Preface

When tuning settings on my printer I do a lot of test prints. For best adhesion and dimensional accuracy you want to probe a bed mesh which stays valid as long as you don’t move the bed.

I happen to be very impatient so I take the build plate off of the print bed to have my print ten precious minutes earlier. Now, it so happens that probing the bed with the original probe — slowly; point, by, point — takes about five minutes which can be a significant slice of the printing time on short test prints. One day, while watching YouTube, the existence of eddy current probes was brought to my attention. When I saw the ability to scan the bed in mere seconds I was already sold.

Preface

A few months ago I was learning how to use FreeCAD after hearing about UI/UX improvements — it’s gotten a lot better — and I stumbled upon the world of 3D printed speaker enclosures. I was fascinated by the creations showcased on the HexiBase YouTube channel. ¹

Around the same time I began acquiring and making gifts for my immediate family and struggled to decide on a gift for my brother. I foolishly decided that building my brother a pair of speakers would be a fun project.

OMG HAIIII!!!!
