Hi All!
I figured I'd make a quick post to introduce myself and the project I am currently working on. I'm a second year PhD student studying computer science / intelligent systems at GaTech. I spend most of my time working with low energy embedded systems and rapid prototyping based device fabrication. In the past I've spent a lot of time working on some robotics type projects and even a garage based nuclear fusion reactor. You could definitely say I am addicted to building things!
In my ever rare free time, I'm attempting to build an outrageous system of speakers (currently a 2-way configuration) which feature front loaded horns. My current iteration of this project is detailed in the attached pictures (please pardon the messy garage!). I have constructed two cabinets for 12" drivers and two conical horns which are held together with 3D printed throat adapters.
I hope to soon rebuild the entire system because I hate the paint on the 12" woofer cabinets and I want to go with some larger, tractrix flavor horns (a story for another thread perhaps).
I was initially brought to the forum by some google searches on 3D printing horns. There seem to be quite a few folks here who are really in to utilizing 3D printing for their own speaker construction projects, so I figured I'd join and get to know yall!
-Cheers!
