WALI Mic Boom Plug

prusaprinters

<p>I use the WALI mounting system to hold up VESA monitors and other items attached to the main mounting post. In this case I have a large microphone used for voice overs and streaming and it's attached to a typical "lamp arm" style of mount with a desk clamp on one end. I wanted to remove the arm from that clamp and just insert it into the top of the main WALI support post and to do that I needed an adapter.</p> <p>Normally there's a plastic "plug" that fits in the end of the WALI support pipe; this adapter replaces that. You'll notice it had a notch out of one side; that's to accommodate a weld that runs down the inside of the WALI pipe.</p> <p>My mic boom has a 13mm wide pin that normally goes into the desk clamp and so my adapter plug has a 13mm wide hole in the middle where the boom pin is inserted. This works fantastically well - there is more than enough structural support given a dense print with strong walls and the boom moves easily side to side as needed.</p> <p>I printed this in PETG but I see no reason that PLA wouldn't work just as well.</p> <h3>Print Settings</h3> <p><strong>Printer Brand:</strong></p> <p>Creality</p> <p class="detail-setting printer"><strong>Printer: </strong> <div><p>Ender 5</p></div> <p><strong>Rafts:</strong></p> <p>No</p> <p class="detail-setting supports"><strong>Supports: </strong> <div><p>No</p></div> <p><strong>Resolution:</strong></p> <p>.2</p> <p class="detail-setting infill"><strong>Infill: </strong> <div><p>60</p></div> <p><strong>Filament:</strong> Sunlu PETG Black</p> <p><br/> <p class="detail-setting notes"><strong>Notes: </strong></p> </p><div><p>I sliced this in CURA with a wall thickness set to 3, 60% infill and using the Gyroid fill pattern with the Connect Infill Lines option turned on for additional strength.</p> Note again that the inside hole for the mic boom mounting pin is 13mm wide. It would be easy enough to make this hole larger or smaller in TinkerCAD [or your favorite tool] to meet your needs if they're different. </div></p></p></p> Category: Audio
