Who can I send the OE tweeter pods out of my 2021 Ford Ranger to have them scanned then have tweeter & mid range speaker pods 3d printed ?

Thanks,
Todd

Pic?

Bout to head to the library and try making my own!

Let's see the oe unit?

You can do it yourself. Design it in "Tinkercad", print it through "Craftcloud".
I have done probably 15 things for my build this way. Kids can learn Tinkercad.
Good enough to do many of the projects you seek!

If you're feeling really adventurous, you can capture the model using free open source photogrammetry. Import the model into cad to create your own model, then send for 3D printing.

Five minutes in Tinkercad

I'll get a picture of the oe ones tomorrow.

I would rather let the pros do the work so I can alter the size to fit both the tweeter & mid range .

I wish I could have gotten this crap to work- never came out even close to usable for me

@op- can also toss them in a flatbed and make a cad/stl model to get printed/machiens out.

I have access to a pretty nice 3D scanner setup. Post some pics though, may not even require a scanner depending on the shapes.

Five minutes in Tinkercad View attachment 314591

And you’ve clearly used it before, please don’t make out anyone could do that in five minutes of opening the software, and he wants it to replicate his factory pod, so complex shapes, location pins, contours of factory metalwork

It’s far from a five minute job for a well practised 3D designer, not sure why you think it would be easy for him to open the software and design a good 3D enclosure 🙈

with regular use I use fusion 360 and even then I forget stuff that I need to use with regularity and often end up referring to the Internet or guides

 

[Muu]

Yeah I did my tweeter inserts in fusion 360 and I went through loads of iterations and hours in them. Fusion 360 is great but can be frustrating

 

[SWRocket]

Yeah, I used Fusion 360 to design my tweeter pods and it took me a week to get it right and 3 sets of messed up prototypes. The learning curve for these software packages is steep.

What we really need is a collection of already designed pods. That way people can print them and just shape as needed to mount in their own car.

 

[JohnnyOhh]

yessss! true power of diy forum. i was thinking same thing.

 

[SWRocket]

Probably will not be useful to most as they are for SEAS Prestige 27TFFNC/G H1396, but I'll dig up my file and share on Google Drive

ones designed for slightly larger tweeters would actually be great as they can be repurposed for small midrange/wide bands and tweeters alike

That is a great idea to have a repository of designs to work off of.

I don't know how to make a generic one...but in case anyone does want the SEAS ones, here is the link
