Astro A40 Speaker Cover

thingiverse

This attachment serves as a substitute for the stock assembly of magnetic shield and base plate on the headset. Multiple variations are available here. Instructions V1 is simply a flat surface, requiring only basic printing. Picture 2 depicts V1 in a closed state, while picture 3 shows it open. V2 approximates the original shape but necessitates printing on top of support material to prevent a rough surface finish. Both closed and open designs are available for this version. The IJMV2 version features an exclusive logo embossed into its closed form, seen in pictures 1, 4, and 5. To install this attachment, begin by carefully pulling off the plush pads from their location. Next, remove the four screws visible underneath to access the internal components. Using a precision tool or flathead screwdriver, gently peel away the attached cloth. Take note that glue only surrounds the perimeter, so don't worry about causing damage. Once you've exposed the necessary areas, proceed to undo the four screws surrounding the speaker grill and remove any original materials. This should make room for the new installation, after which it's complete. If your chosen design features an open form, you can salvage the felt-like material originally underneath the base plate, as this can be reused to maintain headset dust filtration functionality. For personal preference, printing in a solid color is advised; however, both material availability and user choice will dictate this aspect.
