Headphone / Audio Jack Extender (Under Desk or Wall Mount)

thingiverse

The audio jack on my PC is hard to reach so I made this extender which I mounted under my standing desk. It uses a cable strain relief boot that I printed in TPU, and I recommend using TPU for the cable boots. However, I did add an <strong>untested</strong> cable boot which can be printed in PLA or PETG (Audio_extension-1H-CABLE-SR-PLA-A.stl and Audio_extension-1H-CABLE-SR-PLA-B.stl). If you print the solid cable boot please provide some feedback. The cable this is designed for is linked below which runs about 8 bucks: <strong>MillSO 3.5mm Headphone Extension Cable</strong> Amazon Item "B07W7JQ673" (please copy and paste the item in the search field at Amazon, you can read why below) It was mounted with some #6 screws but I think #8 would work too. There are two versions of the "base", a plain one, and one with a headphone icon. I did not test the one with the headphone icon but can't see why it would not work (I printed the plain one). There is also a small cable management clip which can be mounted with some small screws. If you print one, please post a make. The STEP file is included for easy remixing. To print the cable boot, I used PRILINE TPU which is a less flexible TPU (but works well for this).

This was done as a small protest against the way Thingiverse edited my description, and installed their Amazon Affiliate links without notifying users that they were doing it. Sorry for the extra step of having to copy and paste the item numbers, but I believe they need to be clear with content creators about this. I did not originally post my own affiliate links here - they were "clean" Amazon links, but for some content creators here, the affiliate links are the only way they receive anything back for their work, and that avenue is now closed off.
