Ear pad attachment for Sennheiser HDR180

thingiverse

This is a replacement part for the wireless headphones Sennheiser HDR180 which are part of the wireless headphone system RS180. I managed to brake some of the hooks of the original part when I tried to remove the ear cushions for getting them washed. Obviously, the tiny hooks make this a tricky print. Also dimensional accuracy is of importance, so be prepared. I tried to print this with PETG, ASA, and GreenTEC filament, but ended up with standard PLA, which just seemed to provide the best stability. The other materials should be better when going by the numbers, but with this print it is all about good layer-to-layer bonding and PLA is possibly the most forgiving material when it comes to choosing the right printing temperature. Yes, I could have just bought replacement ear pads which usually come with these attachments, but I was curious whether I could make a self-printed part work. Besides, it is more fun than just buying it.
