Another noob question. Does something like Elegoo Mars series work for printing housings?
Get Anycubic Photon Mono, cheaper and works perfect

Thanks for the information!
I found a really cheap impedance box on AliEx I wonder if it is ok?

I also have the feeling it would be rather hard to modify or build a hybrid set with DD. What are the cons from your experience?
I tried using a hairdryer and it actually worked, not too hot I could still hold the heated driver with my fingers. Acetone will actually melt the plastic, won't it?
Since you mentioned using the ZST as a mold, I think you may check out the CCA CSN. It is really spacious and quite fun to mod.
Dude why don't you make a planar hybrid? Like DD tuning is hard, I would put that effort in tuning a planar 10mm driver, tunes the same way

I can't open the link.

Good for you then. I always had a bad time with heat and DD hahaha. Not really, I think some plastics can be dissolved by Acetone but not all. If it does, then it will be easier to pry off the driver, won't it?

I don't use other shells anymore, I abandoned the ZST mold years ago. I now create my own shells and print them out or do the traditional pour method.

Casue sometimes I want to keep the shells and reuse on other projects. Guess I should experiment with acetone.

Haha, technology advancement it is. I don't have a resin 3d printer yet and can't do this myself.

I am not actually a fan of planar driver. I had the Tri i3 and the **** MT100 Pro and I think I prefer DDs and BAs.

Hi everyone,

Working on plans to build my first custom IEM, the plans for the shell are all set and I have some ideas for good and relatively easy internals. But I would love to hear the opinions around here for a relatively easy setup with good detail and a relatively neutral soundstage (quite sensitive to bass and high frequencies). As I said would appreciate all recommendations! Looking forward to building and showing them off.

Cheers,
Hugo

I'ld suggest the Finale2, it's an easy build with outstanding detail. It's a bit light on the bass for me, but it matches your description very well.

See here for a comparison of a few I built:

Hi, I would like to start with the BS6, but the 10013 is hardly available. Can I combine two Bellsing 30017s and a Knowles 30008 (Bellsing DTEC is hard to get...)?

Anyway, has anyone seen the KB EAR Neon yet? Seems like an attempt at making a more affordable ER4 priced at $50. And reviews make it seem like it's very close to the ER4SR if you don't mind the deep insertion.

Makes me wonder how hard'll be to one up what I can only assume is a deceptively well implemented ED-29689 at $50.

It's actually not ER4 as Fyre did a response, looks like, they added less resistance to ED and that's why uppermid didn't rise as ety did

ER4 is 20ohm standard with green damper at end of 8mm tube

KB ear tube seems to shorter than that and the series resistance also seems to look smaller

This is the old classic ER4 design and it has nothing to do with ER4SR and XR
