Just a heads up for anyone with cracked or broken CX100 or CX50 grille frames. Two years ago I received a pair of CX100s from eBay that had brittle/broken grille frames, and needed new cloth anyway. I have a good 3D printer and decent CAD skills and was able to come up with a 3D printable design that has is in some ways better than the original. I uploaded the models to Thingiverse (https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3891202) for anyone to download and print/use. They were meant to be for personal use (not for profit), but I suspect that at least one of the sellers on eBay is using my design. Anyway, I never thought to post the links on this forum. But since I've finally logged back in for other reasons, I thought I might as well post a link. If you use them and like them, you can tip me via Thingiverse. If you don't have access to a printer, there are online print communities where hobbyists like me who have a printer can offer prints for a negotiated fee. There's probably someone within a mile (or km) of you that could print this, and you can probably find them online!
Enjoy, and please post here if you end up using this design for a refurb project!
