Neat.. i think I have access to one of these..... $$ ?

Neet, now you just need to have it do printed circuit boards.

Looks like a template ?

Re: 3d Printed Tritrix crossover

what do you mean template?

i guess my description should have said tritrix xover holder.

Re: 3d Printed Tritrix crossover

I meant no disrespect. ......One in the same.......i have built 2 sets of LCR TriTrix ..sure wished this was around then....still may see if they can do this at work if you don't mind......

what material did use ?

It's more of a jig, but still really cool. If your open to suggestions, you could improve on it by adding feet/spacer/riser (whatever you want to call it) with a way to mount it, and small holes to fish the connectors to the bottom for a cleaner look.

If the speaker is pushed long and hard will the resistor melt the plastic?

Re: 3d Printed Tritrix crossover

Looks like PLA plastic has a melting point of 176F. If ABS was used, even higher.

Re: 3d Printed Tritrix crossover

The ABS material i use melts around 230°C (446°F) you would need to run probably 10 amps continuous through that resistor for it to melt but you would most likely smell it before it became an issue.

I always use ABS for structural parts, it is stronger and has better plasticity than PLA imo. The hard part is soldering this, you have to elevate all the wires off the plastic to solder it so you dont melt the plastic, then you have to strip all the wires strategically so the wires align back into the grooves when you push them down. i also used Devcon 5 min epoxy to hold the components down, and the wires. i am not a fan of hot glue because it can get soft in the summer time, unless you find the high temp sticks.

I wanted to make this nice with a plexiglass top, but then realized the kit only came with four speaker terminal post so i had to mount them inside the box anyways. So i just did this quickly, but the files are on the thingiverse site if anyone wants to remake it, or i can send you the solidworks part files if you pm me.

Went this route as well. Built them out of ABS.http://http://techtalk.parts-express...ix-first-build

Re: 3d Printed Tritrix crossover

Sorry about that.

Re: 3d Printed Tritrix crossover

Nice, I was going to do that at first, but figured if i was gonna weight for the print i might as well add some routing and post for the choke to sit on.
