WALI Mic Boom Plug

thingiverse

I utilize the WALI mounting system to secure VESA monitors and other items attached to the main mounting post. In this instance, I have a large microphone used for voice overs and streaming attached to a standard "lamp arm" style of mount with a desk clamp on one end. To eliminate the arm from that clamp and insert it directly into the top of the main WALI support post, I required an adapter. Ordinarily, there's a plastic "plug" that fits into the end of the WALI support pipe; this adapter replaces it. You'll notice it features a notch on one side to accommodate a weld that runs along the inside of the WALI pipe. My mic boom has a 13mm wide pin that typically goes into the desk clamp, so my adapter plug contains a 13mm wide hole in the middle where the boom pin is inserted. This setup works fantastically well - there's more than sufficient structural support provided by a dense print with strong walls, and the boom moves easily side to side as needed. I printed this adapter in PETG, but I see no reason why PLA wouldn't work just as effectively.
