Denon DN-HP1000 Swivel

thingiverse

My beloved headphones first developed a crack in their left swivel about a year ago. The crazy glue held up for some time, but ultimately they blew apart when I was out for a run (yes, I ran with these giant headphones on). As I looked frantically for shards of headphone in the bushes, i thought "Wait a minute, I can just print a new one!" This particular part ended up being much more complicated than I'd anticipated. It holds everything together on the left side and the build logic that Denon designed is impressive (and frustrating). It also includes features that limit rotation in two axes. I recommend partially disassembling the other side for reference. Instructions Printed using PLA, 100 micron layer height using a 0.4mm nozzel, Robo3D R1. I left the articulation ring open so it can be assembled without taking apart the lower arm that connects to the Left driver. I recommend partially dissassembling the other side to get a feel how this thing goes together. To remove the existing, mangled part: Materials: Needle-nose pliers, soldering iron, tweezers, can-do attitude. Disassembly: 1) Unscrew the rectangular clamshell enclosure parts, as well as the part in question. 2) You'll have to de-solder the wires that goes to the right driver. 3) Remove the C-clip that holds the brass tube and washer in place. 4) Slide the wires out through the tube 5) slide the tube through the damaged part. Note: depending on the level of failure of your part, you may have to remove the retention spring first. 6) install part, do everything in reverse order for re-assembly. Make sure the retention spring is in correctly! see other side of headphones for reverence. I'd be really surprised and thrilled if this part ever gets used by anyone. Please post pics if you do.
