The ceiling is complete and now working on the walls. I've been putting finalizing my in-wall/in-ceiling speaker connections ... It's time to commit so I can prep the walls and ceiling for them. The plan was to find a connector that was attractive and unintrusive as there will be lots of these will be showing. It needed to be less than an inch deep to fit with-in two layers of wall board. I also wanted something which didn't stick out too far from the wall. Needless to say, I didn't find anything I wanted ... so I did what I always do ... designed my own. I had two versions in mind: one with the typical dual banana plug spacing and another which I though might be more interesting ... so I prototyped that one first: ![[Linked Image from i.postimg.cc]](https://i.postimg.cc/hQVFnFBv/tandom-connector-front.jpg) ![[Linked Image from i.postimg.cc]](https://i.postimg.cc/8Jr9d8s4/tandow-connector-side.jpg) I designed it so it would accept a snap on cover ... just in case I didn't want to see the connectors. Anyway, I'll probably prototype the other soon. I'm sure i've seen something like that somewhere. I was looking for recessed plugs like this many years back and opted to cover over the main plates for now until i actually needed jacks.

The requirements were a little tight. I needed a box which was no deeper then an inch and not protrude out more then 10 cm (to fit behind an on-wall).

So you made those with a 3D printer?

I would say i'm jealous, but i'm not actually sure what i would do with a 3D printer. I can't think of any projects for which it would be so handy. In your case, very handy.

It comes in handy ... even if it's just to make a stand-off to get some spacing right ...
or that part which broke on your head phones ... this has gotten a lot easier now that you can do 3d scans with your iPad/iPhone.

Officially into the thread hijack now, just how big a part can you print with your specific setup?
I've been reading about the various types in MaxPC mag to which i subscribe and have for almost two decades now. It is interesting stuff but i still can't think of a lot of things i would use it for to justify the cost.

Ender 3D V2 .. prints ,I think, up to 220 x 220 x 250 mm
It's inexpensive at $300 USD but you'll want add another $50 for an auto leveler. (Otherwise you'll spend 10 minutes leveling the bed before each print ... and if you don't do it, or don't do it right your print will probably go badly (and you get to do it again.)

I took a look at the unit. Love the video showing the GUI. Do you have to learn Chinese first? https://www.creality.com/goods-detail/ender-3-v2-3d-printerAre the materials recyclable as plastics go?

Actually I use an open firmware upgrade for it … but to answer your question the standard software comes set to English … but if you want to learn Chinese you can change it
