Snapmaker J1s Review & Feature Build

[@TomReinYT]

This channel is very underrated. As an audio engineer, I appreciate these videos. A 5 watt draw while playing music is crazy!

[@benwhittle7204]

I think I've said this before but worth mentioning again, you're both so freaking adorable together, and taking an interest in each other's work, such a keeper.

[@HexiBabe]

He really is a keeper ☺️

[@Delzra]

You're the only channel i've subscribed to that i actively change over to headphones for the audio (Beyerdynamic DT770 Pro 32Ohm). Impressive build as always! You never disappoint.

[@theslats]

hah, same and similar cans. 250 OHM and moded with a balanced input.

[@iamski]

Same, but I play it on my HTPC and $10,000 home theater system. It's siiiiiiiiiick.

[@SlowGainsClub]

Your channel is hands down my favorite ❤️

[@R4N6ER]

Your production quality is outstanding, been loving your stuff since the old forum days man. Keep up the great shit 👏

[@jakub9916]

Do you have any plans for a portable Bluetooth speaker, something like a jbl boombox? It would be great to see something like that.

[@dtibor5903]

JBLs do very heavy DSP, it is very hard to reproduce that sound without multiband EQ, compressor and limiter

[@bsyishay]

Cool Build, seems like the ultimate setup for a PC, Small, strong and badass sound

[@One_Guy]

Would love to see you build a custom fit box for a car in a tucked corner with some very weird angles and such using those 3d scanning tools and then using that to print the perfect fit enclosure for any vehicle :D . Love your Bandpass boxes! Had you plan and a local place build one. Hands down the best sounding sub i've ever had. Many thanks for all the hard work and effort you go through. these 3d printed builds are amazing!

[@travisjacobson682]

I second this. I would love to see this isobaric design incorporated into the center console or glove box of a vehicle to supplement midbass response. Or something with opposed drivers to reduce vibration.

[@ChandlerWoodruff]

I always look forward to your videos. So far I have been able to resist the urge to build and buy everything you feature but one day I will crumble. I just come back to watch informative videos and learn. Keep doing what you are doing. I love the content.

[@avnut5517]

I could only dream of these builds 40 years ago. Very cool. I appreciate how you show all attempts and issues you encountered while printing. Thank you.

[@subdynoman]

Always busting in at just the right time...ive been at the point where i need more motor force in smaller spaces, going to test the limits, so isobaric loading multiple subs may be my next go to choice. Fantastic vid! Always an inspiration, ill be listening in my rx8 🔊🙉

[@tommymohlen8919]

Always a great day when you drop a video!

[@jakestanbro959]

Always one of my favorite channels to catch up on!!

[@midlifecrisisathlete]

Man, I can feel that bass through my headphones 😅

[@yoctoflop]

I've had an idea for a while to build the loudest sub possible that you could mount to your back or fit in a backpack. This might reignite that project...

[@Mixer_Driving_Nurse]

Sounds awesome to be such a small setup. Watched using my Raycon every day ear buds set to the balanced sound mode and it seemed as if I was in the room and there was a large well balanced sound system playing.

[@_Turbocat777]

Love your vids. I have been getting tired of the clutter of my 5.1 system and have been looking at going back to just a 2 channel setup. (separately, I also have an FLsun Q5 that I have not touched in a few years and need to get up the effort to clear out a clog and do some maintenance on.)

[@hypnotech83]

This was fun to watch Thanks Pete! 👍

[@JustinGrosz]

Very impressive build.

[@psuu1]

Thanks for the great content! I'm listening on a pair of Bose Companion 20 desktop speakers that I picked from the trash, with an ever so slightly mismatched also trash picked power supply. I just have to use a LOT of imagination to experience your demo sections! :)

[@xaytana]

I almost want to see the same drivers, same passive radiator, and same sixth-order series-tuned bandpass box order, but with the drivers wired in series in an ideal enclosure size with the same power limitations. Just for a comparison that uses a physical build to display tradeoffs with driver loading configurations within the same setup parameters.

