Approximate project cost: <$20
Maximum print dimensions: 222 x 99 x 65mm
Why pay $80 to $100 bucks for a Bluetooth stereo speaker when you can print and assemble your own for under $20! This Bluetooth speaker packs some punch along with some bonus features! Not only is it Bluetooth compatible to stream your favorite tunes from your phone or other device, but it features an inbuilt FM radio, supports USB and SD cards, has an inbuilt microphone for hands free talk and even has a remote control! Powered by two rechargeable lithium-ion batteries you can take this unit anywhere, and your tunes will be pumping for hours! (30-40 hours of playback to be precise!) Recharge the unit via the 5V mini USB input which you can connect to any 5V charging device or your computers USB port. The speaker features two dynamically angled 3W speakers which fill any room with clear sound and great bass!
Once you've downloaded the complete STL files visit http://www.project3dprint.com for direct links to purchase the electronics yourself for this project. In the mean time you can get printing!
Hi electronicsfordogs, thanks for the comments and concern. Yes, you are correct that this particular project is a link to an external website. These types of models do require a little more engineering and testing than your typical egg cup holder or figurine hence why we can’t offer everything we design for free. Ultimately we want to make our products notable and available to the 3D printing community (through sites such as Youmagine). As far as the future of 3D printing communities such as Youmagine, I don’t think ‘payed’ models will be the future of them (although I have heard speculations that in time they will, similar to napster and itunes), but as 3D printing continues to push a growing manufacturing revolution I think we will see the use of 3D printing expand in different sectors (such as printing and making your own electronic appliance as opposed to buying one). Not all of these sectors will offer charitable products (free downloads) as it’s just not economically justifiable. If sites such as Youmagine and the community that uses them don’t find value in the products we offer we will happily take our models down from here. Again, I appreciate your comments and keep up the clever designs you are posting.

I'm not sure this is quite what Youmagine is for...?
This is a really interesting project, but the Youmagine page is really just a link to another site where you have to pay $5 for the STLs. Is this '3D printer spam' or the future of Youmagine?
