    sorry, I meant the heated inserts that gb160 did. I kinda want to start another one, but even the reinforced one is prone to split with wood pla. I guess I'll just start buying heated inserts and see how it goes

    ???? The one I'm referencing is the stl that has threaded inserts but only has the bass holes and 3.5mm connectors. I'm pretty sure that post#1 doesn't have threaded inserts...

    I realize that it's been a while but is there a version where there's a bass screw and hirose connectors?

    Actually the last layer of urushi lacquer is supposed to be the clear coat, but my stupid butt thought to try to make it a transparent red by mixing a little too much iron oxide. If the last layer of lacquer had a bit less iron oxide mixed in, I probably would have gotten what I wanted. After...

    Sadly, I couldn't get the same finish as the th900, probably put the lacquer on too thick over the silver leaf. It definitely looks pretty good though

    Grado SR80 wiring

    hi, I have the same issue with my left channel on my grado sr60s and did the same thing as you. I thought I was going crazy for a while and kept on soldering and re-soldering the contacts on the driver.

    That's without shipping included too... Well, they usually have a discount code somewhere or if you don't mind waiting, a promo period will pop up soon. I got quoted around 100usd because of that.
