Boomphones phantom headphone part

thingiverse

Boomphones feel well built but unfortunately like any good headphones they have their weak spots and do break. Replacement parts don't exist and glue wont stick it. The part that breaks on these are the 1.5mm wall on the tube connecting the head band to its speaker. This replacement part isn't a direct replica of the original but a quick and dirty modified version “to allow the cable to be placed rather than having to de-solder / resolder and thread through” (yes, its lazy and makes them weaker but its convenient) the throat wall has been thickened to compensate and the twist stop on this throat has been widened and reinforced with a metal pin (you can use a small nail or wire) . I printed mine in PLA it seems ok. My aim was to quickly repair these for a friend so you may need to fillet the edges in CAD but I like to use sand paper. I created this part in FreeCAD and include the STL and original file so it should be easy to modify / improve as you like.
