Printed two new shells. With a two sound bores and a notch for cerumen. These are just prototypes they are not polished lacquered or anything else.
Is this a sla print or fdm looks very nice. I was thinking my self to get a printer. How did you scan the impressions ?

I got lucky and bought a scanner for scanning impressions at eBay. This is an sla print.

Edit: Before i did that i scanned impressions using DAVID SLS with own hardware. Thats the only "cheap option" i can think of. But still sla printing the shells is quite an investment. You need a printer which is capable of printing biocompatable resin. These resins don´t have much photoinitiator in them so a LCD type printer won´t do. The resin itself is pretty expensive as well (350-40€/L).

Tbh i think the printers are a problem at least they are expensive as a 200€ LCD printer won´t cure the resin. I´m in contact with an audiogolist which orders this stuff for me. I will get Pro3dure resin in about a week. Someone wants a pair of monitors done and is paying for it. I´ll keep you posted if you are interestedt. I could also send you a small ammount of resin if you want to try it out.

Longer tube, peaks shift left. Shorter, to the right.

Bigger ID makes peaks flatter, raises the rest of the output to be louder. Smaller ID is peakier. Typically.
Thank you :D
