Microphone Shock Mount

Microphone Shock Mount

Simple microphone shock mount – should fit any mic meant to be held by the ubiquitous clip style holder. The ring portion should be a drop-in replacement for the clip on most mount adapters.
If your microphone is not overly large, this should work fine printed in PLA, but a semi-flexible filament such as PETG, ABS, or nylon would greatly improve longevity.

Print Settings

Printer brand: Creality
Printer: Ender 3
Rafts: No
Supports: No
Resolution: 0.2
Infill: 20
Filament brand: Taulmann
Filament material: Nylon 230

Notes:

Would use at least 3 perimeters, though depending on the flexibility of your filament, you may want to experiment with increasing this further to improve strength. Parts are thin enough that Infill is not that important, though a pattern like gyroid might be more forgiving when bending (compared with triangles, for instance). A small brim for the actual mic mount portion will help with adhesion and to help the outside portion of the “tabs” from being knocked over before they connect to the main body.

I used Nylon 230, a low-temperature nylon that prints on my standard Bowden printer. At least as of the time of this posting, I have not seen a whole lot of information on this material, but it prints nicely (aside from really annoying bed adhesion issues) and resulted in a very tough yet flexible part. I increased to 5 perimeters to increase stiffness. PETG would likely work just as well.

Shock Cords

I used large elastic hair ties (diameter approximately 3 mm) for the shock cords, though any type of elastic material will work. You also have many options for stringing – as long as you end up with something resembling the picture below, the mount should work. In my case, I used 2 hair ties (one looped around the tabs from the top, the other from the bottom) – using 4 was too loose, though of course this will depend on the size of the ties.
