3D Printed Rear Door Speaker Spacer with handle (1 Viewer)

[cnorm5623]

So if you have a lifted cruiser and little kids you know the struggle of them trying to climb in the back. I also wanted to upgrade the speakers in the rear doors. I have a 3D printer and knew this could be solved. Since my design skills are still in the tinkercad levels I had a buddy at work design this 20mm speaker spacer with integrated handle. I had two sets of holes in the spacer. One set to mount the spacer to the door and another set to mount speaker to the spacer. I used riv nuts in the door to make sure it was nice and secure for the kids. I used PETG filament and 40% infill and it is plenty strong for the kiddos. Printer is an Ender 3

here is the STL for anyone that is going to ask: Speaker Spacer W/ Handle

What hardware are you using to attach to the door? Looks pretty small. Would be worried if it pulled out.

I used 4mm aluminum riv nut and stainless screws. I give everything the good dad pull test to make sure its secure before the kids get to use it

Cool idea

This is awesome! It effectively kills two birds with one stone. Now I just need to get access to a 3D printer....

 

[jpoole]

Going to offer these for sale? I'd be interested in trying out a pair. My 4 year old goes for it but would really benefit from a hand-hold!

I’m going to print one off for giggles. My printer isn’t currently doing anything.

 

[western flyer]

That is cool. I could have used those 5 years ago...

Great now were gonna see a zink plated billet aluminum speaker spacer with handle out there If ya got the printer sitting around might as well put it to use!

This is genius! I'm going to have to find a maker space or something to have a couple printed. My daughters would benefit from these while trying to climb in.

 

[thatcabledude]

Maybe have it clocked to the 10 or 11 position

 

[Outsane]

Thats super cool!
I can print these for members, maybe give
@cnorm5623 some money for the design.

 

[Teebo]

I'd be interested in a set!

Agreed, up for sending $ / address to someone willing to print and to cnorm for the design.

 

[blahblahblah]

I'm in. I've got a 3 and 5 year old AND a set of rear door speakers sitting in the garage.

 

[cnorm5623]

My printer is idle right now too. Just need to order some filament. maybe offer 2 colors. orange and black. I am out of town next week but I could get printing some after that. PM me and we could see what happens.

 

[jjohnny]

Wow great idea, thanks for sharing. I would be interested in a set as well.

 

[voodu3]

Awesome idea. I did this for the same reason but my kids are a little taller.

@elripster Maybe a good one to throw on the printer?
