I'm not sure how you would use a 3D printer. you would need to make a very
good scan to replicate it.

Hi All,

 

A few years ago I was doing research into how to make my own Westone ES-5
in-ear monitor clones. They're $1000 and custom fit. It has 5 drivers but
components are still under $100. It dawned on me this morning how much
easier the process could be with an accurate 3D printer.

 

Is there any interest in investigating this? There's an factory tour here:

made-from-impressions/

 

Cheers,

Joshua
