Tofty Headphones 5: Fully Open

thingiverse

I present my attempt at a fully open pair of headphones. (Driver Clamps specifically designed for the peerless drivers have been added) The headband used with these headphones can be found here: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:5141087 My 3D printed Borealis headband would also work on these earcups: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:5201999 Parts Required (other than printed parts): 4x Aluminium M3 x 55mm round standoffs, 5mm diameter, black (ebay, various other lengths are available), 8 x M5 1mm thick nylon washers (ebay) 2x 50mm dynamic drivers (the Peerless by Tymphony HPD-50N25PR00-32-ND drivers are a good option) Thin fabric, cut to size (I used the inner part of some surplus ear pads) 0.8m of 15mm wide, 5mm thick adhesive backed closed cell foam, for the ear pads. 2x Mini XLR male socket connectors (TA4M, I'm using cheap ones but the proper ones are from Switchcraft. These require the holes for them to be drilled and tapped for a 7/16"x32 UNS thread), 2x Mini XLR female plug connectors (TA4FX) Split cable for the Sennheiser HD202 (ebay, cut off the 2.5mm jacks and replace with the Mini XLR connectors) Fixings: 8x M3 x 10mm Countersunk Hex A2 screws (used for the ali standoffs) 10x UNC 4-40 x 1/4" Socket Head Hex A2 Screws (used on the driver clamp) 10x UNC 4-40 x 3/16" Countersunk Hex A2 Screws (used on the mesh clamp) 4x UNC 4-40 x 5/16" Countersunk Hex A2 Screws (used to hold the conn mount) 4x UNC 4-40 x 5/8" Countersunk Hex A2 Screws (used in the fork pins) 8x UNC 6-32 x 1/2" Grub/Set Screws (used to hold the driver base into the outer ring) All holes should be drilled and tapped for the correct thread. The mini XLR 4 pin connectors are wired as: 1 - Left + 2 - Left - 3 - Right + 4 - Right - Remixes are encouraged. Please share any ideas you may have on this project with the community; by using the REMIX button on your upload. These CAD files were created with Solidworks. I hope you find my work of interest.
