As proof of the concept, I decided to make a clone of the LXmini speaker.
The results are excellent both audible and measurable.
The drivers I used are Mivoc swm 68 and TC9FD18-08 which in my opinion is a far better driver than Seas FU10RB (H1600-04).
I ordered the Seas L16RN-SL (H1480) waiting to arrive to make the final version.
If someone is an expert in designing parts for a 3D printer, they might be able to contribute to the design by designing the upper part that comes on the tube.
Off axis measurements are 0-22-45.
The microphone I use is Umik-1. It has a horrible feature to bring down the response over 18khz so I don't know the real situation above.
Crossover is terrible minidsp 2x4.

Similar 3D parts are already on thingiverse.

For my LXMini I purchased a Beocreate unit Beocreate | HiFiBerry with a Raspberry Pi but the power for the FR unit was too little. I am now working with the Zoudio unit zoudio actually 2 pieces in TWS as I plan a LXMini+. Running at soundlevels of 80dB I am getting THD around 0.2-0.3% above 200 Hz from the speaker that is. I plan a post in the Zoudio thread ZOUDIO AIO4CH: 4-channel amplifier with DSP and Bluetooth later.

This is the original design. The base has a small hole drilled in the centre and the smaller of the tubes is open at the rear but loosely packed with acoustic 'cotton wool'. Nelson Pass has designed a crossover for it and kits are available in the store.
