Grado gimbals/yokes

thingiverse

The gimbal/yoke design for Grado Headphones is a variation of existing items I own, carefully modeled to meet specific requirements. Both the peg/no-peg models feature a 3.2mm / 1/8" socket that perfectly fits the rod used by Grado. The 'no peg' model also has similar sized holes for use with a removable peg, such as a screw. The 'B' model is inspired by pictures of Martin Custom Audio gimbal/yokes and similar designs from Rholupat. It features 3.2mm / 1/8" holes intended to be threaded with an M3 thread for some kind of screw that can secure the pegs and rod with a threaded end. It's worth noting that none of these designs have the rod hole angled like the original Grado yokes. I've had the 'B' model printed at Shapeways in stainless/bronze, resulting in a high-quality product (see image).
