How I made a $40 speaker that sounds like $200

I wanted to find out if it’s possible to build a really good Bluetooth speaker for under 40 dollars - fully 3D printed. The result honestly surprised me: it looks like a store-bought speaker, sounds way better than expected, and is super easy to build. In this video, I’ll take you through every step. From designing and 3D printing to final assembly and sound testing. 🧠 Want to build your own?
