Headphone Stand with Weighted Base

thingiverse

I created a 4mm recess to add two 4" octagonal metal electric box covers, providing weight to the base without increasing its height. By simply gluing them in with epoxy, the weighted base now resists tipping effectively. Additionally, I glued a cork bottom onto the base to prevent it from marring or slipping on surfaces.

I was particularly impressed with a remix of this design by @mmakaj, which featured a flat base that allowed for vertical printing. This modification gave me the idea to create an inset for weight, now that I didn't need to worry about supports.
