Panda speakers for PC

thingiverse

My daughter came to me one day and declared her love for pandas and that she would really like some panda speakers for her PC. So, I thought I might as well print some for her. I designed the shells in sketchup to fit the speaker elements from an aging Creative S250 2.1 set that was sitting around collecting dust (taking them apart involved some colourful language and a hammer). Printing these really pushed the limits of my Prusa i2 and its 190x190 buildplate. If you intend to print these you will need to scale the parts and drill holes in the rear shells for cables. Oh, and I made a slight "miscalculation" when I made the holes for the fasteners. Turns out radius and diameters are different things. Anyway, they're currently sized for M8 fasteners...so there's that. My daughter doesn't care, so neither do I. (And yes, I'm aware I've painted the "eyeshadows" the wrong way...she hasn't noticed nor commented, so it doesn't matter I hope). The speakers play surprisingly well - almost disturbingly so as I can no longer seek refuge from the constant barrage of K-pop - but don't expect audiophile quality. Glue the ears on with superglue, paint the eyes, mouth and nose, and enjoy the adoration of your daughters.
