Maker Speaker Enclosure by biocode

Last crawled date: 4 years, 2 months ago
I made these speakers for a radio/mp3 player in my workshop (i.e. basement), so they have sort of a maker theme.
I'm afraid they were designed around parts I already had so you may want to alter the design. The cad files are available from Onshape.
The speakers are incredibly cheap from Arrow, less than $10 shipped for a pair. For the price, the speakers sound amazingly good! The spec sheet for the speaker is included for your reference if you want to substitute a different speaker.
We have printers so why make a boring enclosure. This design has no parallel surfaces to cause standing waves, if you worry about that sort of thing. The back is dished out to avoid a flat surface but mainly to increase rigidity. The enclosure body is 19cm in diameter by 10cm deep and it probably will take you over 24 hours to print. A pair of speakers will need almost a full spool of filament to print. It is probably deeper than it needs to be at 10cm. I've included a 7cm deep stl version. This will probably work as well if you want to save on space, filament, or printing time; but it is untested.
I've included an optional base for the speakers. They will sit on the base or you can glue them.
The 4mm screws hold the back on by simply threading into the plastic. I used relatively long bolts to ensure they would hold well.
Print the enclosure with support.
For each speaker you will need:
4 x 1/4-20 hex bolts
5 x 4mm 20mm or longer screws (reccommend adding flat washers)
2 x Binding Post Terminals (the kind with flats on the screw mount) I found some listed on ebay.
CSS-1021028N speaker or similar.
wire
optional, polyester fill
