@matador Wouldn't it be better looking if you also design/print (with black PLA/PETG/ABS) the top panel instead of using piece of black cardboard cut to shape?

Would it be possible to add this to the design?
What thickness (in mm) would give us the best/flush look?

You might have a problem to 3D print a nice and smooth surface, for sure you need to grind and paint it afterwards. I also used the black paper as a quick fix :-)

I personally wouldn't go for a flush top panel, since the design really adds some nice details if the wood covers are 2mm up, but still lower than the chrome head.

The 4mm clamps are designed for 4mm thick wood bits.

The 5mm clamps are designed for 5mm thick wood bits easier to find in nothern countries it seems.

@matador

I was comparing them and it appears the "curve" is smaller and flatter on the 4mm vs the 5mm?

Does this mean visually it will look like a bigger and more curved?

The 5mm model was developed by another member from my design, to fit local wood supply so I can't really say. Nevertheless, there is indeed a strong link between curve, depth, wide, number of lamellas and their thickness, so it make sense the curve is more important.

And yes it will result in a less thinner speaker. To what extend ? I dont know.
