-Made IEMs

    If you’re talking about the internal wires, those are litz wires, where you could buy in aliexpress, Taobao, etc. If you’re talking about the cable, it’s some SPC cable, similar to what Penon Audio sells.

    Oof. Thanks for informing, am editing my post.

    As far as audiology specific lacquers go, there is Egger LP/H Lacquer, Pro3dure L-1, Nicefit Lacquer… I only have the Egger LP/H antibacterial though, so I can’t comment on anything. Mcear does sell lacquers if you live in that region. As for how I got mine, it’s a bit unconventional so I won’t...

    Sure. But a lot of caveats: 1. I now realize you're likely talking about the USB-C dongle which I don't have, while I use a lightning dongle xD 2. My particular dongle has gigachad bass roll-off, where I have seen some without and some with. YMMV to whoever uses this. 3. It is not SPL calibrated...

    I personally had zero luck with loopback calibration with the Apple Dongle, so what I did instead was to measure the same IEM with a calibrated card, then with the Apple Dongle, exported both graphs as text files, then wrote a Python program to subtract between the two output files and used that...

    Looking at the graph, I'm guessing you performed the calibration with the IEM plugged into the mic. When the calibration, which is the measured FR of the IEM, is applied to the measured FR of the IEM (the same graph), it results in a flat line as you have gotten. They cancel each other out. Try...

    Instant Meshes is what I use now, works to create quads and is publicly available for download on GitHub. I'm not sure about the rules on posting links so I'll refrain. That being said though, that is a LOOOT of faces there... Fusion 360 grinds to a halt on my laptop if I tried this xD

    Home-Made IEMs

    Oh! That's reassuring to hear. I suppose it's a matter of practice from here on out then. I'll message you if I end up needing more help, thanks a lot for offering! As for the edges causing the inside surface to explode out, is there a way to prevent that or is that just how it is? I'm using...

    Definitely easier to get the curves and shapes I want with Meshmixer, albeit at the cost of overly smoothed edges and bumpy surfaces. I could use this and manually sand to my desired shape anyways, but just to be sure, any way to clean it up more in software or is this where it ends?

    I converted my STL to a quad mesh OBJ with a software called Instant Meshes, which allows me to convert the OBJ to a T-spline form in Fusion 360 instead, which is a mathematical way of defining a form rather than defined through triangles that has to be reduced to work in Fusion 360. Then I...

    Home-Made IEMs

    Hey there, for anyone who has cut their impressions digitally before, could I ask for some feedback on my workflow? I feel like there's definitely a better and more efficient way I don't know about. It's first time dealing with organic shapes, or editing an STL at all for that matter. I've...
