I already had some Koss Porta Pros so I printed it and used that for a couple of weeks (after tweaking the size of some parts for a tighter fit, especially the push pin which is/was modelled too small). However, after a couple of weeks using that, I came to the conclusion that while the design's intent and general approach are valid, it had a couple of issues (mostly a lack of rigidity) that annoyed me and that couldn't be completely fixed by just resizing parts before printing. This print is a complete redesign strongly inspired by the original, but which fixes all of the gripes I had with it and adds some niceties. I hope you like it! I'd love to see your makes :) See the link above for full details and instructions. <iframe src="https://player.vimeo.com/video/536485201" width="640" height="360" frameborder="0" allow="autoplay; fullscreen; picture-in-picture" allowfullscreen></iframe> <b>UPDATE June 2021:</b> Small tweaks to alleviate minor issues raised by @AlexKapa94, such as rounding the teeth a bit. To make sure the parts fit, make sure to calibrate your filament (specifically the flow rate) and try turning on "External Perimeters First" or similar to prevent parts from being printed a tad too large. ----- ## Gripes with the original design - Too loose (requires frequent re-adjustment to align with your ears properly, especially when rotating your head quickly which can cause the arms to move out of place) - Unnecessary front-to-back rotational adjustment (causes much flex and too easy to move by accident and you end up with the arms at different angles on each side) - The arm moves too freely to get a good amount of pressure on the ear, which is necessary to get good bass. - Plasticky noise when moving head (caused by loose parts and too many adjustments) - The face plate is too easy to move vertically (easy to move by accident) - The hinge pin is the wrong size and even when sized properly can get looser with time ## Enhancements in this redesign - Much sturdier overall (no flex, stays in place once adjusted to your liking) - The clip holds much better on the head strap (it's mostly like the original, just tighter) - No plasticky noise caused by loose parts and unnecessary adjustments - Maintains its position once the arm is lowered and allows a reasonable amount of pressure to be applied on the ear - No front-to-back rotation (slide the clip on the strap to align with your ears instead) - The hinge is held together by an M5x20mm screw, which won't loosen over time and fits better. - Built-in wire management (on the face plate and behind the clip) - Shorter face plate while retaining most of the adjustability. Takes less space when stored flat and looks less like antennas!
