 What I'm wondering right now is: How do I get the part balanced in terms of weight? The driver alone weighs 1.6Kg. The housing tapers towards the rear. That is, the whole thing is very nose-heavy! So I should put some weight "somewhere" in the back. But how? šŸ¤”

Any ideas?

 @c76776cc @5756e48c Depending on how much weight you need, you can use resin - you can pour it, it will level-up nicely and it is heavy. If you need more weight, you can add steel balls or old coins, etc. to the resin.

 @afe1f357 That is a good idea. Then I'll create a design in which a rear part is separated from the housing, and in which I pour resin - possibly with steel balls - into the gaps of the outer wall. šŸ¤”

 @c76776cc If you are going to redesign the bottom part, use either square or lightning infill - this will maximize the space for the resin and the balls.

Iā€™m looking forward to see what you decide and the completed speaker! šŸ˜€

 @afe1f357 Yeah, you are right. The current Gyroid infill pattern won't work out as good as Grid.

Me too! šŸ˜ƒ

 @afe1f357 Another way to get a bit more weight on the backside is to use a passive radiator there. šŸ˜ƒ

 @afe1f357 @56826c59 On the other hand... I'm in doubt that my driver will produce the amount of volume pressure needed for the radiator. šŸ¤”
