I have a question regarding the dimensions in the STL file. When I opened the files the size looks a bit off.

@matador, can you confirm if multiplying the scale factor for x100 will get the right dimensions?

Hello tuttivini,

found this some time ago:

Regards

@adyan thank you for the link! I've never seen this website before. 450,- euros is a little expensive, but they look excellent!... Still hoping I can find the STL files somewhere online so I can print them myself (and chrome them with spray or in a car-bodyshop)

I confirm, I would have like an hello" and a "thank you" though. But I'm old fashioned. (Not the drink… Ok the drink too, but not what I meant, even if… Well, you see, right ?)

@matador, thanks for your detailed answer and your verrrrrrrrrrry appreciated offer to design a STL file. I would love to use it (even if it's only for test purpose or for a non working aesthetical model...)
I don't know if you are going to draw it from scratch or use beolab 8000 and beolab 3 files which are already available online. It's not my expertise, but I found 8000's and 3's in 3d renderings on https://3dmdb.com/en/3d-models/beolab/

I understand your opinion about the correct working of an ALT tweeter. I don't expect it will sound the same as my dads Beolab 3's (without precise calculating/testing the shape of the ALT in combination with the original 8000 tweeter...), but I do want to try it, if possible.
It is easily being build back to stock...
The removal of the beolab 8000 top plate is easy.
I can do it on mine and give you the desired dimensions?
I totally understand that you don't want to disassemble your 8000's for 'my needs'.

Good thinking about the Audi Car installation. I always love the Audi A6 Bang&Olufsen automatic raising ALT tweeters in the dashboard ;)

Thx for sharing this with us.

I was looking to replace the fabric but now I have another option! :-) :-)

 

Hi, Thanks for making and sharing this, I am currently printing the required parts.

in message #7586. you mentioned "As suggested by a member I’ll upload the file to thingiverse or similar platform for public access. I’ll also try to contact Christian Leicht who as a portal with printable B&O parts."

Is that https://leicht.io/projects/3d-models ?


thanks again !

Login to view imagei have one speaker done and it looks wonderful.

I used a bit bigger bars these are 18mm long, and I had to cut them to size right there in the store. did try to trim them a bit but they ended with a bit of a difference. it's okay for a diy project and it doesn't look bad

I think I might had to print the files a little bit bigger, cause either my printer is out of spec or the wood is. I had some problems getting everything to fit.

I ended up using some wood glue and sanding a lot. at least that made it a nice solid part now.

will probably also at some wood oil to darken it a bit, cause this is a bit to much construction wood color (also need to finish the wall behind it)

Thanks!!!!