[@ИгорьЛушников-с9и]

Отличная работа.У вас прекрасная помощница.Успехов.

[@smiththers2]

ive had the designer series 8" dvc woofer for years and they are my main driver for my home theater. given how good they work for me, i can imagine that 6.5 passive sounded pretty good still. eventually id like to do a TL enclosure with a pair of the 8's and see what they can really do....

[@crazylarryjr]

Just curious, have you tried this box in your car? Some cars get a boost, in the range this box is designed for. Would be an interesting listen

[@dpscloud3324]

It pulling that little power yet it being that loud and 'thumpy' is impressive! Im curious how you would design some TV speakers/speaker system for your next project! Just something different and casual. Like trying to see how much you can pack into a sound bar design or multi channel setup with a bunch of small speakers.

[@reganmorben9248]

Thanks Pete!

[@CarterWilson-w6f]

Great channel, great build, and good bass output for a little thing, (I have a diy built 15” sub using the Dayton classic dcs385-4 subwoofer and the Dayton SPA300-D amp in a 20.5”x18”x22” ported enclosure, it’s also integrated into a 5.1 config with some small fully 3D printed 2 way surround speakers)

[@joshbooth9772]

This is the last place I thought I would see a Murder By Death scene. Love that movie!

[@KayoMichiels]

Auto bed leveling is something that any 3D printer should come with.. c'mon it's 2024! It's not 2012 anymore...

[@andrewfromphysics2921]

Brother, Sophie needs to be in every feature build. Would definitely enjoy a subjective review of the build from her like a wine taste tester.

[@triffid0hunter]

Listening on Edifier R1800BT bookshelf speakers, which have a wicked bass reflex overdrive that I can barely tame with EQ settings but are otherwise wonderful computer speakers

[@trancextend]

I love your taste of music. 😊 Is that your production? If it is make more! I want to buy it.

[@righteousbuilds3576]

Pretty impressive for such small drivers and low power usage.

[@MumrikDK]

Those are some really dire first impressions of that printer. 900 bucks for all those problems.

[@benistingray6097]

Right? Cant even get a consisten first layer down, just get a Bambulab and be done with the fiddling around with settings and failed prints.

[@McTroyd]

Getting that kind of excursion out of five watts on a passive radiator...! 😳 "...I will read when you least expect it..." 😆👍

[@JasonWW2000]

Looking pretty slim there, Pete. 👍

[@Patrick-xq3ln]

Ps5, minidsp flex 8, multiple entry horns, 2x tham12, 2x nearfield bp6 17hz. Love the unique design. Comforting to see someone more exprienced have trouble 3d printing too and its not just me. I would like to see either metamaterial absorbers or a tapped pipe quart wave resonator. Great work.

[@joelturbobyrnes]

this channel makes want to get a 3d printer and try making some of the interior parts for my half a million kilometre R31 skyline resto mod

[@oldman1944]

Also, you can prototype metal parts in plastic, then have them metal 3d printed by PCBWay or similar in China.

[@joelturbobyrnes]

@@oldman1944 the interior parts are all plastic vinyl and cloth

[@warriordrum]

Your being too nice on this machine. It needs to be fully accountable to the whole build plate. I am sure these 3d printer tests get onorous, and time consuming!

[@Gizmologist_]

PS95-8's are my favorite driver atm. I have them in ikea bowls on my desk right now. Im yet to print your dual 3" 'hexibox v.3' subwoofer enclosure to pair with them

[@BenHeien]

thats $100 in drivers for not much low end. id highly recommend going with the dual tang band w51138smf build that was posted right before this one. youll be able to play a lot lower and with a lot less distortion at higher volume. heck, the 6th order bandpass for the dayton classic 6.5" sub would do more for less. but if you have the money to spare, go for it! you WILL giggle the first time you hear it.

