Lucas Posted May 17, 2022 Report Share Posted May 17, 2022 Dear All, I'm an avid user of Ursa Foamies. Since they often have a short lifespan, I made a small shield to protect them from all the tape abuse. Also it works very well in thicker fabrics and jackets and it gives a fair bit of isolation.

boomhead Posted May 18, 2022 Report Share Posted May 18, 2022 Doesn't that defeat the purpose/usefulness of the foam? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt Radlauer Posted May 19, 2022 Report Share Posted May 19, 2022 I think it gives you another way to use the foam.. Not limiting at all IMO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lucas Posted May 19, 2022 Author Report Share Posted May 19, 2022 With the shield the foam becomes like a shockmount. Also you can put a windcover over the opening on top. If anybody is interested to try it out, send me a PM for a stl print file. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soundwil Posted May 19, 2022 Report Share Posted May 19, 2022 Although it is starting to look a bit bulky, I do like the windcover potential, and the distancing of mic head from clothing. Looks like it could be a useful tool in certain situations. Damn! I need to get myself a 3D printer! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lucas Posted May 20, 2022 Author Report Share Posted May 20, 2022 I might as well post the file here. My recommendation is to smoothen the surface after printing. Also insert mic (Cos-11) into Foamie first and after that slide it in the cover. Curious to hear your impressions after testing. all the best, Lucas foamy v3_dik.stl Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
osa Posted July 1, 2022 Report Share Posted July 1, 2022 I went for it and had A friend of mine print me a bunch and for my personal workflow these are absolutely perfect! They are not for every Mike placement but definitely another tool to deploy when needed. I had great success with collared button up shirts and polos using these. In the past I used to use a combo of make up sponge moleskin and toupee tape for starchy shirt applications to create this same idea and as I had suspected these are a third of the size. I used these with DPA 6060s And the mike stays tightly suspended and fully shock absorbed inside with much less transference vs ursa mounts alone. I use a single piece of toupee tape for the slimmest footprint for its size but can definitely be used with moleskin as needed. This was my first attempt at 3-D printing gadgetry and I really appreciate you posting the file it worked perfect for him to print from.

Lucas Posted July 1, 2022 Author Report Share Posted July 1, 2022 Hi Osa, It is good to see some prints finding their way into the field. Also nice to hear that you have had a good first impression. Hopefully this combo will help you in many scenario's to come! I might do a smaller version for the mini foamies at some point, I'll post them here when it's done.

Wandering Ear Posted July 16, 2022 Report Share Posted July 16, 2022 I usually put a layer of micropore on the outside of my foams to protect them from the tape. This is an interesting idea I'm interested in trying out. Thanks for sharing the file! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phillip C Dent Posted November 30, 2022 Report Share Posted November 30, 2022 Thanks for the stl file Lucas. I got some printed up on 2 different printers. I was curious if there would be a quality difference. Do you have an stl fine for the mini-foamies? I’d like to add those to my arsenal as well thanks again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
