I very recently started making my own headphones. It turns out you can just buy headphone parts, so I ordered some AKG drivers, Grado headband and gimbal rings, brainwavs pads, and a few other parts. Still waiting on some parts but I've CAD'ed up some of the cans and the pad adapters, hopefully going to print some later tonight. My Lemmy app is kinda shitty and I've never been able to upload pics in comments but I'll try and add them when I'm at my computer later. I'm making them somewhat modular so I can try out different combinations of drivers, pads, and can geometry. Initially all the structure will be 3D printed but later I might mill out some nice hardwood once I find a design that I like.

Here are some of the parts I have so far. The part I'm printing now is highlighted in orange. I'm going to pause the print, insert a steel mesh, and keep printing, hopefully embedding the mesh in the pad adapter.

It’s like you’re building headphone chimeras. I didn’t realize you could just buy brand parts like that!

Been calling them Frankenphones but I like chimeras a bit better. Chimeraphones?
