iirc it's a fireside B that has 2-4 gearing for some reason.
That's interesting but then nothing surprises me about the Edison company.

Good luck with your project.

I've been mainly using PLA for the 3d printed soundboxes that I have been experimenting with. PLA is harder than ABS (but more brittle). The weight will be lower than Aluminium (and even less if the part is not printed solid) but, based on my sounbox experience, I doubt there will be any impact on the sound quality.
