Hands down the most educational and entertaining and high quality content channel about audio I've ever came across . I've been watching for years now 👍👍
of course !
I bought this speaker 4 years ago in an effort to spur myself to get a 3D printer, and it took me 4 years to buy a 3D printer. This is in my top 3 list of things print.
So stoked to finally hear it!
would be interesting ig you did them in woodfil and metalfil filament and see how that affects the sound
Pete when it comes to car audio you've always been the mastermind of your craft. I'll be looking you up in the future to build my wife a box for her
I really enjoy your videos. My dad and I built some home audio speaker years ago. My father was a huge audiophile. We used dynaudio woofer Eton tweeters and I cant remember the mids driver. He designed the crossovers and it was a t-line design also. The speaker build was In an article of speaker builder magazine. My father has passed away now from cancer. Watching your videos reminds me of him. I would love to have a 3d printer to play with some speaker designs. I just cant afford it. I have three children and wife to take care of. Maybe one day soon. They have gotten so cheap. Keep up the good work on your videos. I really enjoy them. I wish you posted more often though.
This build was done back in the early 1990s. His whole setup was around $15000.
I love the design! the speaker itself is awesome!! Amazing how these 3"ers your using just pound out the sound!! AWESOME!!
Your content is exceptional and inspiring. Especially the 3d printing projects. Always looking forward to the next video.
Thank you Sir
By far the best & most superior
audio, visual, tech tutorial in any media. Your content, articulation,
& demos are both educational &
rewarding. You are a phenomenal
teacher. Im assuming you are not only a perfectionist, OCD ? but also
a self made man 👏 bravo & kudos
to you. Your kids must be geniuses.
Love your stuff and your review pushed me over the edge and I pulled the trigger on your reviewed printer. Thanks for sharing your craft.
What a cool project! I love your choice of filament colour :)
Your videos also have a great aesthetic to them! I always look forwards to another HexiBase Video!
I love the little driver videos, the fact that you can make them distort mics is amazing
Great content man! I've watched all your vids and love the format. My only complaint is I want more! ;)
Your genius blows my mind every time.
I'm still amazed you have such a little subscriber base. Your content is great and very accurate, you definitely deserve more subscribers.
@hexibase I now have a full 2.1 setup in my room with 3d printed enclosures that sound amazing. I have learned so much from all of your videos and I hope to design my own enclosures soon. Thank you for all the videos and knowledge you have posted on your channel. I look forward to learning more from you.
Good one Peter! Thanks for thinking of us with smaller beds (blushes)
I printed a pair of these along with the V3 Sub out of ABS and powering them with a Dayton Audio DTA-2.1BT2. Using them as a 2.1 setup for my PC replacing/augmenting my Yamaha NX-50's. These blow away the Yahmaha's by a fairly good margin. These have much better mid-response where when I switch between the Yamaha and these it's a night and day difference with these being heavily favored by my human ears. To be fair these drivers and the amplifier cost the same as the Yamaha's cost and I still had to print the boxes which take up 2+ rolls of filament and print time which for most people will be just over 2 days. I look forward to more 3D printed speaker boxes you make. I'll probably have to print them as well.
Oh my gosh!! These speakers are outstanding! I finally finished printing your 3" subwoofer to go with these and until then I was somewhat underwhelmed. Now that I have the little sub to go with it these speakers just came alive. They stressed a little playing the high highs and the low lows but now that they can shine where they are meant to they are just supurb. I'm no audiophile but I set these up in my office, put the sub against the wall and leaned back to listen. The speakers disappeared and an enourmous soundstage opened up.
Thank you. Printing the 1 1/8 speakers from your more recent video now, can't wait to try them as well.
just curious but about how much filament was used to print all that? new to 3d printing and wanted an estimate before i order my filament.
love your content man this my new favourite channel you have awesome insight into audio love it
I just enjoy how well you know your craft
I love these project maker builds! Kick ass!
Nice work with the speaker, reminds me of my first (and only) T Line.
Another solid video, very cool to see you test these.
Thank you Peter. We all love you!
If you're going to be doing a lot of gluing together of 3D printed parts you should check out J-B Weld Plastic Bonder. I find it works great on PLA and PETG.
Great speaker project!
Ok here's a challenge. How about a design with a 100mm cubed build volume constraint on the printed parts?
