We've posted a pinned comment to clarify that our flawed creations don't reflect the quality of the Satyr 1 project. The pinned comment text is as follows.
 
 

Thanks for having us on the set as well, if only for a moment!
 
Your video led us to Capra and we are working on doing some tuning of head(amame) together, so I'm counting that as a win! Perhaps this spells the opportunity to do a "state of the nation" in 3DP audio some time in 2024?
 
Companies like Capra, Deposition Sound, and ourselves are really starting to bring high end audio into a different price bracket if you are capable of running a 3D Printer and doing some assembly yourself.
 
Thanks also for your candid response. 
 
All the best, 
Morgan 

This is the first I hearing of us coordinating anything about this project with you directly. I'll inquire about how expectations were set.
 
If it helps at all, I can relate to your frustration. Every comment I see about how bad this review is makes me want to put my fist through the screen and shout "what part of any of this made it sound like a review??" 
 
The thing is, when 1M people watch something, if even 1% completely miss the point, that will be 10,000 people. No getting away from it. 
 
I think most people are pretty clear that we made no attempt to build this properly because it wasn't the point. 
 
Maybe there will be an opportunity to do a DIY headphone project where we build the Satyr 1 for real. I was very impressed by many aspects of the design and I think it could be a cool topic. It just wasn't the topic today and I'm sorry if you felt misled 😞

I would like to preface this with the fact that I was not aware of the plan when I initially sent these files. When a representative of LMG reached out to a Discord server I was in for recommendations regarding DIY headphones and parts and brands, I responded saying that I was making a design intended to be entirely DIY’d. I released it, and your representative was sent the link to the project and the files. That was the extent of my interaction.
 
I do realize part of this is on me for not inquiring deeper on the cause of this, and I should have done my due diligence in trying to find out more. When someone reaches out and asks for a DIY headphone project, I am going to try to provide them the best possible one I can find or make. It was my understanding that they would be shown as instructed, possibly in a head to head comparison of multiple DIY headphones.
 
If I had known this was the plan from the beginning, or even what this ended up turning out to be, I wouldn’t have participated in the way I did. If anything I would have been fine making a test bed for this project that was totally separate to goof around on! I’m seeing negative impressions of my passion project from your audience and curious comments about even being able to make these yourself despite having the files linked. I understand that you can’t control your audience, or that all of them will get the intent you had, it’s just a bit hard to see those things about something you worked on for the community, aimed at folks just like them to make themselves.
 
I had all the intent to have these be accessible, and having more visibility helps that, I just had hoped that more would grasp the idea that these are good sounding headphones that you can make yourself from this video. I feel like things could have gone better for all parties involved and I wouldn’t have been upset at all if LMG had asked me for something specifically for this. I guess to me this just feels like a missed opportunity.

Linus needs to review these.

Thanks guys:)
Here are some "meanwhile" photos. The project is in its late stages and I just found out about this forums.

Here are few crappy photos :(

And some better ones

There are only few things lef to do.
I'm replacing the plexi windows for a lighter shade and adding some ventilation to the back of the mobo.

Replacing the psu sticker. And some more cable managment.

Hi guys
I'm new to this forum and what better to introduce myself than show you my rig and planed updates. Here is my project Redefine. It's based of Fractal Designs define mini.

Hardware list
Cpu: Intel I5 2500K
Mbo: Asus Maximus geneZ IV gen 3
Gpu: Asus gtx 670 dcuII
Ram: Gskill RipjawsX
Sdd: OCZ vertex 4 128gb
Hdd: WD caviar black 1tb
Psu: Corsair ax 850
Cooling: Corsair h100
Case: Fractal design define mini
The build is in it's late stages but i tought i'll sare it with you. Things I've done so far
360 mod. It's mod I done so the case would accommodate 360 radiator in the front. I removed all hdd cages and 5,25" bay and cut the front of the case and made a custom bracket.

Window mod. It consists of two windows on the case so it could show the inside of the case. One is on the side panel and other one is on the top.

Painted the case with structure spray to set the finis off from the standard powdercoat.

Cable sleeving with paracord.

SSD mod. I made custom bracket to mount the ssd in the back of the mobo tray.

False floor. I cut the aluminum to cover the fan holes in the bottom of the case.

Cable management bracket. So I could tidy up the back of the motherboard tray.

Paint and carbon fiber vinyl on the front.

Here's what it looks like partially put together.

Hope you like it :)

If you live in a cool room crank up your overclocks and use your computer as a heater.
