"HexiBox" Tang Band W3-2141 Bookshelf Speaker W/HOLES

thingiverse

If you're like me, the challenge of precisely drilling holes for mechanical fastening on the speaker was a major headache. While I adore the design, it required some tweaks to prevent permanent adhesion to the cabinet. This revised model includes pre-drilled holes for mounting the speaker, and I've included a file for a TPU gasket. To achieve optimal results, I employed a 0.6mm nozzle, PLA filament with a diameter of 1.75mm, a layer height of 0.26mm, a line width of 0.90mm, an extrusion multiplier of 9, a print speed of 50-60mm per second, two perimeter passes, and a rectilinear printing style. Additionally, I opted for 17% infill density with no support material. These modifications slashed my build times by over 20 hours per piece, while also yielding stronger and visually appealing results that surpass the originals. When it comes to the cabinet, I used PETG filament, but chose TPU for the gasket. However, there's a notable exception: the TPU gasket required slightly different settings. To achieve the best possible outcome, I employed full honeycomb infill, 70% infill density, a print speed of 10-15mm per second, no retraction, and zero z-lift.
