As I'm getting deeper into my Solidworks (3d CAD) studies and been enjoying my MS1s, I've come to think that what about CNC milling the cups and maybe also the "C"-part holding the cups out of metal?
I've searched through the forums for DIY Grado metals but only seem to find some people doing woodies for Grados.
Is it that the wood is a better enclosure material for Grados than metal? Or is it just the tools and amount of work needed thats scared DIY metal enclosure attempts off?
I've got the program and access to a cnc mill. The design for the enclosures shouldn't be anything hard to do, given I dismantle the MS1s for exact dimensions. So the question is: Is it worth attempting or should I maybe think of attempting a woodie?
I might also get something else from the grado line to attempt it with, if there's something more suitable for metal enclosures than MS1s (sr60->sr225)
I'd appreciate your thoughts on the idea and also on which metal to use / the acoustic properties of different metals.
