in what context

2017-11-29 14:29:58 UTC  

like into shapes

2017-11-29 14:30:09 UTC  

sorta how car floors nd shit are made

2017-11-29 14:30:14 UTC  

tho just aluminium

2017-11-29 14:30:26 UTC  

nah, only pressed holes in

2017-11-29 14:30:31 UTC  

ah

2017-11-29 14:30:47 UTC  

i don't have room for a Serious PRess, just kinda a POS "big ole bolts and a long handled wrench" "press"

2017-11-29 14:31:03 UTC  

im interested in it because it'd be a really cheap way to mass make some cheap ass headphone cups with some complicated designs

2017-11-29 14:31:07 UTC  

and i gave that away some years ago since it's kinda pointless

2017-11-29 14:31:27 UTC  

way cheaper and more time effective than cncing wood at least

2017-11-29 14:31:50 UTC  

i dunno, aluminum can be kind of a bitch to work with acoustically

2017-11-29 14:31:53 UTC  

wood is much nicer

2017-11-29 14:32:00 UTC  

yeah no i know

2017-11-29 14:32:05 UTC  

id have to do a fuck ton of rearwave damping

2017-11-29 14:32:14 UTC  

ive fucked with aluminum housings before

2017-11-29 14:32:14 UTC  

if anything you could try pressed wood

2017-11-29 14:32:19 UTC  

eh

2017-11-29 14:32:29 UTC  

would be prone to cracking would it not

2017-11-29 14:32:42 UTC  

just wood-fiber-slurry+glue, mold tool, press

2017-11-29 14:32:47 UTC  

it can be pretty strong

2017-11-29 14:32:58 UTC  

wouldnt look that great tho

2017-11-29 14:33:07 UTC  

it's literally what most speaker cabinets are made of, just in sheets not fancy designs like you could potentially do

2017-11-29 14:33:12 UTC  

id rather just do resin cups with shit embedded in em at that point

2017-11-29 14:33:32 UTC  

save wood for muh premium designs

2017-11-29 14:33:41 UTC  

take up whittling

2017-11-29 14:33:45 UTC  

hand carve earcups

2017-11-29 14:33:52 UTC  

god no

2017-11-29 14:34:00 UTC  

easier to just do on a lathe

2017-11-29 14:34:04 UTC  

sell audiophools $5000/pr grado cups

2017-11-29 14:34:09 UTC  

hand carved

2017-11-29 14:34:16 UTC  

im not some old ass japanese wood dweller

2017-11-29 14:34:50 UTC  

tho i probably will do grado cups at some point for luls

2017-11-29 14:34:54 UTC  

>not hand carving a relief of the nude atlantean virgin who hand-wound the oxygen free silver cables

2017-11-29 14:34:59 UTC  

old white cunts eat that shit up

2017-11-29 14:36:22 UTC  

wew

2017-11-29 14:36:28 UTC  

i do wanna do some float style headphones tho

2017-11-29 14:36:32 UTC  

i kinda love the floats

2017-11-29 14:36:36 UTC  

my planar drivers would probably do well

2017-11-29 14:36:46 UTC  

they're really cute in that sort of ugly way, yknow?

2017-11-29 14:37:02 UTC
