Earcup pivot for Fostex T50RP

prusaprinters

<p>Fostex T50RP headphones are very tough, but one place many fail is where the adjustable headband mounts to the ear cups using a pivot. &nbsp;The metal headband rods can twist themselves loose from the pivot and the cup will fall off. &nbsp;Left in an un-repaired state, it's only a matter of time before the cable running through the headphone also fails.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>This is a direct replacement for the outer pivot piece that corrects this weak spot. &nbsp;The headband adjustment rods fit tightly into the redesigned pivot and are fixed in place by two M2x14 machine screws. &nbsp;The rods themselves have fairly loose tolerances; diameter and stamping dimensions vary by some amount. &nbsp;The expected fit ranges from exact to quite tight, but the pivot has fit the three pairs of T50RP headphones bought several years apart. &nbsp;FreeCAD source files are included if your pair requires adjustment.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Print the part standing up with supports under the two movement-limiting fingers. &nbsp;Prusament PETG recommended.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>(additional parts required per pivot: 2x M2x14mm machine screws)</p>
