Desktop microphone shock mount for Blue Yeti/Yeti Nano

thingiverse

I sought a way to reduce the noise transmitted from my desk/computer. My use of the Yeti Nano is casual, intended for web meetings and similar events; I am not a podcaster or streamer, so a bulky setup with a microphone arm didn't seem necessary. I also wanted to minimize the amount of desk space used. I observed people using plates with rubber bands, but thought I could create a more elegant and durable solution. So, I designed a simple plate that fits well around the Yeti Nano (it would likely work for the regular Yeti or any other microphone with a stand diameter less than 4.8 inches). If you need a larger one, simply scale it accordingly. I then used inexpensive hair ties from a dollar store to create the webbing - stretching them between opposite notches. You could use more hair ties if you want to create a more complex or sturdy mesh by connecting different slots. The design features built-in notches that prevent the elastic hair ties from slipping out. It appears to work very well in reducing noise transmission from the desk. I saved quite a bit of money and avoided a cumbersome setup 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, do not sell this design commercially; feel free to use it yourself!
