3D Printing: The trials and tribulations of melting plastic into stuff.

Another joint test. 0.8mm nozzle/0.6mm layers. Should have slowed the print down even more due to the small features. I think this might be a winner for the brace connection between enclosure sections.

Snap joint test. Some things are coming together. Calibration box is there for support. I've been at the drawing board, or rather slowly learning Fusion360 this spring and hoping to have some files ready for release later this summer. #3dprintedspeakerenclosures #cfpla @proto_pasta

A view that has been missing from my feed for the past few months. Currently printing some parts for new upgrades on the #mendelmax3

[g30ff4y]

Made some stuff this year and I'm hoping that I can release these files to share soon in 2017. I'm working on some tweaks to make things more accessible for more printers and adjusting crossovers for a more enjoyable listening experience. Thanks again to @gcreate3d and @proto_pasta for helping make these things possible!

#flashbackfriday - I started #3dprinting three years ago and became very excited about learning about an emerging technology. It's a tangent that has proven to be one of the most insightful and rewarding things things I've worked with due the near unlimited potential for creating anything; in addition to a learning platform that levels traditional academic pillars. What tangents have you explored recently? (at University of Montana)

After being on the road for most of July, I'm back in Missoula wrapping things up. Just finished reassembling the big guys in the grad lab. Putting together another listening session to hear the 3D-printed MFA Line Array speakers this week. Any song requests? (at University of Montana)

[g30ff4y]

The top section from the MFA Line Arrays. While these speakers were not winners this afternoon, they were certainly contenders. Many positive comments from folks sitting in various locations in the room. Watch for some improvements to the design and some files getting released later this year! (at Parts Express)

Good morning from the #midwestaudiofest meet my final project from my MFA, the MFA-3DP-SL3 (Master of Fine Arts - 3D Printed - Sphere Line-array three-way) Materials: @proto_pasta #cfpla @colorfabb_official #bronzfill @hatchbox3d #pla #3dprinters : @gcreate3d #gmax1.5xt and #makerstoolworks #mendelmax3 (at Parts Express)

[g30ff4y]

Paint dry. Crossovers mounted. Big prints from @gcreate3d and the #mendelmax3 ready for drivers and a drive. See you at the #midwestaudiofest

[g30ff4y]

Just finished some late night, last minute polishing of @colorfabb_official #bronzefill Painting also occurred on some other prints to match the @proto_pasta #cfpla Getting ready to go to the #midwestaudiofest

[g30ff4y]

Current state of affairs. #speakerassembly (at University of Montana)

[g30ff4y]

Assembly in full swing at the @um_media_arts Grad Lab. Showing scale with two sections from midrange line with a single section from one of the three low frequency drivers. On the left: #hivi #b3n in a @proto_pasta #cfpla and @colorfabb_official #bronzefill enclosure. On the right: #daytonaudio 8" in a #hatchbox enclosure printed on the @gcreate3d #gmax1.5xt+ (at University of Montana)

[g30ff4y]

Big prints arrived this morning from @gcreate3d !!! I will be assembling these this afternoon and will hopefully have a test up later tonight. #3dprinted #speakerenclosures #bigprints #gmax (at University of Montana)
