Great job with all of the 3D printing, it's very fun to see what people can come up with and easily create. If the sound doesn't seem quite correct with your setup, put some insulation inside of the box like bed top foam or something like that.

Hi Trucker_Jo!

Yes, it's pretty cool, but this print was a pain. I started it and it ran for 5-8 hours four times before I got one successful print. The problems were lifting edges, support coming loose, support lifting and SD card error. :-)

I'm definitely going to add some dampening material inside. Initially, I tried to print something like that, but it didn't work that well, and I decided to do it the traditional way, and then completely forgot about it. Thanks for reminding me! :-)

Here are some images of my attempts at printing the inner dampening:
