Sennheiser MD421 microphone clip

The Sennheiser MD421 is an incredibly versatile microphone, suitable for numerous applications. One thing that makes it stand out is its unique clip. With the knowledge you have now, you can even design and print your very own MD421-style clip - perfect for Sennheiser microphones, and compatible with various standard mic stand adapters, including Shure. You can find 3D printer designs for your custom clip on sites like http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:145635. Instructions To successfully create the grip you want, it's essential to print a small knob too, which you will use in combination with a sturdy 2x20mm screw to pass through its centre and form a secure thread. However, don't forget to drill a tiny hole beforehand - around 1mm should suffice - or risk breaking your delicate knob when passing the screw through it. Once that's done, carefully insert a spring under the tip of the screw, right where the head meets the shank. Push the screw through another small 2.2mm hole located in the grip. To secure everything firmly together and maintain precise operation, take the completed knob and fasten it back onto its spot on top of the shaft while ensuring that one end of it has already been securely positioned within a recess at the base of your printed design. To get perfect alignment you may have to shave down the borders of the knob itself as well as smooth out the top surface where the parts meet, which should make everything operate freely with a minimal amount of play. This version 1 model may require some improvement but overall its usability has turned out pretty decent, thus I encourage anyone who's interested to send feedback - if updates are in order you can be sure they will be added soon after!
