Putin sound system

thingiverse

Hi there, This is our Putin speaker system. I couldn't have pulled this off without the expertise of my good friend Bakhtiyor Primkulov, who's based in Tashkent, Uzbekistan. Despite being thousands of miles apart, we managed to collaborate on this project through Facebook. I stumbled upon this idea after 3D printing the Vladimir Putin bust and the Putinator models from Thingiverse. The Putin model is a Vladimir Putin bust - no tie by BOBNOJIO, while the Putinator is The Putinator, Battle Damaged by THISNAMEIS22CHARACTERS. When I saw the digital image of Petro Wodkin's Vladimir Putin on Google Images, I thought to myself: why not create something similar using those two models? Instead of shelling out $1500 each for high-end speakers, I decided to give it a try as a hobbyist project. My design isn't a direct copycat of the original artwork, which is showcased at Sound-of-Power.com. My setup uses two four-inch split speakers, one for the right channel and the other for the left. The models used were the Putinator, Battle Damaged and Vladimir Putin bust - no tie. To assemble this project, I mirrored the Putinator and trimmed it to fit my 3D printer's size limits. Although the design is meant for a five-inch speaker, I opted for four inches instead. Feel free to resize it to suit your speaker setup needs. Here are the masses in kilograms for each part: Putin head (460 grams), Putinator (660 grams), box base (260 grams x 2), neck (170 grams x 2), and shirt (460 grams x 2). According to my machine, this totals 2.9 kilos with support included. You can check out some YouTube videos showcasing the speaker system in action, including one featuring an Apple Watch: qB7VM0MN8gw, zp1rqL51bdA, FkxzEKDyPPs, and vmjoTF0PGAs. If you have a model that you think has potential for this project, please let me know! I'd love to collaborate with more people.
