Audiophile Sound Diffusors

thingiverse

A diffusor is an acoustic device used to alter the sound waves in a room, reducing echoes and improving audio properties by scattering the waves in various directions. Cost-wise, purchasing six 0.6x0.6mm diffusors can set you back at around €370; however, 3D printing them with an octagonal structure costs approximately the same per square meter in terms of material expenses. The time investment for printing a single square meter is also quite substantial at 16 days on average. Various diffusor designs are available for 3D printing, such as rectangular and hexagonal layouts, each with its unique benefits and challenges during the printing process. For a quicker print, consider using a Manhattan 1D diffusor with a finger structure, although it only diffuses sound in one direction.
