WALI Mic Boom Plug
Description
PDFI use the WALI mounting system to hold up VESA monitors and other items attached to the main mounting post. In this case I have a large microphone used for voice overs and streaming and it's attached to a typical "lamp arm" style of mount with a desk clamp on one end. I wanted to remove the arm from that clamp and just insert it into the top of the main WALI support post and to do that I needed an adapter.
Normally there's a plastic "plug" that fits in the end of the WALI support pipe; this adapter replaces that. You'll notice it had a notch out of one side; that's to accommodate a weld that runs down the inside of the WALI pipe.
My mic boom has a 13mm wide pin that normally goes into the desk clamp and so my adapter plug has a 13mm wide hole in the middle where the boom pin is inserted. This works fantastically well - there is more than enough structural support given a dense print with strong walls and the boom moves easily side to side as needed.
I printed this in PETG but I see no reason that PLA wouldn't work just as well.

Notes:
I sliced this in CURA with a wall thickness set to 3, 60% infill and using the Gyroid fill pattern with the Connect Infill Lines option turned on for additional strength.
Note again that the inside hole for the mic boom mounting pin is 13mm wide. It would be easy enough to make this hole larger or smaller in TinkerCAD [or your favorite tool] to meet your needs if they're different.Tags
