First, I would like to pay tribute to Laurence Dickie, the primary designer of the Nautilus speaker. This is something I’ve been researching since 2019, and I’ve always wanted to make a miniature version of the Nautilus speaker to sit on my desk. However, because the first printer I used did not produce satisfactory results, the design was put on hold. Now, with the Bambu printer, I’ve optimized and printed it. All materials are made of PETG Eco. In the video, besides painting the place where the speaker connects to the base black and removing supports, no sanding was done. The actual speaker should be sanded to look better.
The speaker size is designed based on the travel of the P1S printer. The first version of the blueprint is best suited for 3-4 inch speakers with an outer diameter of 117mm or less. In terms of appearance alone, the most similar to the original should be the 4-inch ceramic aluminum basin from Guan Yin, but based on the volume requirements, a 3-inch speaker is more suitable. Therefore, I ultimately chose a 3-inch speaker, the renowned elegant 3-inch white basin speaker that ranks among the best in terms of low-frequency performance. The actual appearance is also quite good, and the sound quality exceeds expectations. The tweeter uses a B&W small titanium diaphragm that was disassembled from a high-end Philips TV (both small tweeters in the document can be used).
Here is a simple production and audition video, 1p vertical production video. 2p horizontal simple audition, recorded with a mobile phone, connected to a 3D printed small amplifier made in 2021. The printed parts have only been removed from the support and not sanded, nor sealed, nor connected to a crossover. The tweeter is only connected in series with a 4.7uf capacitor, and the woofer is directly connected.

Spectacular design, congratulations on the execution! I hope the sound is equally impressive, although I'm having trouble sourcing the speakers. If it works well, I'll move on to painting. Thanks to the Maker

Im thinking of using Dayton Audio 3.5 inch speakers. They have a bolt diameter of 87mm so should fit, even if the designed holes doesnt match. (outside dimensions 98mm so physically fits too) Example: 295-349--dayton-audio-ps95-8-spec-sheet.pdf EDIT: Read on a forum that since the Aura NS3 is discountinued, the Dayton ND-90-8 is a direct replacement, so that might help you with sourcing...

note: I MODIFIED THE BASE ( not shown in photo ) ( removed the slotted port , this reduced filament and print time ⏲️ to 50% , plus can be printed laid down now . i dont need the port as i just like it as a display object ) i also scaled to 70% to fit on a1 mini ... i can provide the profile if you'd like it .

Hi, I'm planning to build a floorstanding speaker version of this. The plan is for an 8-inch woofer, a 4-inch midrange, and a Dayton Audio tweeter. I tried scaling the STL file. That worked, but the walls are now way too thick, so I'd need 40 kg of filament. Does anyone know a way to make the walls thinner?

Amazing model. And it’s going to be an amazing project too. Just have to plan the speaker drivers I’ll use and either build or buy a matching crossover circuit for the drivers! I may print a second one and set this up as stereo speakers! can’t wait to see how great they sound.

Thank you for your support, this combination, leveraging the elegant white pot speaker's characteristics, is already quite exceptional for a 3-inch speaker system

Hello, I really love this design, but my machine is a Bambu A1 mini and can't print such a large size, could you please modify the configuration?
