Nice!

I'm very jealous that you have been up close and personal with the Nautilus, I have only been able to listen to them a few times. Perhaps when I finish University I will have a crack at a larger scale replica of the Nautilus and I will definitely seek your advice!

Each one is already in 3 pieces, deffinitely possible but that would be a lot of assembly!

Thank you!

Thanks!!

These drivers are fairly good quality I think and I plan to make an active sub to go with them at some point, maybe with a similar design!

Thanks!

Thanks!

Done! they aren't very different but should help with printing and assembly!

"Ok" describes the sound perfectly haha, they don't sound amazing but that was never the plan. Sound quality can be improved upon and requires more time with such a complex shape!

True, I like to work on a form first and then figure out how to make it sound great. It's hard the other way around because one usually ends up with a box as volumes are easier to work with that way!

Ah good point, the speakers are 4" diameter which may help you give an idea of scale!

I like the aesthetic of set back drivers so this is what I went for. And yeh it doesn't matter if tweeters go on top or not. These speakers will be mounted at head height so there is no issue there.

This is a very good point and did not even think about it! Have disconnected one of the tweeters now but it hasn't made that much difference as the quality of the drivers in general is pretty poor! These speakers were build for Volume and they hold the sound together fairly well at high volumes.

Yeh this is true, I completely winged it to be honest

Each driver is 4ohms and I wanted 8ohm speakers

I winged it haha

With difficulty haha

Like a true engineer, I winged it with a few sums and I got lucky because they sound pretty good!

Thanks! I'll give it a try, think I used osmo on my kitchen work tops?!

Thanks for this, my next build is going to be a lot more audio file focused, gonna do some proper research and spend a bit of money on them!

I'm gonna bare this in mind for my next build!!

I'm not entirely sure but they aren't an exact metric size so I assume they fit imperial sized hoses!

They are in series parallel with some resistors thrown in to make the total resistance of each channel be 4 ohms.

Yeh that was my original plan but I quite like the idea of making a copper stand :) thanks for the vote!! I just missed that speakers contest :(

oh wow I just tested it, you are right the front of the led does get pretty hot. I might re print the focus cone in abs or pet! Thanks ks for pointing this out! Yeh that's the brilliant thing about 3d printing, relatively cheap when you take the cost of the printer out of the equation. I do lots of prototyping so it pays for itself in not having to send files off to get machined! Yeh if you get like 10 hours into a print and you get a nozzle jam or something it's really annoying!

sorry, but I don't have any for this build.... so....

Haha if the fan stopped working then yes it would! the heatisink doesn't get above 40 degrees celsius even with intense use so it should be fine! It really doesnt cost much... I buy my PLA at £10 per KG which is about 14$ so one print is about 30 cents or about £0.15!

Sorry, I have no idea what is going on here... It still works perfectly on my duino nano... maybe post it on the arduino forums and see if anyone can help you figure out the problem! Software is not my strong side!

Im planning on doing a new build so I will include better circuit diagrams in that!

it's best to have one esc per motor. I'm afraid I don't.. but I am going to have another crack at the longboard in the near future so maybe then...
