Astro A50 Headphone Strap

thingiverse

This is a headphone strap I made for my Astro A50, I have printed out the low poly version and it does fit fine, yet to test the Smooth one but it should be good. This was made in Blender and TinkerCad, from here on in if you want to mod it then you will need to import into Blender, trust me this is actually easier then messing with the original in TinkerCad which had 50 primitives grouped! ADJUSTING: If you wish to make it so the straps looser over your head then use a heatgun and carefully soften the ABS (or similar) plastic and pull it to desired width(don't overdo it), this is easier to do then making many different versions for different head sizes. (Assuming you like your headphones to be gentle on your head) Note: Be careful with heatgun to soften and stretch the strap (if you do that) as I accidentally melted the middle headrest part a bit (still worked thought). Perhaps do it without that part in the middle first! (silly me) This isn't a perfect design but does the job and is similar to original, the area where the ring slides in is a bit larger but doesn't appear to cause any issues. The ring should slide into the headphone screw in section without issue, just use suitable large/wide thread screws to tighten the plastic in, no need to use metal inserts really. PS. If anyone finds something better let me know, really wish companies would share the object files for parts like this, since you can't buy replacements from what I can see. PS2. And if someone has a HIGH DEF 3D Scanner then THAT would be the best way to get a really good object file, might be able to do that myself one day, but until then this is what you get... Print Settings Printer: Ecubmaker Fantasy Rafts: No Supports: Yes Resolution: 200 Microns Infill: %100 Notes: I used a Skirt/Brim of around 8 to help hold the strap to bed during printing. You could also use a small raft, this is a relatively printer friendly design.