[@hortonj63]

I have to say thats pretty dang cool. Isobaric loading, and only using 10-12w of power total it hits pretty well. I like the colors youve been using. I take it Sophie loves orange too? Still using my Sennheiser Momentum HD1 and Behringer UM2 over USB. nothing fancy yet.

[@joshp8r]

cool stuff, I would be interested to see if a product like "bed weld" would help with your adhesion issues. ive had great luck with petg and PLA with it

[@NisAznMonk]

What slicer do you use? You’ve given me great motivation to try 3-D printing again. I’ve sucked at it for so long.

[@Eilaithen1]

Listening on beyerdynamic dt990s pros (dt990 editions) 250 ohm. Olympus 2 fiio dac (e10k). I also have focal celestees and a fiio ka11 dac for a portable setup. I want the new fiio k10 dac eventually to properly drive my beyers but the amp I have is great for the price.

[@psycodoood]

I have not had good experiences with PLA + textured steel sheet. I normally use textured sheets when printing PETG or TPU. For PLA I always use smooth sheets. For the "lifting" I always use a 5 to 10 mm brim, that helps a lot!

[@madlad_don2387]

I'm listening with 2 sets of the altech lancing ACS340 and a Proficent Protege FS10, got the altech set for free ar a yard sale and the Proficent at a thrift store for 20 bucks, the altech sets sound good but clip at high volumes but for a budget setup I love it

[@ImTreyParker]

What does wiring the woofers out of phase with one another do to the ohm load?

[@jamesmazeika7428]

Love the projects you create and enjoy your videos. But I saw the bed having adhesion issues and saw you using alcohol. But I'm just suggesting maybe using a degreaser soap instead, I stopped using isopropyl and started just using degreaser and a soft brush to clean all my plates. But if the plate is just garbage then that wouldn't help anyway. You could hit the plate with the green scrubby on a sponge to rough it up a bit as well.

[@madix124]

every video i watch i'm tempted to build a custom set of speakers. Currently listening through A set of Microlab M300BTs that I DSP'd using equaliserAPO to have a more neutral sound with a significant sub- and mid-bass boost

[@4shinigami]

Awesome stuff (Listening to you on KZ ZS12-PRO X"s through a FiiO K11 R2R DAC)

[@TruckerPolitics101]

I was listening with my Tinnitus 2.0 in-ear monitors, in the dark, in bed, trying not to wake up my little boy. It worked. How he doesn't wake up with this dual jet engine noise in my head 24/7 is beyond me..... Miss you guys.

[@BaddDukk]

Listening gear? At the moment, some older mid-level Skullcandy earbuds (the ones with the flat cables) straight off my Surface laptop. Not high tech but I'm listening to youtube... Nice little set there. Big fan of the TCP-115 drivers and the PS95s. I might give those satellites a print.

[@aracon9721]

I'm looking for some new PC speaker system for a looong time. Could this be it?

[@mugslschlaengli5928]

With this little power draw it would make a fantastic battery powered bluetooth speaker....

[@gumbywwf83]

Am i hearing things or is there a tiny delay in that bass? You can hear the punch but the resonance is slower to the ear as the air transfers to the radator. Super cool concept, ive never seen this.

[@chadconley9641]

I'm seeing a lot of filament in need of drying.

[@magnuslasses8958]

A 3d printed version of the HROAR sub would be cool 😉

[@markmalonson7531]

Luv it.

[@flippy9133]

The stringing is probably because of wet filament, would try drying it.

[@frankthetankricard]

This printer seems to have everything that prevented me from getting into 3d printing for years. I started with a Bambu machine and while I don't have great things to say about the company the printer itself works great. I think any company not implementing the same quality of life features in their printers is going to disappear. If I had to level my bed and manually calibrate the printer between each print I'd be printing nothing. Same goes to hardware upgrades. My hobby is printing and not wrenching on printers. Anyway thanks for the models, I might just try them out.

