IKEA Helmer Headset Holder Remix

thingiverse

I remixed this with supports and it printed and works just fine, as photographed. And I thought, it's a little tricky screwing the Ikea bolt into the plastic - it's hard to get started and requires a lot of turning force with all of the plastic it's now biting into. It would be better if it had a screw thread. So I remixed my remix (see 2nd STL) and added threads only on the first part of the mounting hole. I'm not testing the threaded version (printing 2 of these is enough), so I left the second part of the hole smooth from the original to retain the same strength. If you print the threaded version, please comment and let us know how it goes. Hopefully getting the bolt screwed in will be easy. Photos: The first (with plain black headphones) is this remake. The other pic (with the razer headphones) is of the original design and shows the gaps where the hanger mounts to the Helmer drawer.
