Just listened to some Fostex T50RPs today... WOW!

Going all out redesigned the cup. It has a suspension structure it eliminates vibrations as well as pivots in any direction to give you the best possible fit. Also this will allow for a lighter clamping pressure,

interesting, fit and pressure are good things, but not sure about the vibration thing. With microphones or quadcopter cameras, it makes sense. Keeping the mic away from noise and vrbrations coming through the stand. But the cups will be pressed to your head, and the headband... well its a band for your head. If anything, more support for the cup would be better.

Yes, isolating it would help with noise, but there will still be cable noise anyways. Besides it only isolates it from vibrations, but if the object you're isolating is the one making vibrations (sound) as its purpose, I'd say keep it as stable as possible. Reduce distortion

Hence mass loading....



Hmm, but it could help keep vibrations transferring from one cup to the other.... hopefully the cups don't move much on their own while the drivers are running, so they can get away with the suspension system, adding the comfort

It looks like with the wood and metal are going to be heavy enough to keep vibrations down. Prototypes heh


But my goodness, it's freaking gorgous.

something like that have blackhawk (or something like that) I think its nice idea and should fit your ear nicely whatever head shape you have. Planarmagnetic you are improving a lot your design and have really nice ideas.

New back plate design you will be able to screw it off and change them to your liking any material open or closed easy access to mod to your liking.

Now that, is soooo cool.

Much better then stressing the wires every time you open the cup.

Carbon fiber here I come xD

Brass hardware bosses so the plastic doesn't degrade unscrew and rescue as many times as you like.

They came out way better then I expected I tested them out it is a very light even pressure.

Is it ABS or PLA you use cause they came pretty clean? I got some baffles made with PLA and they came jagged on one side because of the printsheet. Nice result. I'm looking forward for some measurements.

It is resin from a stereolithography printer 

 

[tarsonis]

Ah nice. Right. Forgot that method is way more precise. And the printer were way more expensive. what printer you use? Is it the formlabs?

 

[planarmagnetic]

Yeah a form 1+ I have my own digifab shop CNC laser cutter 3d printer.

Nice one! As my fulltimejob is 3D artist for a game developer I always had a great interest in the movement in the 3D print sector. The formlab/stereolithography ones are the way to go if you want quality as I think. Never learned real CAD modelling. Done my baffles with 3Ds Max as thats what I'm used to since a decade. But it was a pain in the a** getting it done precise with the screw threads.
What do you use for modelling? Rhino with Vray? As your renderings and materials look really nice. Sorry for Offtopic.
In the end I'm curious if the new frame helps the T50 to shine

 

[planarmagnetic]

I use solid works its the industry standard and rendered in keyshot.

:O

Looking fantasic. already saving my pennies (not that we have those in Canada anymore)

Would have done a better job snipping the pictures, on my phone currently though

Is the cup motion controlled soley through the elastics? Or will there be gimbal too?

Oh, man, the stealth ones look so good...

How did you paint the rails?
