30 mm tweeter pod

A little housing for a 30 mm tweeter, so the driver sits in a proper enclosure instead of dangling on its wires. The front has a spoked grille, the back cap has a slot for the wire to leave, and the whole pod tilts up slightly. Change the dome size or how deep it sits to match your driver.

Hardware

  • 30 mm dome tweeter, 42 mm flange, 38 mm deep
  • Speaker wire, about 3 mm

Assembly

  1. Thread the wire through the cap's wire hole and solder or clip it to the tweeter terminals.
  2. Drop the tweeter into the shell from the back until its flange sits on the ledge.
  3. Tie a knot in the wire inside the cap for pull relief.
  4. Push the cap on until the snap bumps click. A drop of glue is optional.

Good to know

  • Tweeter sizes are estimates: a 42 mm flange, 3 mm flange thickness and a 30 mm dome. Measure yours and adjust the sliders.
  • The wire hole is a tight fit with a 0.4 mm gap around the wire. Thread the wire before you fit the cap.
  • The snap bumps and the fit clearance of 0.2 mm are untested. Print the cap first and tune the Cap fit clearance slider if it is too tight or loose.
  • The Use it motions are reported as 'blocked' by a 0.000 mm³ overlap. This is almost certainly a rounding artifact, and the tweeter and cap paths otherwise check clear.
  • At the 38 mm depth the shell wall at the joint is about 2 mm.
