As it's raining, I thought I'd look at speaker corners. I brought some from a supplier and they are thin and weedy. So thought I'd design some of my own.

 

Also the front of the speaker is slightly different to the rear of the speaker and a different design would benefit here as the baffle is recessed.

 

The back speaker corners are more traditional

 

These are all 5mm thick and around 60mm x 60mm. Other sizes may be done if enough interest. Mmmm.... after looking at the still printing one, 60x60mm may be too big. Its chunky

 

Happy to print them out for free for a suitable donation to the North West Air Ambulance. 

 

I'll post pictures when they are on the speaker.

 

Thanks

Baffle cut and cab screwed together,( will glue and screw when happy everything fits ) 

Back panel cut , just need to wait for when the neighbours are out to check for any buzzing or rattles .

I've just looked at the plans again as something was bothering me.

 

I was wondering why the 274mm measurements on the sides and top and bottom aren't 276mm to make cutting easier. Changing that measurement to 276mm merely extends out the front pieces beyond the baffle by 2mm so it's 12mm rather than 10mm. It has no impact on the volume but it means all pieces can be cut from a strips of ply 276mm wide. I think it also saves at least one cut and possibly two. No more fiddling with a 2mm difference.There are a number of different ways to cut it out of a sheet 1440 x 660mm.My topology skills are limited so I couldn't work out all the permutations. Anything that simplifies things seems a good idea to me.

 

 

I'm sure I have this wrong but where have I misunderstood?

 

Thanks

You haven’t got it wrong Rob it’s something @stevie picked up on back when I put the pdf together from Phil’s design. 
 

@Phil Starr It’s not a problem for me to update the designs to make all cutting widths the same if you’re ok with that?

I thought there would be a clever explanation about allowing for the width of the sawcut 😁
