The Dodecahedron Speaker may look like a strange pendant lamp, but that's because it is no lamp at all but a suspended sound system in a spherical form. Comprised of twelve speakers, the Dodecahedron Speaker provides omnidirectional sound that will get the party started in no time. The kicker? It is a do-it-yourself project that requires a 3D printer to create. Of course, this is a much more affordable option than existing ones currently on the market.
Shared by Instructables user Sean Ragan, a detailed guide shows people how to create a Dodecahedron Speaker for themselves. Made out of four different parts (face modules, vertex plugs, edge gaskets and bezels), it is relatively easy to make.
