Absolutely, I would definitely be up for that! Once my uni course finishes for the year I should be able to get on that and construct a pair that I think will survive more than a few listens as most of the prototype pairs I have on hand at the moment are a bit fragile (simply put together to be...

Hi, Sorry for not posting in forever. I've been rather busy what with starting university in October last year. Exciting news though, as a while ago I partnered with an existing small brand which I have been developing a custom driver for and hope to release a full headphone at some point soon...

Nice, what sort of resistance are you getting using 8 micron? I use a solid ink printer.

Quick update on my planar driver. I have found a method which allows me to make my own material out of any film and aluminium foil I choose within reason and etch it successfully. This has allowed me to make diaphragms using mylar as thin as 1 micron. I am now using a 3 micron material similar...

Update on the ribbon driver. I have been slowly perfecting my design/construction, it's pretty neat now but I have a few improvements to make yet. I will give an impression of them when I'm not as busy. I now use a "cartridge" system to allow easy replacement/repair of the ribbon if it were to...

Hey, Here is an update, finished up a pair of the drivers using all the new parts a few days ago: Taken some measurements, here is how they are currently looking. Frequency response: Distortion: Overall I think they're not bad, would like to reduce the distortion hump around 600hz but I...

They're a kind of bolt with a very thin head, in this case 1mm.

Final part arrived, rubber gaskets for going between the diaphragm and the baffle to help absorb vibrations and dampen the driver. The only thing I'm waiting on to be able to assemble these are some wafer head bolts I ordered a while back that I thought would have arrived by now.

I had them made in china, here is the listing I used: https://a.aliexpress.com/_B1uOSz Very nicely milled, was a bit pricey but definitely worth it for the rigidity and looks :) Wasn't much different in price to having them made of aluminium except I didn't need them to be powder coated and I...

The carbon fibre plates/baffles have arrived, only one more part type to arrive and I can assemble the full driver!

I should be able to have a donor pair ready by the end of this weekend :)

The first part of many has arrived! Feels every bit as stiff as the carbon fibre when doing a bend test, with the added bonus that I don't have to make direct contact with the diaphragm anymore, they are also gold coated to prevent corrosion that would be caused if they were copper or nickel...

Something you all might be interested in, just took several measurements of the pair I made using the carbon fibre plates, here is both drivers (L+R) overlayed: I'm very happy with this indeed :)

Yeah, you're probably right, was quoted £1.45 per spacer/PCB board (including shipping) if I ordered 50pcs total. Going to get a quote for some pure fr4 cut for the other spacer as I need that one to be thicker.

I thought about this, I just meant that long term I would rather use a material that isn't conductive by nature as I wouldn't want to risk not having fully coated it. I also wanted to experiment with making one of the spacers a PCB with via holes as this would allow me to make contact without...
