I was wondering about silicone custom sleeves for universal iems. What's your approach to shaping the nozzle? Also, can you make sleeves without a customer shipping their own over? I imagine that it isn't recommended for iems whose shells may have variations between different units. Thanks!
Currently all tips are modeled in 3D so if you want tips for something we have already done tips for then you don't have to send your IEMs. So if you let me know what IEMs you have I will be able to tell you whether we can do tips or not.
The tips are canal portion only, we don't do tips that cover whole IEM - like @Deezel177 said

Unfortunately I'm not planning a purchase at the moment, but I was wondering if you accept 3D scans of impressions for the tips and/or other 3D printed products. I'm more or less making a list of what IEMs I can possibly buy without making new impressions. Mostly out of laziness. However if a future fibae flagship is a non-3D printed product, I'll gladly get some new impressions made and sent over.
I enquired with my audiologist about digital scans. They don't do them but did some digging around on my behalf. Seems snugs in the uk are the only ones who do digital atm, and then in only certain places in the uk.
Yes they are PlusSound. David has terminated mainly plussound for me. I will let @SeeSax comment on Eidolic vs. PlusSound.
I think the IEM-X could be part of a portable set up. I would be worried about the white sleeve getting dirty.
I will not make a dirty analogy.... I will not make a dirty analogy ....
Well, on that dirty note you can see from my picture that the part going around the back of the ear is discolored. I do tell myself that the stain is from an attractive woman wearing the cable for an extended period of time.
I have already purchased some cable wraps (available sizes: 1/8", 1/4", 1/2", 3/4" & 1") in anticipation of the SilverFi cables. I'm not sure if I will just use for the ear hooks or the entirety of the cable. My heatshrinks will be black in color.
So with the round braiding of the R1 + black heatshrink + cable wraps = slight chance of making the R1 portable with somewhat stealthiness. Use will be 80% transportable (Office) + 20% portable as needed.
I have zero interest in mass-produced aftermarket cables, so trying everything to make the SilverFi work. That is why I really enjoy your post. If I have a future need for a portable portable cable, I can stick with SilverFi with good ergonomics as shown in your photos.
Plan A:
Desktop: R4
Transportable/Portable: R1
Plan B:
Desktop: R4
Transportable: R1
Portable: IEM-X
I had no Plan B before your post.
Photos below is the 1 inch. So the wrap expands about 5X. Hoping the 1/8" is enough.
If these peculiar ergonomics can be improved, it makes the cables more enjoyable as they get out of your way.

To avoid confusion, my ear impressions were still done using the traditional method. The digital part is scanning the physical ear impressions into digital STL files.
I think you might be referring to getting ear impressions digitally which I think some do by scanning you ear canal with some sort of scanner.
I have a pair done by Emsee Labs here in Canada for my Earsonic Velvet V2. No issues with taking it out of my ear after an year of use. They've been around for a long time, so I assume its because they know what they're doing.
Unfortunately its medical grade silicone which my ears seem to not like and my ears start to hurt after 2 hours or so consistently. If I recall correctly, they dont do custom tips in acrylic at all, which may alleviate my problems.
And don’t forget, the magnitude of a peak matters more than the placement. I’ve hardly ever heard a universal that sounded worse in custom form; in the treble especially.
Some ears aren't compatible with customs. Like excessive wet wax, weird bends and curves etc. So it might actually be worthwhile to get a pair of ear impressions done first before shopping so the audiologist might reveal any nasty surprise beforehand.
One of the main reasons I've stuck with Custom Art (besides top notch friendly service and great sound) is the fact that for a small fee you can have the customs turned into universals if you don't like the fit or feel of the customs so you are not totally out on the experience.
Wow, that's definitely something to consider. Custom Art is looking more attractive now despite being overseas. Also, the fact that @piotrus-g seems to be very much engaged here on the forum says a lot and is something that really scores points with me. I may be asking more questions about Custom Art now and which model suits me - see what a pandora's box you opened?
This is less than ideal as I understand it. You want to be as close to the drum as possible and also get as much volume taken up (not too much play in the canal even if there's a seal in the concha) by the fit. Am I right in these assumptions?
Your rainbow bite blocks have disappeared from the thread, reported by a member.
I am always surprised how some people report you on this forum, like cheap informers. In France we call these people collaborationists. If someone doesn't like me posting a rainbow dildo, they can just tell me : hey Mim, please avoid these things I don't like it.
