Headphones Stand "Mighty Duck"

thingiverse

Headphones stand, code name "Mighty Duck", with optional parts depending on the use case and/or aesthetic preference, designed to be printed with color (filament) change for that added flare. STEP files are included for convenience. STL files were sliced and checked with Prusa Slic3r. Any constructive feedback is welcomed. --- <h3>Optional parts</h3> --- <h3>Headphones Mount Variants</h3> * <b>Headphones Mount A (Vertical Logo)</b> The logo is positioned on a vertical surface so it avoids the post processing required in version B. Smaller logo, visible when the headphones are on. * <b>Headphones Mount B (Horizontal Logo)</b> The logo is positioned horizontaly which means there will be more retractions (end of extrusion) artifacts present on the surface the headphones will lay on. While not a terrible issue, it will require some post processing to make the surface smooth to avoid, as an example, cloth headbands getting damaged. Bigger logo, not visible when the headphones are on. <h3>Brace Variants</h3> * <b>Brace A</b> Minimalist version of the brace for those that do not need the hook to manage cables. * <b>Brace B (Hook)</b> Brace has a hook so one can manage the headphones cables around it. Has a fairly sized opening for connectors to pass through. The frame cutouts can be used if the brace opening is too small for your type of connector. * <b>Brace C (Hook)</b> Brace has a hook that is elevated to protrude a bit more outside the frame (compared to ver.B) and has an opening that will allow most common connectors to pass through. The frame cutouts will always be an alternative. <h3>Foot Variants</h3> * <b>Foot A</b> Two part design of the foot. Foot A is to be printed from a rigid plastic (PETG, PLA) while the Foot Pad should be from a flexible material like TPU. I mostly opted for this design because I couldn't source the proper color to print version B fully out of TPU and match the rest of the stand. This way, Foot A can match the rest of the printed parts, while the TPU Foot Pad is barely visible * <b>Foot B</b> Version of the Foot designed to be either fully printed out of TPU or if you don't have TPU (flexibles), it can be printed out of PETG or PLA and you can add a anti slip pad underneath (compatible with =<3cm round pads) <h3>Base Variants</h3> * <b>Base A</b> Variant of the base that will suit most use cases out there. It is a tripod that is fairly stable, even more so with the headphones on. It's more stylish from the two versions (imho) and it was my choice for my stand. * <b>Base B</b> Variant of the base that adds more stability at the cost of using more plastic to print, covers slightly larger area and requires extra set of parts for an additional foot. Personally I didn't find the need for this design, as the tripod is stable enough for my needs, but the option is there for those that want to opt for it. --- For those wondering, I consider the following configuration as "default" offering of the design. Base A, Foot A, Brace B, Mount B.
