Screw on Headphone Stand - Slightly Over Engineered

prusaprinters

This is a reworking of my previous Headphone Stand:https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3355293but slightly over engineered. The simple mortice joints have been replaced with dovetail joints. These will have to be printed with supports to be accurately printed.I designed this headphone stand to fix ON the edge of a table, be able to hold your headphones without taking up any table space.IMPORTANT NOTES: The nature of PLA makes this design bend and warp over time - there's not really much you can do about this. If you can print it in PETG you will have a stand that will last forever (practically). You can also print this with a 0.8mm nozzle, which will cut your print time down to a fraction of the time. Note, the screw is designed to simply fix the stand to the table, so almost no pressure is needed on the screw - in fact you would damage the structure of the stand by clamping it too tight.The design should be suitable for any headphone - mine happily hold a pair of Audio-Technicas and a Sennheiser HD600.EDIT: This design works AMAZINGLY well, if you stick a little rubber surfacing to the underside of the top support - the one that will touch the table top. PLA has a tendency to be very slippery when printed, so tightening the clamp didn't really stop it from moving. I bought some $1 rubber non slip material from a dollar store and stuck it on with some glue - with brilliant resultsPrint SettingsPrinter Brand:CrealityPrinter: Ender 3Rafts:Doesn't MatterSupports: YesResolution:0.4mmInfill: 15%Filament: 3D Print PLA Black Post-Printing =============TolerancesDepending on your print settings, the tolerances of the dovetail joints will be tight - or too tight. Some light de-burring and filing will take care of this.At first I designed this to require no glue and slot together and stay together. The nature of PLA means that these joints will very quickly open up too much to hold together. I joined mine with superglue and it's solid as a rock now.The screw will happily fit into the threaded hole, but you'll need to slowly run the bolt through the nut a few times to loosen up the threads.   Category: Audio