Talk about someone who really really knows what he is doing.👏🏽💯
Dude you are freakin awesome I really enjoy the content of your channel. Your work is really inspiring Thank you !!!
Just finished building these today thank you !
The Tangband w3-2141 are awesome. I built myself a pair of "cyburgs needle" transmission line speakers with them a while back and i love them. For how little they cost me to build they outperform a lot of way more expensive speakers. 3D printing enclosures for these drivers is a genius idea, i might try doing that for center and surround speakers for my home cinema. Now to find a 3d printer...
Did you build the enclosures from wood? I just purchased 4 of them for ceiling mounted surround speakers. The center channel will be a M-T-M with Silver Flute woofers and Morel tweeter. A rectangle box is far too gauche, so my plan is to make a cylinder from MDF by kerf cutting and bending. So far that hasn't worked; the mdf either won't bend or breaks, depending how deep I cut. I have not exhausted all the ideas yet, including switching to plywood. But now a buddy on Facebook is posting his 3D print projects, one of which is a speaker box.
This is a interesting channel. I am always impressed with your ability to confuse me lol 😉 I would like to find out more about printers but I am a total beginner.
Good job Pete!
Very nice sounding set of bookshelve speakers. And I will be looking into the 3d printer soon . I have a few ideas . But sir as usual your videos are awesome and very helpful and informative. Keep them up my brother. Oh , I wish I could get access to your past videos . I liked watching , pre audio dynamics.
The moment I realized who was behind the test track haha, 😎 awesome man. Gravel Rain is pretty unique.
What I really would like to see is an Activ sub for use with home cinema, preferably an 8" element and intergrated amplifyer.
You need to start your own speaker company, guru
@@HexiBase Do you mean the Drivers or Subwoofer Enclosures? I cant imagine designing a driver :o
@@HexiBase you seem to know your speaker audio stuff... A good channel to learn from.
@@HexiBase Audio dynamics is Australian??
@@james8660 Does the sound wave spin the opposite direction down under?
@@icanfartloud yes we are 180 deg phase shift
Obviously you know your craft. I'm impressed....
Very nice Job and Amazing Video coverage 👍🏻
I'm sold, now i just need a 3D printer..
@@HexiBase Do you know how much the pro will be going for tomorrow?
It is 199 after $10 coupon, price already went up?
it would be vastly cheaper, and produce far better results, to just use wood.
@@HexiBase replicate it visually, or meet/exceed it in terms of audio quality? because its a speaker im going to assume the latter, which is what matters. you could build a better box with a few sheets of sand paper, a bottle of wood glue, a 30$ sheet of plywood, and a hand saw. an electric saw/sander can be obtained from harbor frieght for next to nothing if youre lazy and need power tools.
replicate the exact design though? why would anyone want to? either your mics are terrible, your choice of music is terrible, or the speakers are terrible, because what you played back sounds like absolute trash. ive heard 4"x8"x4" boxes that sounded better than that, that just had a simple generic port tube.
to be clear, when i say "comparibly insane amount of space" i mean you have to be working with an internal box size of ~4CuFt for tiny drivers like these. where you could pop a 5-1/4 or even 8 inch with a basic tweeter in a cube, and itll sound as good or better.
As always...Outstanding.
We need more! Love your videos
Big thx for your work Really nice ✌️
Greats from Germany 🎉
I had a pair of these on hand and was trying to figure what to do about an enclosure.. then i found this video! Your designs and the content on this channel is amazing. I've been following since you released the mini subwoofer. I have printed the parts in wood PLA but I am waiting on the driver.
Ill pay shipping to receive and review lol. Awesome video of the tons of informational videos ty
Man i am still trying to figure out how to print the last box and waiting for a speaker for the first one and now here is another one to print...... My wife is going to leave me if ya keep on.. LOL o-well carry on Sir carry on... Nice work again....
these plus the mini sub would be awesome!
Still waiting for the w3-1876s to be in stock since your last video lol
Made sure to snag some of these this time!
I love your content man!
this is art dude
Amazing! Thank you.
6:10 Thats my sub enclosure design for my 2013 tundra regular cab!
One more amazing product !!!!
@@HexiBase You are welcome !!! I see you still using my advice on the Tongue and Groove from where you were asking for advice on how to joint your old project so it does not leak !!! Great and simple, hope it serves you well in the future and have a great new 2020 welcoming :) !!!
