Description
This microphone shock mount is designed such that the microphone (which is fixed to the frame at the bottom) is only connected to the microphone arm through the sprung shape at the top. This shape is derived from the design of the face masks being 3D printed to combat the Covid-19 crisis. These face masks bend to fit the user's face and, in this case, with 3 combined together, they act as a spring to dampen any vibrations. When recording, this dissipates vibration through the sprung system if you accidentally knock the table, making it less audible on the audio with much reduced background noise. The whole system is mounted to the arm using a standard fixing on all microphone mounts.
This project was used to test and demonstrate the concept of horizon modelling as part of the design challenge set by Paul Sohi on the Autodesk Ambassador Hub. Horizon modelling uses the tangent settings on the patch tool to create a perfectly smooth surface on a complex curved object. Horizon modelling was used to create the curved joint between each of the frame arms along the bottom row of the microphone frame.
The entire mount was designed to be 3D printed from the start. It is printed in 3 separate pieces; The frame, the spring and the fixed mounting ring. The central section is thin enough that it is reasonably flexible, giving the system its springiness. The frame is designed to be adjusted for differing sized microphones and therefore can fit a large variety of microphone shapes and sizes with minimal adjustment needed.
