Rich Olson of Nothing Labs created an OpenSCAD project for Parametric 3d Printed Speaker Enclosures:
This OpenSCAD / Thingiverse Customizer script lets you:
- Generate a box of any desired volume / ratio / wall thickness
- Determine optimal sealed box size for any driver using Thiele / Small parameters (Qts, Vas and Fs)
- Include cutouts for speaker / terminal (and screw holes)
- Include a bass port of any dimensions
Click Here to use SpeakerGen online or download the OpenSCAD script.
With a wide variety of inexpensive full-range drivers – you can easily 3d print a set of speakers that sound great.
SpeakerGen provides a built-in tool that can automatically create an optimized sealed box for your driver’s parameters. Speaker drivers’ acoustic properties are described using “Thiele/Small” parameters (Qts, Fs and Vas). You can use these parameters to help determine what kind of box will work well for your speakers….
Every Thursday is #3dthursday here at Adafruit! The DIY 3D printing community has passion and dedication for making solid objects from digital models. Recently, we have noticed electronics projects integrated with 3D printed enclosures, brackets, and sculptures, so each Thursday we celebrate and highlight these bold pioneers!
Have you considered building a 3D project around an Arduino or other microcontroller? How about printing a bracket to mount your Raspberry Pi to the back of your HD monitor? And don’t forget the countless LED projects that are possible when you are modeling your projects in 3D!
The Adafruit Learning System has dozens of great tools to get you well on your way to creating incredible works of engineering, interactive art, and design with your 3D printer! We also offer the LulzBot TAZ – Open source 3D Printer and the Printrbot Simple Metal 3D Printer in our store. If you’ve made a cool project that combines 3D printing and electronics, be sure to let us know, and we’ll feature it here!
