X-Box Wireless Headset Repair Kit

X Box Wireless Headset Repair Kit

Dependent upon what you need to fix, mix and match the items in this kit.

In my case, the side cup fell off a while back and my son just lived with it until he came to me having snapped the entire earcup from the headband.

I tried to repair it with JB Weld but holding it in place to set was next to impossible. The solution was to print a band to hold it all together. I could then use JB Weld which should hold forever.

Whilst this was all setting, it occurred to me that I could print an earcup cover and small lever to control the volume. Hence the rest of the kit was born. With the ear cup cover being a friction fit over the band I already made to hold everything together.

If you just want to repair a broken ear-cup, you won’t need the band but you will need to play around with the dimensions of the cover in your slicer. Similarly with the repair/glue band, you’ll need a few tweaks and test prints to get the size right. The range should be an internal diameter of 71-74mm.

The lever is just a push fit on the volume control, and it’s then held in place by the earcup.

I opted for a fixed earcup because it's a volume knob for goodness sakes! Making it a weak point just so it's cool was a design error in my view. These things fall off pretty much without fail for everyone eventually. So, my fixed version should prevent a similar issue in the future.

All in all, this is one of my favourite fixes to date!

I assume this will also work for the right hand cup if required.

Printing – nothing special, just bog standard settings, PLA.
