3D Printer as Speaker Building Material

[Nikon1975]

Dear All,

I built one pair of speakers using a 3D printer and I am in the process to make a second one. I was curious if any of you has tried this.
The 3D printing allow to realize fancy and complicated shapes and it come as a monolithic structure, so in principle it is very rigid. The printer I use makes an honeycomb structure inside the bulky objects in order to save on raw material.

Attached some pictures.

I build my 3D printer just some days ago, so no speaker tryouts at the moment.
But what i already found:
Akemake spirula speaker by filamentone
Shell Speaker by alexmordue - Thingiverse
Spherical speaker with integrated wall mount by alexmordue - Thingiverse
Spherical Speaker Enclosure (Ported) - Dayton PS95-8 by B_Rich - Thingiverse

Can you provide your parameters for the print of your enclosures?
It seems to me that you used planet10 uFonken and Fonken?

I have been very interested in using 3D printers for speakers and have some ideas to try… no 3D printer yet. Neither Chris or Bernie like building the smaller trapezoidal miniOnkens (like Davide’s 2nd picture & smaller) because they are too small to easily clamp.

We have been doing this for a few years now in the Multiway Forum. Very complex 3 way synergy horns, waveguides, etc. here are some examples. The recent one by Bwaslo is perhaps the most ambitious with the entire synergy speaker being 3D printed.

I haven't done cabinets, but I've done some unity/synergy horns that mount all the drivers
