Has anyone figured out an better way for faceplates?
I use playdoh to make a little dam around the shell, then I pour in some fotoplast and cure for about 1 min, I remove the playdoh and dip the faceplate into glycerin and cure for another minute, then I clean it up with alcohol and sand the borders for a perfect fit.

Can anyone recommend a set of IEMs from aliexpress to open up and use to house a set of GVs? I've seen mention of folks using a set of KZ ZSTs for this? I've contemplated in the past using a set of shure 535 shells for Aliexpress, but I don't like the limitation of using a single damper in the nozzle and the sealing seems to be very finicky.
I've seen folks using an existing set of IEM, like the ZSTs, to house the the BAs. The nozzle on those shells seem large enough that you can do use separate tubes and dampers etc...
Would the ZSTs be a good starting point, or can someone recommend another set that would be a better base for a set of GVs?
Thanks!

Awesome! Easy to open them up? And the GVs fit nicely? Are you happy with how it turned out?

Ok great! I will try that. How many ventholes do you open? and do you remove the tape or the black things? By the way i like a bit punch and bassier (full) sound.

I got the ZST but I'd rather go with ZS3 for better ergonomic fit (and it's cheaper and there's not that much glue to remove inside).
hmm, ventholes with BA ?
I think he meant this:

I used green and brown. Green on HODVTEC and Brown on TWFK. Without dampers at all, the hi’s were way too loud for my taste. Many people use Red on HODVTEC and Green on TWFK but to me, this cut my SPL too much and the Green/Brown brought it back to a level I like.Hey guys, could you please tell me what dampers you use with good result for GV’s?
