This is a version of the Sputnik 17 speaker using thinner plywood and larger (4 inch) speakers.

What we said of the first version still stands: Dodecahedron loudspeakers radiate sound in all directions. They also look really cool. This project uses a parametric program that allows anyone to create a dodecahedron loudspeaker using any size speaker.

Instructions

This is a revision to our original Sputnik 17 speaker. In this version we used thinner plywood (the laser had issues with 6 mm so we switched to 3 mm.), and we found some better, larger speakers (4 inch). We also experimented with an alternative method of mounting the cabinet - in this version we hung the speaker from the ceiling using a large eye-bolt. Very stable, and keeps the workbench clear! Eli revised his python program that generates the geometry for the speaker. That is included on this page as well. If you want to make a custom size cabinet using different size speakers, just fill in the blanks and use the program to generate your own variant. Easy as Pi! The instructions for the first version still apply, with the exception of the refinements listed above. (http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:17672) Enjoy!
