Alice TSB-2555B Capsule Saddle

thingiverse

This is a printable microphone saddle and post designed for Jules Ryckenbusch's Instructable on modifying an affordable LCD condenser microphone: http://www.instructables.com/id/Modify-a-cheap-LDC-Condenser-microphone/ I documented my build here: https://tombenedict.wordpress.com/2016/10/09/bm-800-microphone-conversion-part-1/ https://tombenedict.wordpress.com/2016/10/22/bm-800-microphone-conversion-part-2/ The original microphone was machined from aluminum, but after printing a capsule saddle for the mid-side version of this microphone, I realized that 3D printed saddles work equally well. This will fit the mounting hole pattern of the Neewer NW-800 microphone body, and should also fit many other BM-800 microphones. It is specifically designed to accommodate the Transsound TSB-2555B capsule Jules used in his article. If you choose a different capsule, you will need to re-design this part. Print Settings Supports: No Notes: This prints fine without a raft and supports are unnecessary. I printed mine with 45% infill but it should work well with less. Since this part is placed inside a microphone, print quality resolution and overall aesthetics are up to the maker. If your printer tends to under-size holes you will need to open up the M2.5 clearance holes on the base.
