Building A Bluetooth Speaker with a SURPRISING trick!

3D Print your own moduler Bluetooth Speaker with cool disco lighting and modular speaker design. This video is sponsored by PCBway. 👇 More info below 👇
At its core is the main speaker - everything is contained in the main box including the Lithium Ion batteries, recharging circuit, bluetooth receiver and amp. You'll also find both a standard USB and USB C port to re-charge your other devices.
This is where it gets cool though: Assemble the second 'slave' speaker for a louder system and it’s connected as simply as sitting it on-top. Magnets hold it in place and the Pogo pins form the electrical connection!

I love the non-trademark-infringing Italian servicemen! 😂 This is another fun project - well engineered, and great that you have a kit available for beginners.

[@DIYMachines]

💦 🔧😆. Thanks for the kind words.

[@ThePazuzu]

I just discovered this channel and it's baffling how this awesome guy has just 100k subscribers. Subbed!

Magnífico Proyecto Compañero.....Le doy las gracias por su gran labor divulgativa en la comunidad.......Le mando un fuerte abrazo desde Las islas Canarias (España).......

[@some-random-guy-l4r]

I like your projects, Im currently on building the big clock.

[@DIYMachines]

Thank you. the clock project is one of my favourites! :)

[@halbesleben2]

I think a minimal regress in the yellow body would help with the construction of the cube. So the Question mark always hits the right spot. Never the less as always great Video. Amazing Explanation

[@AlixFlemmer]

The levels of detail and craftsmanship with your projects are unreal 🥳

[@DIYMachines]

Thank you. 😊

[@dhall185]

Great project! Really enjoy your video production along with really clear instructions.

[@DIYMachines]

Awesome, thank you!

[@DennisDavisEdu]

100K Subs by Christmas!

[@DIYMachines]

Fingers crossed! That would be just amazing.

[@stevencao3871]

Can I replace the 18650 Lithium Ion Batteries with rechargeable AA Batteries?

[@traegan1109]

I'm from America and have a question. Are there any extra steps involved in getting the power converter prepared? I know that the US and UK have different power standards so I was curious.

[@jnonoa]

Hi there, I would like to purchase your diy kit. But how can I customise it to use a 10" speaker?

[@Asemkamal]

this is super cool

[@DIYMachines]

Thank you

[@stevencao3871]

When I charge the speaker, the voltmeter doesn't turn on. Help!

[@justinmontello3950]

Is there anyway to connect the disco light power supply in the same way as the slave speaker, so the USB cord is not needed?

[@kelvino5305]

As a Electronics Nerd this is amazing tho as the perspective from an audiophile that case makes no sense to me its not closed or ported, its closed with a hole in the back wich really destroys the potential from the speakers atleast make it closed!

[@Fernando-xd4uo]

Could you share the guides where you learnt how to design PCBs with F360? Thanks!

[@DIYMachines]

Ohh yes, adding it right now. Well spotted!

[@cutekidstories]

This is a really cool project! Thanks for sharing

[@DIYMachines]

You're very welcome. Thanks for watching!

[@frburghi]

Great project and great video! Is it possible to use the speaker while charging or is not recommeded?

[@DIYMachines]

Yes you absolutely can. :)

[@Godflakes]

thank you for a new channel to binge on since i can’t afford to recreate any of these amazing things ❤️

[@Szabbyhun]

Hope nintendo wont sue you, because its pretty cool, and looks clean.

[@chlero_eyes]

So inspiring, now I have to try to figure out how to connect it to my TV

[@bezelelb3774]

Please make a video on how to make a Robo vacuum cleaner

[@frankmthompson]

I love this project, but don't currently have a 3d printer. i wish you offered the option of buying the cubes. My son loves Mario and I would love to do this with him.

[@tdsangel]

or you invest 250 euro into a printer (there a tons of printers available) and print it with your son as a project together? how old is he?

[@frankmthompson]

​@@tdsangel He is 9, but to the point, getting and setting up a cheaper printer is a project in and of itself. If I had the time/money I would just get a bambulabs P1P as it seems pretty straight forward.