Great vid. Im curious if making the side panels with some honeycomb layers would reduce resonances at higher dynamic peaks. Really cool build!!
That was sooooooooooo goooooooooood.!!!!!
your music is beautiful. thank you for the links.
Awesome vids!
Gread video !
I feel like parametric modeling would be amazing for 3d printed speakers.
Because you could have the user put in the speaker info. And maximum size in two dimensions... And then have it calculate everything else automatically based on a set of parameters.
Great Build!! It would be a good time to elaborate on transfer function and it’s implications to your designs please. For those of us who want to know more.
Could you please do a sound demo with these speakers as well as the Tang Band 3inch subwoofer? I for one would be super interested to see if between the 2 could produce a truly full sound at the cost of minimal space.
Always look forward to your vids but CZcams has at earliest notifies me 10 hours later
Mini dsp ears is a much better recording. Good video and build!
That's sound good.
Your music has a hint of Tipper... I like it.
@@HexiBase I completely agree, and I also agree that your music has similar elements to Tipper's music. Please keep making it, there isn't enough good music like this!
@@HexiBase yeah, he's the master of the Tip Hop. We have had the opportunity to have him play a couple times at my stage at The Living Room Stage at Shambhala Music Festival. Cool guy, very picky about the sound. His agent was super intense, made us flatten FOH eqs right before he played. Had us scrambling a bit... lol, still was awesome... super clean and we still had headroom.
Love your channel... long time audio nerd myself so I feel we are kindred spirits.
compact and high quality
Without a doubt the best audio videos on CZcams. I've watched every single video and eagerly await more!
On that note, you inspired me to create my own Speaker cabinets with a 3D printer and I'd like to get your input or an honest review? Would love to know what I did wrong/right.
Happy to provide STLs or f3d (messy, I'm new to fusion and made this in a weekend) I'll be making the STLs available on Thingyverse if they don't suck.
I’m having a go at making something similar with cnc’d mdf and a pair of Dayton audio nd65. Fingers crossed that they sound half decent.
Can you recommend a freeware I can use to validate a vented box I want to make for a 8" HT bedroom subwoofer ?
Thanks.
AWESOME VID BRO!!!
I'm strongly thinking about ordering one of these mainly FOR making aeroports. How big of a diameter Port do you think I can make?
THANKS!!!
No batting, yet no mid-range/ treble leaks through the port? What kind of wizardry is this? lol! They sound very good. I attempted a pair of speakers a long time ago just using full range drivers and was blown away. They did have issues with spikes in the midrange and treble regions but for my first "speakers" they weren't bad.
The project came out so well! Love the enlightening content sir. Would a rough interior coating, or small amount of poly further smooth out the midbass?
It’s great that you measure and show the response of your new design, thanks for that. About the design, do you try to account for the walls flexing, they seem a little thin to be considered a rigid walled cavity (although I didn’t see how thick they are) and they’re undamped.
The z lead screw is unsupported on purpose. If you where to confine it at the top any sort of bend would cause your carriage to develop z wobble. Your prints would have horizontal banding on the sides. If you look where the lead screw is connected to your carriage it should have some slop in it in the x/y direction this also helps prevent z banding.
Awesome 👍
filament arrives Sunday, printer Monday. i may do this and the 3 inch sub build, if it will fit in this form factor :)
Another awesome project! You truly are a genius in this field. I would really love to see you make something that we could use to improve the sound quality of our echo dots and other like devices. Any ideas? Thanks for all of the knowledge you share with all of us!
@@HexiBase Yes. That is exactly what I was thinking. That would be awesome!
Your videos are awsomer...makes me feel unintelligent but they r cool
AWESOME!!!!!!!
Had hoped you would have added to the 3" woofer project. Add a tweeter and crossovers. Really loved the deep bass the 3" was generating.
@@HexiBase Excellent! Can not wait!
Id love to see what you could come up with for a modular 3d printable tv soundbar!
6:10 Does that mean you're still doing vehicle enclosure designs? It's been my dream to get one from you and was crushed when I heard you stopped. I promise it will only be in the vehicle you design it for and won't put it online! Much love regardless, so glad you're back on CZcams.
