Articulating Microphone Arm

thingiverse

*THIS ONLY KINDA WORKS AND IS A WIP, PRINT AT YOUR OWN RISK* Needed a low profile microphone arm for my Shure SM57, but the only one I found was the Elgato LP arm, and that's $100! Total cost was ~$10-15 including fasteners and filament. Highly recommend printing "5_8-27_bolt_12mm_v1" slowly and with the smallest layers possible--40 mm/s 0.12 mm layer height worked well on my Ender3 V2. Assembly uses one of every part except for "Connecting_Arm_V1", which is used twice to extend the microphone out further. Infills currently used: - "C-Clamp_V1" 50% (I might try 100% but I have my doubts about a plastic mount being viable at all. It flexes quite badly and I suspect it might fail from creep This metal clamp used for VESA monitor mounts is more suitable: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07BHXXR4D/) - "5_8-27_bolt_12mm_V1" 40% (20-30 would probably work too, I'd say just make sure there are enough walls) - "Mic_Arm_V1" 40% (not a big deal, 20 probably works fine) - "Connecting_Arm_V1" 10% (this was for a sanity check. They are not nearly as stiff as they should be and as a result my current version sags and oscillates far too much. 60+% is more ideal) - "Helper_Member_V1" 20% (doesn't do much, this is fine) Uses 3" long 5/16 bolts and 5/16 nuts. UPDATE 8/21: Added missing part "Swivel_Mount_V1"
