of course !

would be interesting ig you did them in woodfil and metalfil filament and see how that affects the sound

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!

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 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.

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.

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!

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.

I love the little driver videos, the fact that you can make them distort mics is amazing

Good one Peter! Thanks for thinking of us with smaller beds (blushes)

@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.

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.

I'm sold, now i just need a 3D printer..

@@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.

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.

Thank you Peter. We all love you!

What I really would like to see is an Activ sub for use with home cinema, preferably an 8" element and intergrated amplifyer.

Nice work with the speaker, reminds me of my first (and only) T Line.

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.

Another solid video, very cool to see you test these.

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.

I love these project maker builds! Kick ass!

love your content man this my new favourite channel you have awesome insight into audio love it

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.

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.

Good job Pete!

The moment I realized who was behind the test track haha, 😎 awesome man. Gravel Rain is pretty unique.

Dude you are freakin awesome I really enjoy the content of your channel. Your work is really inspiring Thank you !!!

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.

Talk about someone who really really knows what he is doing.👏🏽💯

We need more! Love your videos

filament arrives Sunday, printer Monday. i may do this and the 3 inch sub build, if it will fit in this form factor :)

Still waiting for the w3-1876s to be in stock since your last video lol Made sure to snag some of these this time!

Great vid. Im curious if making the side panels with some honeycomb layers would reduce resonances at higher dynamic peaks. Really cool build!!

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.

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.

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.

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

Very nice Job and Amazing Video coverage 👍🏻

Obviously you know your craft. I'm impressed....

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.

6:10 Thats my sub enclosure design for my 2013 tundra regular cab!

Ill pay shipping to receive and review lol. Awesome video of the tons of informational videos ty

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.

As always...Outstanding.

these plus the mini sub would be awesome!

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?

Big thx for your work Really nice ✌️ Greats from Germany 🎉

your music is beautiful. thank you for the links.

Amazing! Thank you.

Another great video from hexibase! I need some help making an enclosure out of mdf for a 12" subwoofer. I have absolutely no specs on the driver and no name/model to search up. How can i go about this? Can i measure the specs of it with just a smartphone mic? And how can i find the approx watt rms it can handle? Loons to be somewhere around 200w rms

I love your content man!

The speaker seem to sound very "hollow" or maybe it's the room you recorded in?

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

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?

this is art dude

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....

Id love to see what you could come up with for a modular 3d printable tv soundbar!

Mini dsp ears is a much better recording. Good video and build!

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?

compact and high quality

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.

with a port that long, does it not have a series of resonances? if so, and hypothetically, does that change if your port/guide is an exponential horn? is a passive radiator better than a long port if expense & complexity are not factors? why is bass reflex always a sudden transition from box to port? is there any use for a gradual transition, or is that what a transmission line speaker is?

What do you do with the prints that dont work out? How do you recycle them? Is there a way to make them back into a filament you could reuse?

I've been thinking of using this driver with a down-firing W3-1876S, how would you change their enclosure styles? would you tune them to a different philosophy since they don't both have to attempt full-range/balanced anymore?

I have a question: is there a downside to using the silicone sealant (the one in tubes) to glue enclosure parts together?

Have you done a passive "amplifier" for a cell phone? Bass output would be helped by your expertise...

I would love to build this. Could you recommend a small 50W amp I could install in one of them?

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.

One more amazing product !!!!

What are the enclosure specs, love this design but don’t have a 3D printer, would like to build a wood replica. Thanks

Could you please redesign these around the more common Prusa-Sized 250*210*210 printbed that oh so many printers have copied? Even if just editing your source files to make them 4-part-print with the grooves?

Hey peter I'm really interested in enclosure/speaker design where do you think is a good place where I can start learning.

can i use alternative options (of the same brand) for these speakers? Because they will be in plain sight at my place and don't like the driver very much. I do understand that all the parameter are based on this driver. Other than that everything you make is great content and very informative! Although as a Dutchman I do have some trouble understanding all the technical terms

Have you tried freezing the printed object and base plate to use the differential expansion to liberate the printed object rather than risk scratching the base plate?

That's sound good.

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 KZread.

Big thumbs up from a total audio noob! I was just wondering. If I were to add some material on the outside, is the sound going to be different or is it just the inside that matters? If I for example would like to make the speaker look like a ball but keeping the insides as your model shows?

That was sooooooooooo goooooooooood.!!!!!

how many rolls of filament did you use for the whole project

What are the speaker stands you have for your main desktop? I have similar speakers that I want more directed at my face

Question, what would be the best model to build for recording, Since I Dj and I also like to build things, I would like to build my own monitor speakers. What would you recommend?

Is the transient response in 6th, and 8th order bandpass enclosures bad enough to be very noticable? Looking for a high efficiency box design to cover from roughly 30 - 80 hz, and can't decide between a bandpass or folded horn design. Great build in the vid, these tang band drivers look great.

This is very fascinating! I would like to invest in a 3d printer and make some enclosures like this and for the 3" Tang Band sub. Will the LK4 handle the size and resolution of the enclosure for the 3"? I'm ready to take the plunge and pick up either the LK4, the GEEETECH, or the Prusa i3 printer, but I only want to invest what is needed since I'm a noob. Do you have any thoughts on the ANYCUBIC Chiron?

Can this be scaled up linearly or proportionally for a slightly larger driver? Say.... 5.25” diameter? I’m thinking not quite... the sound properties will be way different...

The PE website claims that this driver can reach down to 84 hz with a .087 cubic foot bass reflex enclosure. What impact did this enclosure have on the bass response?

Quick question...is there any reason why you aren’t applying sound deadner to your printed boxes? I’ve been printing enclosures for a while and imho, the box resonance is always sonically visible without deadner...not perfect but big improvement

I print on glass i got from Lowe's. when the print bed cools down it comes off the print bed all by itself.

I'm not a huge fan of the exposed drivers. How bad is it if I add a printed grill on the front?

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?

Really interesting channel and some impressive designs. How come you didnt use any damping material in the closure?

Question- what gauge wire are you using inside the cabinet, and are you using a lead free solder? If so, do you have one you suggest?