Someone might be getting a call from the Bose legal department lol nice project looks great 👌
I really would like to see a video on how to go about designing an 8th order, you seem to be the most qualified CZcamsr in the speaker design field, and in coalition with your fantastic production quality, I think it would be a great video.
HexiBase ❤️
@@HexiBase Is this still going to happen? Cheers
I find when speakers placed on a hard reflective surface like a desk that it seriously affects the sound in a blurring manner. But a good build for sure.
These are amazing projects and I'm glad you are sharing them with the community. Would this be a decent bedroom speaker for a mini head amp for a guitar set up? I'm using a JOYO ZOMBIE Amplifier Mini Tube Head 20 Watt with Audio-Technica ATH-M50x for the time being as of right now. Seems like a fun project to try out! Otherwise I'd love to see a 3d printed cabinet dedicated for a guitar.
Sir you century genius
Awesome work, next time please use something more common and bit more powerful. This driver is very hard to get (especially in eu). Thanks for great work!
it would be nice to see something like this for a 4'' speaker, i'm plining to use the dayton audio TCP115-4 with a matching tweeter
Hello and good afternoon I have to say you are one of the most intuitive audio gurus I have ever listened to your videos are awesome and very knowledgeable quick question I have a set of 12 in Jensen field coil woofers which enclosure design would work the best to squeeze the most out of these high efficiency antique drivers for Mid Bass I am thinking along the line of a flared T line
Really interesting channel and some impressive designs. How come you didnt use any damping material in the closure?
You should give tang band a heads up on your projects.
I just feel bad for those empty shelves.
You need ora graphene' s 3 inch driver. Contact them for development kit . It'll blow you away.
This one looks good and is highly rated ANYCUBIC Chiron. Can build a nice sized enclosure, but I wouldn't use PLA personally, because it degrades in sunlight and is not a good material for automotive environments. I'm looking to 3D print an enclosure for my coveted Precision Power PRO 8 liquid cooled sub-woofers. But want to use Nylon as the material, this one I don't think will use Nylon filament, but that may change in a later revision.
Thanks, now I have to buy 3D printer, Amazing you can get this for under 200.00.
Best content to end 2019! One question: can I just increase the model by let's say 150% in the slicer to house a larger driver and expect similarly good results?
@@HexiBase Thank you for the thorough answer! Cheers for 2020!
The speaker seem to sound very "hollow" or maybe it's the room you recorded in?
Hi HexiBase,
Thank you for the design. But what do you recon is the best way to fit a 4" driver into this? Should I widen the hole or scale the whole thing up?
I'd love to see a 3d printed speaker enclosure that is bigger than what the 3D printer is capable of printing. I know it's something like what you're doing here, but I'm talking about more than just two prints, like maybe 4-8 prints just to complete a single side of the enclosure.
@@HexiBase that's awesome, I'd almost challenge you to do it with the smallest 3d printer you have, but that would probably be torture.
I just found your channel a few days ago, I was hooked right away. You deliver the information in a very informative yet engaging way. I'm in the process of making my own portable bluetooth speaker and I want to apply one of your "snake/wave" patterns. Could I make a "box" applying your pattern with four drivers and a sub?
I don't have a 3D printer but, I will be getting a CNC machine in June which is what I will be using to create this. What amp do you use on your desk? (when you connect your test speakers to for the videos)
Thank you in advance. I greatly appreciate your time and knowladge. Stay safe and have a great day!
As usual, I'm watching your video through my Infinity IL40s. These sound great for their size. Well done.
Do you do any EQ adjustments on your videos?
Nice work.
You should add your speakers to the "customer photo gallery" on parts express by writing a review.
With the links to your content of course 😎
@@HexiBase Oh, and you should really switch back to gyriod infill.
It prints significantly faster, is easier on the whole machine with less jerking and overall stronger.
Just stick to high perimeter counts since that is where you get the most structually gains anyway.
It may also be in your interst to play with the "nozzel size" to get tighter perimeters but this is something that needs to be experimenteted with to get "a feeling" how it behaves.
You can trick the slicer to slice some mazing things this way ;-D
@@HexiBase Uhhhh Simplify3D is a heavy weight with a myriads of advanced options especially in terms of job planning 👍
But don't get to set on one single slicer try other options like cura or prusa's slicer from time to time since each has its own niche and specialities and very active devlopment.
And why is the god damn spellchecking not working get a grip chrome 🙄
