Logitech G230 / G430 Headphones ear cup modification

thingiverse

I have "Elf Ears" as my dad calls them. So finding a pair of headphones that fit without squashing my ears is difficult. I bought some Logitech headphones to see if they would be big enough. They weren't, so instead of taking them back to the shop and trying other ones, I decided to make a mod. So this happened. How I Designed This How the design came about: I first scanned the headphones on a flatbed scanner :P (Im surprised at the result being as accurate as it is) Then I went into GIMP and started taking out all the background until all I was left with was the outline and screw holes for the cups. Then I went into Inkscape and did a bitmap trace to get an SVG, neatened it up a bit and exported as SVG. I imported the SVG into Blender and started extruding the parts and shrinking down layers and extruding some more until I got the finished product. (TIP: I found that from an Inkscape to Blender trnasfer - you need to scale the SVG 1004 times in each direction) Not perfect, but good enough for printing. Made a duplicate, mirrored the one side on the x-axis (Ctrl + M, then X for x-axis mirror) and exported as STL Files, one for each side, printed them out and BAM! Headphones that fit my Elf ears.
