Do you have real life pics of the outcome? Is this azure backplate also 3D printed?
BTW Are you using SW for modelling?

That would mean a wooden faceplate right? 
Maybe laser cut then?
@Rikudou_Goku your buds have completed my ultimate portable setup. Apple Watch w/ LTE and Spotify Offline paired with the Q5K. Not the best with regards to audiophile quality streams but, the convenience is amazing. Perfect setup for the gym and walks to keep form factor light and convenient.

So far im planning on getting a 3d wood printing service to make it for me, local in the UK. The backplate however is a laser cut brass plate, which I really want to add to this design.
I use fusiom 360!

Absolutely! Good 3d wood printing is tough to get so I’m getting someone else to do it for me. Should be a few days before I get a response for the shells and brass cut outs

Anyone with the Koss KPH30i here and thinks it is too bloated?

I’ve tried this design but the wing was too long and too stiff (I’m earlet lol).
I’ve been using those and they are great and come in three sizes.

Just an update and info to all audiophile community…
I just bought Sony XBA-N3AP (used) yesterday. I also have FiiO FH3 (tip rolled, cable 4.4) with Shanling UA5 dongle.
At first 2-3 hours test, i thought N3 sucks. Too warm, bloated, no details, much less dynamics. I almost sell it back.
Then later at night I tested again for 2 hours. But this time I put in tips spinfit Cp100 size SS. Boom! It snug into my ear canal perfectly at best comfort and isolation. I know this will sound different. I hit play, that was it! I know it sounds better than Fh3. I kept playing songs for 1 hour. No discomfort sign. Good.
Then I put FH3 back, the listening became less fun. Fh3 has better technicalities, but just a smidge. N3 sound better overall (but not far off), especially its natural timbre! You will hear Fh3 sounds a bit metallic BA timbre.
Lesson learned, make sure you do tips rolling and isolation at best
I’m selling my Fh3 #fiiofh3 #sonyn3 #sonyxban3ap

I bought xba-N3AP for 80€ 2 weeks ago (special sales in France). I must admit I don’t really like it. I find the bass too dry. It lacks some meat, for a basshead set as I imagine it.

Mail call from @Rikudou_Goku. Added the Berserker, Grand Archer and Lancer to the lineup. Going to dedicate the next two hours to some listening time. Excited to see what these have in store for me.
