Just realised if I am turning this with a lathe then I can't leave any tabs sticking out What a numpty. They will have to be attached afterwards if I go with that idea.karatestu wrote: ↑Thu Jun 10, 2021 5:19 pm The Achilles heel of this design is the stand or legs. I like the idea of three round legs (for better diffraction ofc) which are slightly splayed outwards and taper towards the floor. The tricky bit is getting them at the right angle and attaching them to the sphere.
I have had various ideas and can't decide on one atm. The one I was thinking of today at work involves one (or two) of the rings of birch ply having three little tabs which stick out at equal distance around the circumference. These can be angled to attach the legs to. I don't want a ring going all the way around as it will cause diffraction and I am trying to avoid as many sources of that as possible.
I did think about wall mounts and I keep going back to that idea. My walls are brick so it could be done. I think it might be good to take the suspended floor in my room out of the equation. If hollow the arm could conceal the speaker cables. Hey presto, magic floating speakers Hard to faff with positioning though unless the bracket and arm are adjustable
