{"data":{"model":{"id":"574890","slug":"bowers-wilkens-p6-tweeter-ring","name":"Bowers & Wilkens P6 Tweeter Ring","authorship":"author","club":false,"excludeCommercialUsage":false,"price":null,"eduProject":null,"ratingAvg":"5.0000000000","myRating":null,"ratingCount":1,"description":"

The B&W P6 speaker has the iconic external tweeter pod. The tweeter is protected by a mesh \u201cbasket\u201d that is connected to the pod housing by a retaining ring that snaps onto ridges on housing. Most P6s on the used market no longer have these baskets nor the retaining rings.

I recently acquired a set of these speakers and was pleasantly surprised that one of the tweeter pods still had the retaining ring attached. So, I modeled a new ring. After 5+ iterations, I created this model that fits identically to the original.

I hope it will be useful to others!

Example in pics printed on MK4 in Prusament PLA Galaxy Black am 0.2mm layer height.

UPDATE: I've added a \u201cdeeper\u201d ring (5mm vs 3mm). I do not plan to try and fabricate the mesh baskets, but instead will stretch speaker grill cloth. I will mount the fabric to the deeper ring to provide clearance to the tweeter driver.

UPDATE: Added pictures of the 5mm ring with speaker fabric stretched. I suspect some edge diffraction is being introduced, but my ears in my room can not tell the difference with the rings on or off.
