Hii there . I am using a 3D printer called tevo tarantula for which I paid around $250. I bought it around 3 years back from AliExpress. But now you can get better pre assembled 3D printers like the ender 3 pro etc for the same price from AliExpress. $35 is the price including the printing materials. The printing material (In this case PLA) is very cheap in general . In india it costs ₹1000/kg ( $13/kg) . And for this speaker you'll just need around 200-250 grams of material. And if you are really a person interested in designing and building on your own projects, getting a 3D printer will really change your life like it did for me . It's really helpful for almost every single project .But I would recommend you to learn an 3D designing software like Fusion 360 or solid works before getti…

I spent around ₹2900, that's about 35$. If was pretty cheap

Sorry for the mistake , I'll correct the link . I didn't face any problems with the bluetooth resetting . There was a slight disruption in the sound at full volume. It was happening when the bass hits due to insufficient power . Adding bigger capacitors really reduced this problem

Thankyou:)

This is just a downloaded design from the site "how to mechatronics" . Don't post others work as your own !!!

If you are talking about the bore of the pulley I am using , I am using a pulley with 5mm bore . The shaft if the motor I am using is 5mm so ot was a perfect fit .

Instead of directly running the code which I have uploaded , copy the contents of the code I uploaded, paste it in a new sketch in Arduino ide and try compiling it . Make sure the servo library already exists in your Arduino libraries. Make sure the board selected is Arduino nano . The code for the penmodule is very simple . Incase nothing works you can make the code your self, it's that simple . Just make a code to turn a sevo connected to the pin D3 to a certain angle when the pin D10 is high and return the servo to its initial position when pin D10 is low

If you are talking about just uploading GRBL code, you can also do using the traditional USB cable.Here is a videos which clearly explains how to code an Arduino via Bluetooth https://youtu.be/doxaobqMr7g

*haven't

I noticed that you have added a video nor a pic of your completed project. All I could see is the video someone else posted in YouTube and your project cover photo is a screenshot from that video as well . Is this a work on progress?

yup , it can definitely fill an apartment or a room

Yum , yum , looks amazing and easy to make , Love your Detailed explanation with random facts . keep it up :-)My vote for you

yup, he posted it almost 2 months after I posted this instructable, now you know from where he got the idea from

You can depending on which department you're in

Yes you can , :)

Another Bluetooth contest?

Thankyou :)

Thankyou soo much :) .

Thanks Bro , I am using a customised TEVO Tarantula 3D printer

Thanks for the tip, I was actually planning to coat the curved surface of the wheel with a thin layer of rubber-based adhesive so that when it dries it gives grip. This also makes sure that the diameter of the wheel doesn't change much.

Thankyou :)

Thankyou :)

Thankyou :) :) glad you liked it

Thankyou so much:)

Ohh, I didn't know that. Thankyou for this important information .I guess I'll use scissors next time :)

Thankyou :)

Thankyou soo much :)

Thankyou for asking and sorry about the problem you are facing . It seems like the SharpIR Library isn't functioning properly in your IDE.Can you pleas reinstall this library and try again , do let me know the result so that I can try helping you further.

Great to hear that:)

Thankyou so much .and thankyou for the vote . I will be posting an instructable on the laser engraver as soon as possible .In short, it's a completely custom designed and 3d printed laser engraver with a work area of 160x190 mm . It has a magnetic modular laser which can be easily detached and replaced with other tool modules like a pen or marker if you want to draw a design on paper . The connection between the laser engraver and computer is made wireless using Bluetooth . The most interesting thing about my engraver is that it can run on a 5 volts 2 amp power supply (ie. a phone charger ) even when the laser is at full power .

I just swapped one of the tweeters with a piezoelectric tweeter . The other one is the same as in the supply list . I have mentioned why I did this in the introduction and also among one of the comments .The different tweeter I used is just a low cost automobile tweeter which is awailable almost in any automobile accessories shop . So you won't have any trouble finding those Thankyou:)

Thankyou :-)

Thankyou so much :-)

Not sure about the current drawn .But I am getting 4 to 6 hours of play time depending upon the type of music and volume.

The boost converter works on switching principle. So the output actually switches really rapidly , so a capacitor is added to supply energy during this "off" period . They have already provided a small SMD capacitor on the boost module , but is is always a good practice to add an external one with heavy loads The crossover seperates the amplifier output into high and low frequency channels . Which means it has 1 input and 2 outputs . One of the outputs (high frequency) goes to the tweeters and the other (low frequency) goes to the woofers . You could damage the tweeters if the output from the amplifier is directly connected to the tweeters without a crossover or a filter capacitor in between .

Thanks I am from India , so I guess the parts would get really expensive once the shipping charges are added if I order stuff through parts expressAnd yup , first I used 2 magnetic tweeters , but I was not satisfied.So before finally closing everything up ,I just swapped one of the magnetic tweeter with a piezoelectric one . And There was a huge difference . Usually magnetic tweeters are the best , but I don't know what happened in this case , I guess the ones I had was not of good quality.

Thankyou:-)

What about an audio contest or a Bluetooth challenge?

Thankyou :)

Thanks :-)Try buying the components from Aliexpress , It's really cheap there

Only 13 dollars (₹845) .I didn't spend anything for the box . The total cost of all the components is 13 dollars

Thanks :)

Sorry , but that won't work .You can step up the voltage of the battery from 3.7 volt to 12 volt , but the current drawn from the battery is going to be soo High that it could overload and could even damage the batteries .

http://s.aliexpress.com/3m6bABri?fromSns=WhatsAppI used the 3.5 mm audio female Jack from the link above .This jack is connected parallely to the output wires from the audio decoder board which goes into the amplifier inputs . This female Jack is designed in such a way that it cuts off the connection between the audio decoder and amplifier and creates a new connection between the aux cable and amplifier when ever an auxiliary cable is plugged into the female Jack

I don't have much experience with plexy glass cylinder , but once I made a speaker using pringles can with 3" drivers on both sides , but I faced a problem !, As the can was too thin , it resonated with the speakers reducing the overall sound quality of the system. So I would prefer a thick plexy glass tube which will stay rigid and not resonate with the speakers, I am not sure but i think it's thickness should be more than 6 mm

Great job!! , just wondering ,how does it perform when compared to the real Bose sound link mini?

You are welcome :)

This is the design i made before the built,

What you said was exactly my plan , the passive radiator on the back was intended just for the woofers but once I started the built and tested the circuit I figured out that I needed one more battery in parallel to give sufficient current and it took up a lot of space inside.It was impossible to line up all the components inside to add a partition because of limited space and wide batteries

Hi there, can you tell me more about the power supply you used?, It's voltage and currentIf it's smps or transformer based?

Bro , that's neat , great work :)
