How I Designed This

Step 1: Measure the speaker

            <div><p>Mine is 1 cm tall and has a diameter of 1.2 cm (aka radius of 6 mm).<br>If your speaker has a different size, its easy to follow these steps and make your own.</p></div>                <p class="detail-title"><strong>Step 2: Making the model in Blender</strong></p>            <div><p>note: cura assumes one 'unit' is 1 mm. </p><p>So easiest way to model something in blender is to treat one blender unit as 1 mm as well. </p></div>                <p class="detail-image"><img src="https://cdn.thingiverse.com/assets/44/18/6c/ba/59/Blender01.png"></p>            <p class="detail-caption"><strong>Open Blender</strong></p>                <p class="detail-image"><img src="https://cdn.thingiverse.com/assets/f1/54/ab/d2/c5/Blender02.png"></p>            <p class="detail-caption"><strong>Delete Cube</strong></p>                <p class="detail-image"><img src="https://cdn.thingiverse.com/assets/25/12/a2/f4/0d/Blender03.png"></p>            <p class="detail-caption"><strong>Press 'n' to show information panel</strong></p>                <p class="detail-image"><img src="https://cdn.thingiverse.com/assets/35/cd/9d/fd/27/Blender04.png"></p>            <p class="detail-caption"><strong>Create Cylinder, 512 vertices, 6 mm radius, 10 mm depth (the size of the speaker), and place the center of the object at z-axis 8 mm (leaving 3 mm between bottom and floor)</strong></p>                <p class="detail-image"><img src="https://cdn.thingiverse.com/assets/0c/00/31/83/f4/Blender05.png"></p>            <p class="detail-caption"><strong>Create another Cylinder, 512 vertices, 8 mm in radius, 12 mm depth, and place the center of that object at z-axis 6 mm.
