Hey guys, I'm looking to learn how to make my own headphone drivers, I have a rather unique design that I want to test out. I've already designed the drivers in some cad software, nothing fancy but just enough to give me an idea of what the final product may look like.
I'd like to know where I can souce the following parts and materials:
And here are the actual parts and their basic dimensions.
If anyone wants to see some CAD sketches or renderings, I can provide them. However I can't provide proper CAD drawings, I still haven't quite figured out Onshape's CAD drawing toolset. If I had access to it outside of school, I would have done this all on Autodesk Inventor.
I'd like to know where I can souce the following parts and materials:
- Custom Neodymium magnets (Or another type of magnet common in headphone drivers)
- Production grade ABS plastic parts. (Important, but I'll 3D print out some test parts if I really have to.)
- speaker coils, or wire to make speaker coils.
- Material good for making driver membranes with.
- An adhesive that can be applied cleanly and accurately. (Not particularly worried about this)
And here are the actual parts and their basic dimensions.
- Magnet with centered hole - 42mm inner diameter, 68mm outter diameter.
- 42mm ABS inner plastic ring - aproximately 8.1mm tall
- 70mm ABS outter plastic frame - 1/4 inches deep for magnet, 2mm deep for membrane
- Magnetic coil - aproximately 0.07 inches deep, aprox 52.25mm diameter
- membrane ring - 40mm inner diamter, 68mm outer diamter.
