  There is this video, doesn't look to messy.
This vid also contain the dipping process of the ear impression in wax. (dustdevil)

Nice vid, but what's the purpose of applying wax using a brush before dipping the impression?

Hey guys.  Just thought I would show off a few sets I recently completed.  The Carbon Fibers are GK plus an extra CI and the Woody/Steampunks are CI + ED. 
 
Thank you all for the knowledge, inspiration, and patience.

 I have no idea. Maybe he just wanted to rectify/add a thicker layer in those area.

Great work! I see you managed to make a 3 bore design. What tube diameter did you use? What did you use to drill 3 holes without the canal breaking or is it one big hole filled?

Thanks! I believe it is 1.6 or 1.8. Yes, I just dremmel out the business end as thin as I can without breaking it. Which has taken some trial and much error. Then, pour fotoplast down the tubes and cure it. Thanks for all your input! I tell people all the time that this thread is all the info you need to DIY CIEM!

Looks great! Are you adding Laquer 3 to get such smooth finishes or have you perfected your investment making like Shilosjustice?

Lacquer 3 has been my new best friend!  I am getting much better at acquiring that polished look using Shilos method, but Lac3 is just SO easy and clean that it is hard not to do.  Plus, it is very thin and goes on uniform, so you can gradually add on layers in order to get the perfect fit.
 
Thanks!

Many people do many things to relax after a long day, some play golf, some watch TV, some like to do nothing, I prefer to tinker...........

What a welcoming sight to come home to after a rough day at work.



This is where I plan on being for the next several hours.

Well my desk is a mess now, lol.

I get my connectors off of eBay, $35 for 100 count. I also prefer the round tip connectors instead of the oval surface mount ones.

Oh, a quick tip with the connectors I get - use flat edge snips to shorten or remove the legs. I typically trim 3 completely off and shorten the other 2 so they do not come into contact with the drivers in small shells.

That is my happy place as well.  We should all post pics of our workstations.  However, after seeing your, I am going to do some serious cleaning/organization.  
 
Thanks for the tip on the MMCX.  What is your source for Litz wire?  
 
Thanks
