ScaldingCold Posted July 25, 2022 Report Share Posted July 25, 2022 I’ve been working on plans for a 3D Printed shockmount for the last year or so. I’ve used a couple of prototypes on a number of features, shorts, and commercials and I have been happy with the results. I wanted to ask the community about the general opinion of 3D printed audio components and any concerns that might exist. My current design is printed in a carbon fiber filled Nylon filament. The carbon fiber provides the rigidity needed to securely hold the mic with some light wind protection and the nylon provides flexibility and shock absorbency. The filament is very heat resistant and should be able to withstand being left in a hot car without any problem. I’ve used a Sanken CS-3E, Sennheiser MKH 416, and an Oktava Mk-012 and so far it has performed well on all three. I would love to know your thoughts!

Michael Render Posted July 26, 2022 Report Share Posted July 26, 2022 I would love to see some pictures. I have been doing a lot of 3D design and printing, but mostly cart parts. It is very satisfying to create your own custom designs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
