¯\_(ツ)_/¯

so a big plus 1 to bluedio for there t4s headphones, they connected when i went up 2 stories still

through like 2 layers of garbage

@fireglow note 4x audio sucks. aliases hard and has really high noise floor

125W

wow

how loud do you need them?

because you may be better off picking up something locally

could pick up that classic behringer amp

the a500

@fireglow what is the sensitivity?

google it and find out

default rec for a chink speaker amp is a lepai/lepy 2020A+

help i bought more XE800's

i think im insane

@HEKTIK oh boy

why more

wanna try modding into gr07x

and i want friend to do thd measures on a proper 711 coupler

Does anyone know how to get the top off of KZ ES3's?

it's busted anyway so I thought i'd see if I can fix it but have a hard time prying it open

..

Just in, threw my ES3 at the table in frustration and now it works fine

Chink kwality™

lol

i opened my es3's with a scalpel

why are speaker stands so insanely expensive?

for a piece of foam or aluminium

@Kaytee @HEKTIK

studiofags pay for shit without caring too much

just buy some foam blocks and cut em ourself

yeah I'm going to have to, this is insane

though having them angled on the vertical axis isnt really a great idea

better to have them raised dead flat at ear level

depends on the speaker, but it can make a difference

since most are tuned that way

I think that's what these are going for

adjustable height

@Deleted User because when you're buying a $5000 mixer board and a $1000/ea pair of monitors to plug into your $10,000 computer in your room covered with $3000 of acoustic foam the brain tricks you into choosing convenience of getting them all the same place over saving a measley $40 on this or that

oh and can't forget your $500 mics, plural

and the cables to go with em

Just print them out nigga

hmm I might have access to a 3D printer at a local school

that could be cool

kinda like how dell gets away with charging $225 for a pcie riser when you're buying a $50,000 r930

never printed anything before

printing something that big is not easy or cheap

you're gonna have to design it in multiple parts and then glue/solventweld them together

or just have access to a BIG printer but that is not cheap

also: designing a part to 3d print and actually using a slicer properly is a learned skill, not worth doing if you just want to have thing tbh

just stack some books or s/t

🤔 I do have a lot of books lying around

that's an idea

hi i love you all

as i guess apparently the resident 3d printing/cnc nerd: tried printing speaker stands, went horrible, legit had an easier time printing headphone parts

I had an idea

yeah I can imagine

@Kaytee

You could just design some wedges

I might do It on AutoCAD later if I have some spare time

you'd need a large bed to make big enough single wedges

and that means you either get a lot of "ringing" artefacts on the print from the frame wobbling, or you print suuuper slow

also it can legit take longer to print large things than it'd take for it to ship if you just buy one, this is one of those things

my raspberry pi rackmount blade chassis thing took something on the order of two weeks actual print time

that's including failed prints, ofc

which are kinda just part of the game

point is 3d printed speaker stand: not the best plan

just stack books or set em on a box

i still wanna attatch a 3d printer head onto my cnc router eventually

i'd suggest just buying/building a printer

already building a cnc router

you don't have a tall enough z axis on a router to get much use with fdm

i could make it as tall as i want

and if you try to _make_ it tall enough you'll run into rigidity issues while cutting

im gonna have to build a bunch more anyway

making it taller will cost a terribly lot more since the entire frame is gonna have to be much thicker and more rigid, and the price does not scale nice and linearly

im gonn have to build one specifically to deal with cutting metals a ton

otherwise the movement and pressure on the tool head is gonna cuse the whole z axis to wobble around as you cut

even then, a router with a tall z is gonna have to be extremely rigid

you aren't talking aluminum extrusion or even steel angle anymore, you're talking thick steel plate, welded not bolted together

thats not particularly hard tbh

it isn't but do you really wanna spend all that instead of yknow

$200 on parts for a 3d printer on the side

true

3d printer would only be for prototyping anyway

since those can be fairly light and flimsy since there's not much force on the effector

you ever pressed aluminium?

in what context

like into shapes

sorta how car floors nd shit are made

tho just aluminium

nah, only pressed holes in
