Hey!
Here is a little project that came to life because I wanted stands for my S45-2 speakers.
First… As the original stands are hard to come by and often cost more than the speakers itself. I ordered an aftermarket version from eBay. Looked like the original but sadly enough it was a complete butchery. Base wasn’t even straight on the floor, so called backbone was held with one bolt with no fixed angle and was all wobbly as hell. Luckily had an option to send it back.
Next logical step – let’s make one…
As of no experience with any CAD software I started off with Blender 3D. I wanted to simplify the making of it – meaning no welding needed and to use material that’s easily available, easy to cut and for the looks as well – aluminium. Still using the style and measures of the original not to the point but close. So it came out as a 3 piece design, bottom slate, backbone (full aluminium), and T-bar. Assembled with just 4 bolts.
Once happy with the 3D I made technical drawings with all the needed measures. In lack of proper workshop I handed it over to a friend who made it come to life.
Unfortunate thing was the anodising. Something went massively wrong there. Instead of getting that nice brushed metal look it looks like cheap gray paint over it. I think I’ll redo the surface some day.
Anyway happy to have the stands for my S45-2s finally 🙂I’ll add a collage picture of the project with 3D and real life photos.
