The local theatre asked if it would be possible to 3D print a fake 1920s style microphone for their production of Guys and Dolls, so I spent a couple hours designing, and a couple more on post-processing and got it turned around in about 4 days. I wasn't sure whether they wanted the "tail" of cord on the base, so I made two different base designs. One is longer and has a cutout for the cord, much like a lamp. The other is shorter and doesn't have the cut out. This print also needs 8 extension springs that aren't too stiff, and a bit of braided cord to fake the actual electrical cable. I personally think the taller base piece looks better, but I made a mistake during assembly, and while trying to correct it I accidentally sheared the stem on my taller base, which already had a weak point because of some filament grinding during printing, and I didn't have time to spend another ~22 hours printing. So, the finished pictures here are using the shorter base.
