Hello,
I've just completed my first DIY speaker "9-cells Pipe Array" speakers made by 3D printed PLA.
When well designed, 3D printed enclosures are as tough and inert as the best loudspeakers, as already highlighted by other members...
It's all about engineering the shape/thickness with a little bit of ingenuity.
Perhaps I'll work on a new version (with more drivers?) to rise a little bit the bar
.
Very satisfied with the preliminary results so far.

The abs printers that are common, won’t have much strength. That can be improved by lightly brushing mek to help fuse the layers on the surfaces.
What would be better is to use the technology to gain the nice geometry, then use it to create molds. Then use a fiberglass, hydrocal, or other molded process.
