Hi Peter, wellcome to the forum. Your snail spreaker looks very interesting (different). As you have made a substancial wire frame, would it be possible to skin it as in your model aircraft days and then get a fibreglass mould on that? Anyway, good luck. G

If you can amke a mould that is split into a front half/back half shinobiwan might be able do it on his machine. You can see a video of his loudspeaker work in the thread here:

Thanks for that.Iwas going to make a plug out of expanded foam hoping somebody could cnc in two halves I think will be difficult by habnd

Thanks Peter

i believe this is the sort of effort you are trying to achieve. and i think splitting it in 2 halves is the only way to do it.

this picture shows a mould that they are applying fibreglass to a imagine, where as if you only wanted 2 pieces you could get someone to cut this straight from a cnc provided that person had a big enough travel in height.

Works for me - I suspect the gremlins are at your residence.

Thanks Wilfy . I have tried to make it look like tuba . With a single driver installed . Do you think it could be cnc laser cut . As said cnc is rather beyond me we only had log tables in my day
thanks Peter

[GEOFFREY]

Peter, I don't think laser would suit this job. Lasers are good for engraving and profile cutting. I also doubt if most people would be able to cnc router cut it due to its height. One way to do it would be to build it up in sections, cutting the Whole shape (like rings) in layers glued together, sanded to lose the steps and then cut in half - tedious, but do-able. G.

Hello Geoffrey It is being skinned now .It is taking a long time it is not wire but ply wood. The dimensions are 1200 mm high the front 404 mm,the width is 902 mm so it is fairly large other wise I have to set too to make another
Thanks Peter
