Project Description:
The satellites were design in Solidworks using the 737-900s that Southwest Airlines use as reference. The model was spit into sections that could be 3D printed. After that, a lot of sanding, primering and painting finished them out. All electronics are mounted in the sub cabinet.
Design Goals:
My wife I a proud member of the Southwest Airlines family and to celebrate, I designed and built these so she can show her spirit at the office. They were intended for her desktop audio but the system works great as a bookshelf system being fed by a mobile device or a Sonos Connect.
