    3D printed stax sigma enclosure?

    Yeah at that time Stax France was selling off their spare (replacement) parts on ebay, I got a pair of regular bias Sigma and a Pair of Pro Bias Lambda drivers both for $100 a pair, but that was in the 1990s, I made enclosures for the Pro Bias Lambdas recently too (but I made those enclosures...

    3D printed stax sigma enclosure?

    I actually got the Sigma regular bias drivers on ebay from Stax France back in the 1990s (cost $100 for a pair) but I never used them until I made the enclosures for them recently, I don't know if any sells them anymore.

    3D printed stax sigma enclosure?

    Yeah you could try that and see if that works, just be careful (wouldn't want to damage them).

    3D printed stax sigma enclosure?

    Or maybe there is a double sided tape that is strong enough to hold the drivers in place but I couldn't find it, but if there is that would be the best solution.

    3D printed stax sigma enclosure?

    Either they used some stronger type of double sided tape (I couldn't find any tape that strong) or it was some kind of rubber cement type glue it was attached to the front of the drivers but I didnt want to do that and risk any glue getting into the drivers so I just glued the side of the...

    3D printed stax sigma enclosure?

    One hard part was connecting the drivers onto the enclosure I tried double sided tape but none was strong enough (the drivers always fell off), I ended up having to epoxy glue one of the sides of the driver onto the enclosure making sure not to get any glue into the drivers (which would have...

    3D printed stax sigma enclosure?

    Yeah I could have, I don't think I need the dovetail I used enough epoxy it seems very strong (after the wood was glued together I filled it in with some extra epoxy just to be sure it can't ever come apart), I used goop glue on the last piece of wood (the side piece) just in case I ever have...

    3D printed stax sigma enclosure?

    I finished the headphones they sound great and look pretty good too (I used the regular bias stax drivers, the pro bias ones are a bit thicker so I'm not sure they will fit right inside the enclosers they might need to be attached on the frone wall (outside the enclosers) otherwise the ears...

    3D printed stax sigma enclosure?

    I just dilled the holes in the enclosures to put them on the headband assembly, one hole goes on the back wall, and the other hole goes on the front wall the hole on the back wall is about 1/4" from the ear hole side, and the one on the front wall in right on the edge of the ear hole side they...

    3D printed stax sigma enclosure?

    You do need a right angle bracket to hold the wood against for the 5 minute the epoxy takes to set, I just used the side of a small heavy space heater I had which had a flat side, and the bottom piece was put on a flat kitchen counter top, and I just held the wood side up flush against the space...

    Did anyone ever find a good way to make a Stax Sigma enclosure with a 3D printer?, it's a good idea if anyone ever figures it out.

    Vintage Stax repair and maintenance

    Yeah definitely if you hook it up to an amp like that I would suggest getting a lower power amp for it like around 30 watts (15 per channel) would be best I definitely wouldn't go over 50 watts (25 per channel).
