Desktop microphone shock mount for Blue Yeti/Yeti Nano

thingiverse

I wanted a shock mount to reduce noise transmitted from my desk/computer. My use of the Yeti Nano is casual, for web meetings, etc (ie not a podcaster or streamer) so didn't see the point of a whole bulky setup with a microphone arm, etc. I also wanted to use the least amount of desk space. I saw people using plates with rubber bands, but thought I could make a more elegant and durable solution so I designed a simple plate that is about 4.9"/12.4cm in diameter (it fits the Yeti Nano well and I think it would work for the regular Yeti or any other mike with a stand diameter less than 4.8" or so). If you need a bigger one, just scale accordingly. I then used simple dollar store hair ties (4) to make the webbing - stretching to the opposite notch. You could use more hair ties if you want to make a more complex/sturdy mesh by connecting different slots, etc. It has built in notches so the elastic hair ties won't slip out. It seems to work very well in reducing noise transmission from the desk. Saved quite a bit of money and way less cumbersome if you don't want to use a microphone arm and shock mount. I've never designed anything for Thingiverse before - hope others find this useful! Please, no commercial sale of this design - feel free to use for yourself!
