ORTF Clippy Mount

thingiverse

The goal of this design is to craft a compact, featherweight ORTF holder for the diminutive "clippy" mics found on MicBooster. The mics are held at 17cm spacing at an angle of 110 degrees. There are three files that need to be printed. 1. Support for everything. This attaches to your tripod with a 1/4-20 threaded insert that fits into the bottom of this component. Part number is 93365A160 from McMaster. There are also eight holes for attaching the rubber suspension. These take 2-56 size threaded inserts #93365A110. 2. Rubber suspension. This should be printed out of an elastic filament like NinjaFlex or a similar material. Make sure the setting in your slicer that prohibits passing over open areas is enabled. 3. The floating mount for the microphones. They require two of the 2-56 threaded inserts to allow mounting of the snap part of the "Clippy". You just unscrew it from the alligator clip and re-mount it to the top of the posts. They have a cutout to allow alignment for 110 degrees. Make sure when you put in the threaded insert that it is flush with the top of the post, and no deeper. I also included a model without the shock mount.
