Quad Headphone Stand

This stand helps keep my multiple pairs of headphones and headsets I have in my home office organized, accessible and safe from damage or me losing them. I'll admit that I do have a headphone addiction, but who doesn't? ;-).

While I could have used a separate stand for each pair, this helped organize my headphones in a simple design, and it saves space and keeps my headphones nearby for for ready use, and helps me organize my desk space.

Print instructions

Printer and Model Design

An i3 MK3S2 Model printer was used with the standard 0.4 mm brass nozzle. This was printed on a smooth flexible spring-steel sheet (Smooth double-sided PEI model).

The model was created on Fusion360 using imperial measurements as I misplaced my metric ruler on my disorganized desk.

Material and Print Details

This was printed in Prusament Galaxy Black PLA which looks really sleek and modern. No post processing was done as the layer lines are not that visible and add some definition to the print. Two separate print jobs (hence separate 3mf files) were configured to improve the likelihood of successful printing, since having 1 component fail would have ruined all the components.

5 perimeters were used for the base part of the stand and for the extension post to increase the strength, especially for the the threaded parts and weight bearing capacity. The infill was set to 20% and the overall print quality was set to 0.20 mm (Quality) setting in PrusaSlicer.

The overall print time was about 15 hours 20 minutes for the base component, and about 9 hours and 45 minutes for the extension post and top component of the stand.

Additional Suggested Supplies

• Rubber Feet:

To have the base not slide around on my desk surface, I made two insets on the bottom part of the base for laptop style rubber feet I purchased from Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07PMF88X5/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

• Weights:

Small cylindrical holes were left at the corners of the base to allow for weights to be added to give the base more stability and to help reduce the likelihood of tipping when removing a heavier set of of headphones. This is not a completely solved issue yet as more weight is needed and since PLA is very light. I tried a set of Pinewood Derby model tungsten weights from Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0832G7PNX/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o05_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1. These do add significant additional weight...about 2 ¼ additional ounces (about 64 grams).
