Headphone Stand - 3 Textures | H3C Desk Collection

A tall headphone stand that prints on small printers. It comes in 4 parts (base, lower mast, upper mast and an arched saddle arm), and none is taller than 130 mm. The parts push together with keyed square pegs, no glue or screws. Why it is different - 4 parts, all 130 mm or less: prints on an A1 mini, assembles to 272 mm.

- Push-fit square pegs with crush ribs: a firm press fit that doesn't wobble, can't twist, and comes apart for travel.

- Arched saddle arm (130 mm): a convex 85 mm radius that follows the inside of the headband, with rounded edges, so the band rests along its whole curve and keeps its shape.

- Heavy 112 mm square base keeps it steady with large over-ear headphones.

- Three textures, one family: DUNE (sand ripples), HIVE (hexagons that shrink toward the rim) and NINE (architectural flutes). The same look as the H3C Purge Bin.

- NINE TOOLS badge: an engraved emblem with nine dots for the nine PrintTools. Print it in one colour, or as a flush 2-colour inlay on the H3C.

- Seamless wrap: every texture is tuned so the pattern closes perfectly around the back, with no seam line.

- Support-free and plate-ready: overhangs are 45 degrees or less (plus a few short bridges), and every profile slices with no warnings.

What's included - 3MF profiles for DUNE, HIVE and NINE: H3C 2 colours (inlay) and 1 colour all printers

- STLs per texture: base, lower mast, upper mast and badge inlay; one arm for all textures

Size - Assembled: 112 x 112 x 272 mm

- Parts: base 112 x 112 x 38, 2 masts 36 x 32 x 130, arm 130 x 36 x 40 mm

- Weight: about 211-220 g PLA

How to use - Masts print upright with the socket on the bed. The arm prints on its side (already set). Both masts get a 5 mm brim.

- Press the lower mast onto the base peg, then the upper mast (badge to the front), then the arm.

- If your printer runs loose, add a drop of glue in one socket. If it runs tight, sand the ribs lightly.

Print settings - Material: PLA (Bambu PLA Basic). 0.4 mm nozzle, 0.20 mm layers, 3 walls, 15% infill, Textured PEI plate.

- No supports. Seam on the back.

- 2 colours: the inlay is a separate part already assigned to filament 2. The time includes the prime tower.

- The all-printers profile is built on the Bambu Lab A1 mini (180 mm), so it opens on any Bambu printer and fits small beds.

Files STLs in print orientation: <SKIN>_base.stl, <SKIN>_mast_lower.stl and <SKIN>_mast_upper.stl (the upper mast carries the engraved badge), plus Headphone_Stand_arm.stl, which is the same for every texture. <SKIN>_inlay.stl is the optional 2nd colour for the badge: load it together with the upper mast, answer Yes to 'load as a single object with multiple parts', then set the inlay to filament 2. The mast STLs are zipped (10-15 MB each unzipped). Print the masts upright with the socket down, and the arm on its side. The collection Part of the NINE TOOLS H3C Desk Collection: pen cup, desk bin, catch-all tray, cable dock + clips, phone stand, desk caddy and headphone stand, all in the same three textures.
