SEVERANCE Speaker/Intercom Build

[Astyanax]

After scornflake was so nice as to provide a V1 model, I am starting this thread to document my build of the intercom speaker from Severance.



Details on the model and a download of the STL file can be found here.

First print of the grill:



I think the V1 is a little too large, and it's missing a couple rows of holes. Here's what it looks like in the only two scenes where we see it being handled:



I will size-adjust accordingly.

Do it for Kier.

 

[scornflake]

Thanks - what did you print with? it looks amazeballs.

 

[scornflake]

Here's some fixed STLs, along with fixed mounting points (there was some swarf). 10% reduction in size.

 

[scornflake]

not incuded in above STL yet, but considering rounding the case corners where the cuts are.
In FDM I figure it wont show up. Resin prob will.

Hmm. On closer inspection, I think the rounding im seeing is due to the actual prop construction. I could perhaps push the ridges back more tho (on the front face)

 

[scornflake]

Another thing I just thought of. I modelled the entire thing based on the front face. The bottom of which is sliiiiiiightly curved upwards at the bottom left/right (see pic). I don't see the same on the rear pics.

If it were ENTIRELY flat on the bottom there wouldn't be two lines there... it's very, very slightly raised on those edges.


Oh. Um. Feet. What about feet?

 

[scornflake]

there might be issues. I just stuck it into a slicer and I get this, on the RHS, aka: gaps!
Urrm. I think even the left is just one layer thick. I prob need to increase wall thickness around those cuts on the inside

New hole layout is perfect!

It's an Elegoo Saturn 2 8K. The face was printed nearly flat to the build plate, with a small angle to prevent suction. I love that workhorse!

Maybe, but that's possibly an artifact of the photography and the FDM printing of the original. Hard to say, but not a bad idea.

I wouldn't worry about feet. We see nothing in the show, and having the freedom to stick our own feet on it (or not) is probably best. Besides, they interfere with sanding.

I wouldn't overthink it. If you look closely, you can see FDM layer lines in the speaker. It's not even the best FDM you could get! No, the roundness is construction, IMO. I can always add a little roundness when I sand anyway.

Agreed, don't do the rounding; I don't think it was intended. There's a "retro-70s" feel to the speaker that wouldn't have such fine design.

BUT...the slots should extend through the front; I should see the five slots when facing the front. But no rounding of edges



EDIT: I took a look at your latest STLs, and I honestly think they are perfect! Printing will tell for sure, so please stand by!

I'd settle for a Music Dance Experience.

Pinging ssdesigner. Please feel free to share your build innovations here too, please!

Oh. Um. Feet. What about feet?

I'm guessing the prop was made for the show, and not a found part (someone correct me if it's already been identified). But if it was loosely based on the Charlie's Angels speaker (Western Electric 108 loudspeaker), those cases have two small feet runners on the bottom that accommodate the bottom curvature of the case. I doubt they bothered to add those to the prop, but it might be a neat addition.

 

[scornflake]

In this case it seems the cable came straight out the back, so I just mirrored that idea.

 

[Rich D.]

Totally. I was just throwing out an idea about possible feet. Excellent work on the modeling for this!

 

[Astyanax]

First print of the case looks FANTASTIC!



There are some printing artifacts on the back side that happened due to orientation, but nothing a little sanding shouldn't be able to fix.

Size in the hand feels perfect!

 

[scornflake]

excellent!
I've just added a bit of padding to the internal, to hopefully make those side cuts look a bit better.
You can still see some weirdness on the right hand side, but it's better than before. Before... you could see through it with those same slicer settings...

 

[scornflake]

Annd. opps. I forgot to re-add the cuts to the front, which I've also made deeper.
In this one, I've falattened it in case any one is crazy enough to print in this orientation (i.e: so you can replicate the print lines as seen in the original pics)... actually: scrap that, I just sliced it and it's still not flat... don't print. Working on it.

 

[scornflake]

Annnddd... rewind. I've kept the other updates but reverted the flat bottom. While it's still 'untidy' on the print bed (at least, fdm), it's better than the alternative (which wasn't even flat). And here's a lovely pic of madness if you DID decide to print it this way.

 

[Astyanax]

Very happy with the new grill! Hole count is correct, size feels right, and I've modified mine for magnets as well! There is a little "bowing" deformation of both parts due to the flexibility of resin, but boiling water oughta do the trick.

I am NOT interested n replicating the print lines!
