Zoom H1n Recorder Shockmount (re-upload)

(Re-uploaded in December 2020 because Thingiverse wouldn't show previous upload in search results!) This is a reliable and simple shockmount for the Zoom H1n audio recorder (and probably other small handheld recorders too). Designed in OpenSCAD (source file included). Uses the Regular Convex Polygon library by VincentD: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:335968 __Goals:__ - Isolate handling noise as much as possible - Quick to attach to un-modified recorder, but reasonably secure - Headphone and mic jacks accessible - All buttons & knobs accessible, display not blocked - Compatible with foam windscreens - Mountable via standard 1/4" tripod screw (a collapsible mini tripod works great as a handle) - Sits flat on a table - Easy to print, lightweight but rigid __Required Parts:__ - Rubber bands. I used "Scunci" brand silicone hair bands from Rite Aid. (Approx 40mm diameter) - 1/4"-20 nut __Notes:__ - Print all parts and glue the arms to the base. I used CA glue and it holds fine. If you're worried about strength, drill some holes and screw it together. - Depending on your printer calibration, you may need to pound the nut into the base with a hammer. I did and it holds fine. - The STL contains the parts for one complete shockmount. The included OpenSCAD file makes it easy to remix or export each part individually. - The recorder fits better if you insert it as shown (hard to explain, but the side of each rubber band that faces the top of recorder should go behind it). - The volume rocker on the recorder rattles, which can make it sound like the shockmount isn't working! A small piece of gaff tape will stop it.
