Audio Stix TL Loudspeaker (Hexibase Remix)

cults3d

Ever wanted transmission line loudspeakers but couldn't take the expense, space, or audiophile snobbery? Hexibase comes to the rescue with his miniature transmission line design for Tectonic TEBM28C10-4/A BMR drivers. I've taken the original acoustic design and remixed it into an upright form that prints as one piece. The chamber volume, port cross section and port length all match the original design. The only significant acoustic change is moving the exit of the port to the back of the speaker. Drivers are still waiting to be delivered, but a draft print of the enclosure has already been done. So it's possible to say that it prints well, integrated supports work, and the speaker cable can be fed through the hole at the back of the base and into the driver chamber. There are STL files available with and without integrated supports, as well as with and without a recess in the front surface for a trim panel. Three perimeters and at least five bottom layers should ensure a good seal across the roof of the chamber, which has significant bridges. After printing, remove the supports, feed the cable through from the small hole in the back of the base, and then fill the hole with blue-tack or glue. Plug it in and enjoy! Note: This is a large print requiring approximately 270 x 270 print area. Update: A split enclosure version has been added, which can be printed in two parts and glued together. This allows it to be printed on a much smaller printer. Kudos go out to Hexibase for his work: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lU4_E83RwUw Fusion 360 Archive is available for download.
