Blue Yeti Shock Mount Adapter

thingiverse

Printing with long axis vertical and 50% infill resulted in part failure after one and a half days, causing entire shock mount and microphone to drop off stand. I highly recommend printing in orientation shown in STL thumbnail, with long axis parallel to build plate, and using 100% infill. Printing that way has worked without issue for me. BoXon's Blue Yeti shock mount was designed to be added to the end of an IKEA Tertial lamp, but I don't have that lamp. Instead, I use it on an inherited tripod base microphone stand with the old mic clamp removed, leaving only part that attaches to stand and screw forming its elbow pivot. My adapter bridges gap between that elbow part of clamp and two M3 screw holes on outer ring of shock mount. Two M3 nuts are used on M3 screws to keep shock mount on adapter. My outer ring was only scaled to 150% vertical height in Cura, so I used 20 mm long screws. If you double the height of outer ring as suggested by BoXon, you will likely need longer screws. Note: Adapter in photo is a few mm too short, resulting in my needing to shave little off bump in outer ring for it to fit. This is why infill is visible. I've since increased adapter height by 5 mm. Doubling height of outer ring may change this clearance.
