Beckman's AirPod design is incredibly faithful to the original.
His AirPod speaker includes even the smallest details of Apple's earbuds, from the small buttons and grooves, to the "L" that marks that it's for your left ear.
Aside from using a 3D printer to construct the AirPods speaker surface model, Beckman used paint to draw on the "L" and black dots, and window screen to create the mesh look of the speaker inside the AirPod.
Beckman also assembled the electronics to make his giant AirPod a functional speaker. Next, he plans to build a matching right-ear AirPod Max, so he can get stereo sound.
Like any functional Bluetooth speaker, Beckman built in a charging port that allows him to re-power the battery after use. Beckman told Business Insider that from design to completion, his AirPod speaker took around 22 hours to complete.
