7 Things I wish I knew before building my 3D printed headphones

After nearly a decade of falling for marketing gimmicks and chasing the minute discernible differences in sound, I finally stepped back to look at my obsession with audio gear. Among the realizations that dawned on me, the most profound concern was the amount of waste I was generating by buying new headphones every few months. Now, I'd like to preface that by saying I'm not a rough user or a spendthrift, but headphones mandated replacement because structural bits would fail while the drivers wouldn't. The products often seem designed for replacement rather than repair.
