Just to mention: Teufel has been even moving further with their fully open hardware design of MYND [0]. Hope others will follow.

I bought one just this week because of this. They really went above and beyond:

- mechanical CAD, schematic and PCB files: https://docs.teufel.de/download/MYND/Open_Source_Hardware_Fi...

- firmware: https://github.com/teufelaudio/mynd-firmware

- Bluetooth API documentation: https://cdn.teufelaudio.com/image/upload/v1748589486/product...

- battery repair/replacement guide: https://cdn.teufelaudio.com/products/MYND/pdf/Teufel_MYND_RM...

I believe that they designed the mechanical parts to be 3D-printable as well.

This is really cool! I'd be curious if one could 3D print different resonance chambers to get different desired sounds from the speaker.

They do have very basic EQ but for sure you have enough documentation to modify the speaker itself if you'd like.
