Universal Headphone Stand

thingiverse

This clever, uncomplicated headphone holder design will work wonders for gamers or anyone frequently using headphones at home and so on. The headphone holder options should provide a solution that fits (almost) any pair of headphones. They rely on the tension between the sides plus small lugs that extend 10mm into the earpiece to hold them securely in place, making the design extremely simple and an uncomplicated print. If you're looking for somewhere to put your frequently used headphones, this stand could be just what you need... There are five options to choose from: Standard - The 'Standard' version should fit almost all types of headphones. The earpieces will sit 75mm apart with this option. Tall - The 'Tall Retainer' version is about 30mm taller than the 'Standard' version (but the same width) and includes a small fitting for directing a cable. This type should be printed for headphones with the cable exiting from underneath and you want to be able to leave the cable plugged in for charging while on the stand (i.e. Noise cancelling types etc.). Medium - Probably the least common version. The earpieces will sit 100mm apart with this option (so they need to measure less than that when not under any tension... as tension is required to hold them securely in place). Wide - The 'Wide' version is made for sets of headphones that have a fairly solid/rigid top band that fixes the width (i.e. Not a flexible springy top band as used on many headphones). The extra width is necessary for this type of headphones as the earpieces don't come close enough together to use the standard type. The earpieces will sit 75mm apart with this option. Wide Tall - As per the wide version above but 30mm taller for people needing the extra width but also to allow for the cable entry from underneath. A super simple, really easy... and very effective solution to store regularly used headphones. And, when well mounted, the headphones top band acts as a carry handle for the headphones and the stand together. Print the best file for yourself but also great a gift for your friends / brother etc. If you print this, please post images of your headphone stands in use for others to see... Please refer to the print settings and images for additional information that will help ensure a great result (Greater than standard shells and infill required).

Print Settings Printer Brand: MakerBot Printer: MakerBot Replicator+ Rafts: Doesn't Matter Supports: No Resolution: Standard / 0.20mm Infill: PLA / 30% or more / 3 Shells recommended Notes: Easy print... but use greater than standard infill and shells to add strength to the print and increase tension on the headphones (i.e. affects flexibility when headphones are placed onto the stand) Do not scale up or down otherwise your headphones may not fit correctly and stay securely in place. Post-Printing Mount your headphones... This is a simple stand so (after removing the raft if used) it will be ready to use straight off the build plate.
