The 3D models for the project are available to download in the first post. It's written in bold and can easily be seen (I've stopped counting the numerous PM I receive asking for the STL's).

So, just download them and have them printed by a friend or a printing service.

Just DON'T BUY THEM. Someone as open a B&O shop just near where I leave and is selling the clamps I designed and that are available here for free without any added value.

Good luck for your project.

Als je zo gedetailleerd en duidelijk uitlegt hoe je met je ontwerp een houten hoes voor de Beolab 8000 zo mooi kunt maken, zoals ik in het artikel las, word ik inderdaad heel enthousiast.

Dus dat is wat ik geworden ben, je steekt er zoveel tijd in om dit mooie resultaat te bereiken!

Ik kan beginnen met het bekleden van de Beolab 8000 met de houten hoes.

Waarvoor mijn oprechte dank,vriendelijke groeten,BenO

Hello Matador and everyone @ Matador: thank you so much for your increible work and most of all, sharing it with us and giving us all the information and guide for installation !!!!! :-) I am living also in france and contacted a 3D printer and sent them the 2 stl fils for the clamps. Surprisingly, for one the "top" stl file, the company asks me to check the size as it appears very very smal and the company sent me this message: "Could you confirm me that the size is 13,21 x 3,51 x 2 mm ? " I do believe it should be the same figures for cm, so we should print 13,21 x 3,51 x 2 cm.
  • Could you please confirm?
(don't know why they get this size).
  • Also, could you confirm the material you choose for the clamps. The 3D company offers different produts: PLA (materiau biodegradable) : Polyester (PET) : ABS (Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene) ; or ASA (ACrylonitrile Styrene Acrylate). Not knowing, I chose ASA product as it seems to be used for toys, electric setups, car parts.. Could anyone help me and confirm the choice. Again, thanks a lot for Matador and everyone. This will make our beolab so nicer ! Aymeric

Thanks all for the kind words. About the sizing: long time since I did this but the right size is somewhere around this thread. It's usual to have to scale the STL mesh from 10x to 100x.

Please read all the thread!

About plastic: I don't know enough. I think mine were printed in PLA because I've heard this term somewhere but I'm not sure, so I can't really help there.
