round Speaker iPhone5s

thingiverse

After multiple attempts on freeCAD that didn't quite go as planned, I've finally found a simple and effective way to design a passive speaker that not only sounds great but also looks fantastic. The round Speaker is a clever combination of basic shapes, created using the typical parts forms found in freeCAD: spheres, cones, and cubes. Despite not being an engineer, I can confidently say this design delivers on its promise. If you want to immerse yourself in your music in a personal and intimate way, give this a try. No fuss required – just plug it in, play some tunes, and enjoy the ride. The sound is impressively directional, but be aware that some high notes might get muffled by the PLA material used in construction. I'd estimate this little gem would require around 10m of 3mm filament to create, using 4 vertical layers at a moderate 25% infill setting with a .25 mm layer height. On my trusty Velleman K8200 printer, it takes about 5:40 hours to bring this baby to life. To top it all off, keep in mind that this beauty will only play nicely with the iPhone 5 and 5s, so leave those 5C and iPhone 4 family models at home – maybe, just maybe, an iPod 5 generation user out there can try their luck. The design itself needs a bit of fiddling before it's ready to print. Simply rotate your drawing by -90 degrees on the X-axis, and instruct repetierHost to lay it flat on the printer bed. This way, the speaker will come out looking and sounding great, no issues whatsoever! If you want to try things your own way, be my guest – just remember to get that base laying flat on your printer bed, okay?
