If you follow the links through, he's selling them for around $28. Works on both the 8 or 16.
I appreciate the info on this fix! I've been using my Pro8 without the middle tower connecter because of the loose feeling fit. For ~$30 its worth the try.

Mine got here today and I installed it for tonight's gig. I never really noticed a lot of tower wobble before but dang it is tight now!! Well worth the $30 and it came with two. Great deal.

Well it's just one guy making them in batches. I'll bet if you contact him he'll reply (his email is in the "more" section you can click on below the video.)

Yes, I make them in batches when my 3D printer is cooperative. I spent 2 weeks evenings and weekends correcting a mechanical problem. I ordered a new Bambu lab x1c printer and had to test it for over 1 week before getting a result I was happy with. The part is difficult to print.

I still haven't been able to reprint on my first V400 printer just to let you know...
TPU (flexible materials) with 0.58mm wall is difficult to get a good result

I must have thrown away around 75 pieces over the past 2 weeks.. it takes 1 hour to print per piece

Hi man, I didn't realize you had posted here before. Hope you can keep at it, you're a Bose fan hero! One hour does sound like a lot--only then to find out if it's acceptable.

I got mine a couple of weeks ago and used it on a few gigs. They have worked exactly as advertised and seem to be a very high-quality product. thank you for offering these.

Good morning

Yes the material does not like the speed as well as the thinness of the piece means that there are often defects on the insertion walls and there must not be any otherwise it does not insert well and I do not sell that if there is a defect in the side walls.
