What:
This print aims to reuse your discarded Yeti mic stand into a sleek phone stand for video calling and media consumption. It offers a tasteful yet subtle desk option. There are two versions in this repository.
- The first is mounted to stand high and vertical. Use this version if you are using your phone as a video communication purpose as I found this version to be the perfect height.
- The seconded version is a low profile low CG aimed to provide a more subtle less pronounced version. I found this one is best for media consumption.
Why:
Like Patrick I found the old stand ,for the yeti mics, useful for a recycling project, and after some research I found Patrick's model. I decided it could use some improvements such as the elimination of the fastening hardware. After some initial testing with the stands included lugs, I found that they can handle a lot of force when combined with printed internal threads. This also gave me an excuse to try threads in Onshape as I am still trailing the program to switch to full time.
How:
Here is the Onshape CAD files link
To design this I looked at my reference and inspiration: the Convert Yeti X Blue microphone stand into pad reading support. by Patrick Sun
After a quick glance I grabbed my phone and held it up to the stand to see if there was a easy way to mount it. After measuring the stands lugs, I saw that there was plenty of thread engagement to use as a axle and pivot point. This allowed one of the project main goals of not using any external fastening hardware. I then started to make my variable table that I knew I would need so others can use the CAD files. Then after, I started to make the main plate and chose arbitrary values for it. I then made the bottom “axle box” that interfaced with the lugs to form a strong pivot point. Lastly, I added holes and used the “ThreadCreator” script to generate ISO threads with a 1mm pitch. This was the first threads I've made in Onshape. I followed this guide on YouTube by TEACH PRODUCT DESIGN to learn how to. The variable table will be explained at the bottom of the description.
