I wanna share some Knowledge on DIY'ing….

Thanks!!

I have and it is awesome. It is a little bit thicker than Lack3 and easier to work with. Also I love the darker black it produces.

Its not without challenges though, here is my first attempt.

What went wrong? Is it see through or opaque?

It’s opaque. Since it’s a bit thicker than Lack you can see the brush strokes.

It doesn't level out?

It does, but slower than Lack3. I think it’s very good and I prefer it over Lack3 for opaque shells, but I have to adapt my brushing technique a little.

Lacquering is one of the hardest to master. Even after a lot of builds, I still miss getting a perfect coat every now and then.

I wonder if you heated it up a bit in a water bath prior to application - might be a little easier to work with?

Didn’t try that. It’s not necessary I think, if you give it a few minutes to spread it turns out very good.
The one in the pictures was the first attempt for me. I was in a hurry (never a good idea) and the next few I did turned out much better.

Does anypne have the FR of MASM 7?

Hey,
I have a pair of GK's and also the respective drivers of Bellsing. But I find them difficult to tune. I find the sound from both the Knowles and the bellsing variant to be "Bloaty". Has anyone experience with that ?

Both need damping and the BS6 needs a Zobel to sound good. Both bass drivers are bloating in the mids and need to be damped.

My damping for BS6 is orange for bass and white for TWFK.

What did you try to tune it?

@Farquarl Have you tried modeling the sound bores directly into the 3D files?
Can I send you files to print the shells out of biocompatible resin? I'm in Switzerland so shipping would probably be pretty cheap.

Yes I did, totally doable. Just hit me with a PM and we can discuss everything there.
