Outstanding looking set of cans HiGHFLYiN9!!! The cups look deeper then what smeggy produces, is that true?
Couple questions though:
1. Short of using a CNC lathe, how do you make sure your cups are turned identically. I'm sure there isnt much of an effect on sound but i care about cosmetics too
2. I have access to 3D printers and wonder if it's worth just having the cups and baffles printed. Based on what i've read in this forum, material doesnt matter as long as you seal well and it's damped enough.
3. Anyone know how to make the CTH without the pcb. I've pretty much searched this entire forum (and the CTH thread) and haven't really found anyone willing to sell the pcb.
1. They don't have to match perfectly, as long as each baffle match its cups, and that's not too hard to do on a non-cnc woodturning lathe. You should worry about matching the patterns of your wood instead / chooses pieces that will yield similar texture.
2. 3D printers usually print in plastic right ? Well, the forums will tell you that any kind of hardwood would do for the cups and that you don't need to buy exotic high density wood. But plastics are another ball game. You tell us what your printers can do and how soft / light is the end result.
3. Can't help you there.
The 3d printers i use are connex objet 500's. They print in this soft but very dense plastic. It would most definitely sink if a solid piece was thrown in water. I think i'm going to print them anyway just to see how it sounds. I'll update on the sound if anyone's actually interested.
