So, has 3d printing come to the point yet where we can design and create entire shock mounted and wind protection rigs with various multi mic configurations?
I saw a thread a while back that had a person custom 3D printing various mic clips, and it seems like the next step would be to modify the designs that Rycote and Cinela put out to adapt to some more esoteric or compact designs that incorporate both wind protection AND shockmounting.
I'm thinking of things like
ORTF mounts for longer mics that have shock mounting built in and enough room for cables to attach internally
quad rigs
rigs with attachment ports for TWO mic stands that can support heavier mics
collapsible rigs (rigs that fold down flat and then pop back out into boxes or other shapes)
rycote ball gag competitors
dual MS rigs
etc.
The tricky part for all of that stuff tends to be the physical construction of the cage. Once that's designed and produced, its just a matter of wrapping it in an appropriate fabric and implementing the rubber bands for the shock mount.
Seems doable. right?
