Wooden speakers from a 3D printer
A well-rounded solution for perfect sound: Faigle3D and Bambu Lab present an innovative, 3D-printed speaker made of wood filament with a unique design and rich sound. A successful fusion of material, sound, and technology.

3D printing makes it possible to take creative approaches to product design – even in areas where you might not immediately expect it: loudspeaker construction. Faigle3D has developed a unique housing concept and implemented it using the H2D 3D printer from Bambu Lab.
The two 3D-printed enclosures are made of Extrudr Wood Filament with 60% wood content and impress with a size of 33 × 30 × 30 cm each. In the center of the loudspeaker is a sphere slightly attached to the propellers, which acts as a resonance chamber and gives the design a special acoustic depth.
Technically, it is a mixture of a transmission line box and a horn speaker. This design combines the advantages of both principles: precise bass control with high efficiency and a clearly defined sound image. In conjunction with a Bluetooth amplifier, this creates a warm, full sound spectrum, which is further enhanced by the unusual shape.
The 3D printing was carried out with a 0.8 mm nozzle on the H2D Bambu Lab 3D printer – proof that additive manufacturing can not only produce filigree details, but also functional acoustic structures. The inner “sphere within a sphere” in particular impressively demonstrates how precise, complex geometries can be created using FDM printing.
Faigle3D combines material innovation, sound research, and design. The project demonstrates how additive manufacturing can reinterpret traditional loudspeaker technology and create new objects that are both functional and aesthetically pleasing.
