The specifications of the speakers are as follows (if you follow their assembly instructions): Fillamentum offers a wide range of other 3D printing materials, with a large variety of materials, ranging from the Timberfill, to traditional PLA, ABS, and even PVA. As many of you know, wood is commonly used in the building of speakers, due to its physical characteristics of improving sound quality. The Timberfill filament, used in printing this speaker, not only looks like wood, but the company says it behaves just like wood as well. They also provide the instructions for assembling it. Akemake is offering this design completely free for those who wish to print it out at home. The speaker, called the Spirulida, was designed by Ondra Chotovinsky, and is based on a deep sea squid-like species – the Spirulida. “This 3D printed model is the first speaker in the world printed from Timberfill material made by Fillamentum,” Machal Kandler of Akemake tells.

However, a company called Akemake, with the help of a new 3D printing material from Fillamentum, is trying to change this.Īkemake has recently used a 100% natural wood filament called Timberfill to print out a working desktop speaker. Recently, more and more people have begun using other materials like nylon. When most people think about FDM 3D printers, they picture these machines printing in PLA or ABS plastic.
