I love my Sony WH-1000XM5, and have worn it extensively for hours on end.  But after a while…

 

…the headband starts to hurt!

 

When I stumbled upon Capra-Audio's amazing comfort straps, I was knew I found the solution! Capra's models are ingenious! But sadly there's no strap for the XM5, so I came up with my own using TPU laces to secure it to most headphones.  It's a simple and quick print in TPU95, I hope you enjoy it as much as I do! 

 

No more pain!

 

Printing instructions (read carefully)

  1. set bottom and top solid layers to 0 (in the Layers and perimeters screen)
  2. use any infill type and percentage you prefer
  3. split the models into parts (by clicking on the icon on the top of the screen with the P)  
  4. set the infill density of part 1 and 3 to 100%
  5. print with TPU-95A

Assembly instructions

Use the last photo as a reference

  1. cut a piece of ~10cm 1.75mm TPU filament
  2. weave the filament through hole 1-3 as in the photo
  3. loop the filament around the headband
  4. weave the filament through hole 4-6 as in the photo
  5. pull tight carefully on either or both ends
  6. cut the filament to length

 

The strap is inherently adjustable in length, but let me know if you need a different length or width!
