Description

PDF

Needed a shock mount for my Sennheiser MKH416, since none of the local stores had one in stock. Created this. Should work with all 19mm diameter Shotgun mics. Has a hirth coupling to allow pivoting the mic at 10 degree increments. 

I recommend printing the base and top out of something pretty rigid/strong like PC CF or PETG CF with decent infill/walls (50% cubic, 6 walls is what I used)

The suspension/shock mounting portion should be printed in normal PETG for its flexibility with ~5 walls and 100% infill.

Hardware:
- 2x M3x16mm screw
- 1x M5x20mm screw

Doesn't require exact length screws for it to work, that's just what I designed for.

Model origin

The author remixed this model.

Differences of the remix compared to the original

reused this as the suspension in my shock mount. thickened the center to work with 19mm diameter mics.
