DECAH v4 HIGHFIDELITY SPEAKER SYSTEM

thingiverse

Due to its incredible strength and versatility, PETG would be ideal for sound applications. I set the bed to 80c, and the hotend at 210c, with the help of Hairspray at the beginning. *YOU MUST SCALE THESE DESIGNS BY 2540% BECAUSE I HAD TO DESIGN IN INCHES* The largest print is less than 5 inches in diameter, and 5 inches tall, so it can fit on almost all print beds. The final speaker will be 5x5x7 inches! This design has been carefully crafted to meet the exact volume requirements set out by individual speakers. The frequency range of these speakers goes from an extreme bass of 80hz, all the way up to 40khz, making it a High Fidelity Speaker. If you love sound and would like to learn more about how it works, this set is for you. It takes up minimal space on a desk or a bookshelf, and requires 16 hours of printing for the large piece, and 3 for the smaller one. The total filament used would be 250g, costing only $8. A little bit of felt, around 1ft by 1ft, was stuffed behind the large speaker to reduce back sound waves. This increases sound quality substantially, and is necessary. I used free design software, Blender, to design this speaker set. To build a crossover system, I used another free software; XSim. Attempt building your own crossover system to tune the speaker to what you want to hear. I originally made this to be as neutral-responsive as possible, giving it strong bass, clear mids, and dazzling highs! It is a true pleasure to listen to, and puts any other speaker under $500 to shame! PARTS REQUIRED for a single speaker, double everything if you want two speakers. https://www.parts-express.com/dayton-audio-amt-mini-8-air-motion-transformer-tweeter-8-ohm--275-095 $39.99 US $53.42 CAD https://www.parts-express.com/audtek-electronics-skrl-16-50-16-awg-ofc-speaker-wire-50-ft--100-016 $26.99 US $36.05 CAD *ONE ROLL IS ENOUGH FOR TWO SPEAKERS* https://www.parts-express.com/dayton-audio-nd65-8-2-1-2-aluminum-cone-full-range-neo-driver-8-ohm--290-206 $26.99 US $36.05 CAD https://www.parts-express.com/pyle-pfa300-90w-class-t-hi-fi-stereo-amplifier-with-ac-adapter-included--310-2656 $31.00 US $41.41 CAD *ONLY NEED ONE AMPLIFIER FOR ONE OR TWO SPEAKERS* https://www.parts-express.com/two-conductor-speaker-wire-spring-terminal--260-300 $0.78 US $1.04 CAD *GET TWO OF THESE FOR EACH SPEAKER* https://solen.ca/products/capacitors/dayton-metallized-polypropylene-capacitors/dmpc-7-5/ $3.14 US $4.20 CAD https://solen.ca/products/inductors/standard-inductors-20awg-0-80mm/s20-10/ $1.70 US $2.27 CAD https://solen.ca/products/inductors/standard-inductors-20awg-0-80mm/s20-30/ $2.73 US $3.65 CAD https://solen.ca/products/resistors/wirewound-resistors/wwsqp10j20r/ $0.24 US $0.32 CAD https://solen.ca/products/resistors/wirewound-resistors/wwsqp10j39r/ $0.24 US $0.32 CAD https://solen.ca/products/resistors/wirewound-resistors/wwsqp10j5r1-copy/ $0.24 US $0.32 CAD The total price for a single DECAH speaker would come to $93.35 US, or $124.69 CAD, not including the charge of shipping.
