You where prob given a design spec and did the best with what you where given.
I only wrote what my opinion was that for me a finnished Mycroft II had very little appeal.
I wondered generally with alternatives avail and at a expected price point if generally the appeal would be narrow.
It was just going the DIY root myself where some really simple kit forms just don’t exist. When you find something that doesn’t exist when there seems to be a market, it makes you wonder if that is a better option.
But yeah more modular that it isn’t just a single Mycroft II but a line of a base with upgrades that helps fit more pockets and choice.
I went on a bit of a purchase spend, but much hasn’t arrived and would have more specific info on the kits purchased.
I found 4" pipe annoyingly tight and problematic whilst 110mm a metric format was a perfect fit, think 5" is next US but it was just how to do a puck without much gear so the S-pipe design came to mind.
Its just an extremely low cost engineering material that was sourced because its round but its validity grew on me
I should of been able to tell you about those tectronic BMR speakers if its just sales pitch and if stealing the google form of a central pimple to create a ripple over what might be a first logical assumption that you needed a shapeform to further disperse over the horizontal axis of a single speaker.
I wondered about Pi4 thermals which I have found those ‘armour’ case/heatsinks with a just a little air flow to be great.
If a bass reflex was pointless or not…
I meant to have a few photo’s and write up by now but the coronavirus has had much effect with deliveries even if well, .
I was supposed to demonstrate how a tube form and some discs could be solvent welded into product that creates a customisable stack that went from bluetooth speaker to the full pan-tilt cam/screen robot AI.
I have some lovely carbon fibre effect vinyl for the ‘wrap’, the 4" tube that turned out just slightly too tight for respeaker 2 and some cone sizes whilst the 110mm, and various bits seem to be in coronavirus limbo.
So yeah still very much at an initial stage myself.