[@BeefIngot]

I would bet many of the not good things you have to say about the company are based on misinformation

[@granbusken]

Really miss the old Hexibase, from the mdf box times..

[@brian6029]

Please make something cool with the b2 mini sub.

[@loelmartinez868]

yes, would be nice seeing a blue tooth build with the 2" 4-Ohm B2 Audio Rampage RC2 Subwoofer. These things are tiny.

[@iAnders1000]

I offen lissen in the car, whit some EAD E60mkII and E130middbase drivers in a IB some brax ML1 tweters. And scanspeak subb. And its a realy nice space to lisen to all kinds of stuff.

[@micromaster7069]

Hi Hexibase, could you try making a underseat subwoofer design with the Dayton Audio lw150? 🙏 I’m not getting lower than 45Hz

[@MartianGopnik]

1:05 to 1:30 - My guess is that there is a low spot in the centre of the bed (like most printers,) and you might have crushed some perfectly-good PLA. The double-benchies both stuck because neither of them printed on the low spot, and the black benchy printed because it had a large brim vs. no brim for the orange benchy. If this printer has mesh bed levelling, plz ignore.

[@williamtomkiel8215]

My 3 x THTLP's for a total of 65 cu. ft. love this, . . and your channel

[@martinm9877]

So many adhesion issues, I wonder why they didn't ship the machine with textured PEI as almost all manufacturers do.

[@magnushartmann1819]

What do I need apart from 2 Banana Clamps, cables, drivers and amp? Don’t I need a frequency separation filter?

[@williamsmallwood8846]

So what amplifier would be the right one to use if that one’s discontinued? As well what side build plate will be needed. I’m still trying to use an A1 to make a speaker set one day with it

[@woldemortxyz7996]

How do you usually decide on port are and flare? In this instance that port is very small, but probably good enough for the designed low wattage, but how about high power applications, in thousands of watts, where port compression is inevitable?

[@David-vm1rs]

Hey Hexi, which speakers do you recommend for an TV setup ? I wanna print my own speakers. It should be compact as it gets and should Sound better then the tv allone

[@flashbacks7892]

Didn't know about this channel until I was reading a comment about B2 2" subwoofer on Willingston audio labs (Big 'd' Wiz) Question, you know the channel Barevids? He does alot of repair on car audio amplifiers, as well as making, testing and port tuning small enclosures.

[@Deezalmech]

Have you played around with an enclosure for bone conduction headphones? Ive searched youtube, nothing comes up. Just thinking how cool a 3d printed headphone holder/slash bone conduction speaker would be.

[@cma5603]

DT 990 pro, btw, I also got the passive KRK R6s on my desk. Very intersting build. Could be nice for a outdoors boombox replacement. How would you compare it to the 7th order bandpass?

[@jmsubs529]

I notice you get a lot of layer shifts. do you have a air conditioner or heater vent near your printers? Might be the issue with all these printers

[@Pascal.91]

Your skills and creativity would be interesting for a small project I’ve in mind but it’s beyond my skill level. I’m looking for small satellite speakers on my desk with ceiling facing drivers on top of it as Dolby Atmos reflective speakers. The difficulty part of it would be the sitting distance between speaker and desk chair in this office situation.

[@juststuff5216]

And if or Bang & Olufsen got a hold of this, it'll cost you about $18,000

[@alexcrouse]

Defective build plate/heater?

[@Works_Garage]

Still running my old Sony XM4 but with the active NC off or the Sony XM5 earbuds (not giveing a good bass response) otherwise good sounde.

[@linandy1]

It was fun video

[@uran23599]

i'm listening here with a pair of Canton Ergo 21 DC, with an old 12” woofer from a car (greak footrest:-) for low frequency reinforcement on a homemade amplifier. i actually prefer the kef q350, but they're just too deep for my office. so the kef's live in the bedroom.

[@Frietpan]

my sub made lots of noises during the demo :)

[@BenHeien]

can you recommend a simple crossover for the ps-95s? thank you so much for doing these! i have squirted out a lot of stuff you released. The dcs165 6th order absolutely FUCKS, hard. I wear the backpack speaker while riding electric unicycle and was very surprised with the fidelity! is the dsp file available anywhere? I think the most amazing build by far has been the dozer. Its nuts that the port JUST fits with the cuts on the inner flare. My main complaint with the design is the insane amount of support material required. The only reasonable, good hearted, American thing to do is design a MTM "Double Dozer" with a tongue/groove assembly. Think of all the plastic youll save from going in the land fill... do it for the children. they need you. i need you.

[@djredhareaus38]

Will this print fit on a ender 3

[@liontribegc]

Uh-to the-mazing!! Shaking my head-Wow!! Best diy Near-field sub I’ve ever seen! I have a music/multimedia studio, and taming the bass response has always been an issue. While mixing music, I generally have to turn subs on and off making adjustments: turn subs on and off: making more adjustments; to create a good average sound across different listening platforms 🙄 If you don’t have space for the “ultimate studio subwoofer” this is the way to go 😁 🤟😺🤟

[@thecatohitus]

i need a collab between HexiBase and EXOcontralto

[@OffGridOverLander]

Sadly, most of this was Greek to me 😂 however, I think this sub would work great for my M939 military truck cab for some music while on the road or trail. 👍

[@Exstaz]

Seems more like first prints pei tee on a dirty spot since the mirror printing worked.

[@gmodesike]

Prediction: Sophie's head will be shaved next video.

[@dtibor5903]

Why the travel is soooo slow? seems like to be 100mm/s???? Setting speeds of 500-700mm/s can reduce by a lot all of that oozing. That is what i use for my Ender 3v2 and BBL A1 bedslingers.

[@dougcox835]

That's what she said joke: "I'm just watching it wiggle".

[@666nacirema666]

I experimented with this exact sort of setup way back after taking apart a computer sub to see If I could get it to play lower then realizing the outer sub was just a PR. The one I ended up liking a lot was using an internal pr for the rear section with the active driver then a big port for the front section. At the time I had no way to model PRs or even 6th orders so it was a lot of making things bigger than they needed to be then adding mass inside to make the enclosure smaller til it sounded best same with the external port just started long and cut til it sounded good. Once I really got into car audio my first setup that could hairtrick was more or less done this same way though I also spent a lot of time adjusting things with a strobe light going to make sure everything was in phase at least mechanically the subs were. We are super lucky to have fairly accurate modeling software now especially if you take the time to know your your car or rooms acoustics. Very cool model your pods for it came out a lot like some I just designed and printed for my car. Though mine will house a tweeter as well for the highest frequencies.

[@666nacirema666]

also listened to demos on some monoprice mp80s I bought a pile of because they were being discontinued and sold for a major discount. They are surprisingly bassy at least with the nozzles Im using and overall good enough sound especially for electronic music. Might be my new favorite cheap headphones even though theyre fairly old.

[@MrBiron1]

You can probably print a few of these just sell them for a few hundred dollars.... You have enough sub that a few few of use want to support your channel

[@treschlet]

An exercise in space and power efficiency sound perfect for an idea I have for a battery powered PA on a cart for performaing live techo at conventions :)

[@theredstormer8078]

Seems like some crappy build plate finish to me.

[@thistledewoutdoors3331]

Portable bluetooth system using 2" subwoofers

[@BartSliggers]

Printed passive radiators would really be a game changer.😮😮😮

[@joshfrederick3787]

Please tell me what design software is capable of graphing response to complex enclosures! Specifically a 6th order bass reflex. Thank you!!!!

[@bkallday80]

Eco Crusher

[@vaeuth6996]

Why don't you line the inside of the speakers with foam or wool? Wouldn't it improve sound clarity and bass?
