why are speaker stands so insanely expensive?
for a piece of foam or aluminium
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
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
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
