SilverStone Headphone Stand Design Contest

[Mapsle]

Have any of your heard back from MyMiniFactory about their design being approved or revoked?

I'm sure it will be at least a few weeks to months with the amount of models they will have to be printing concurrently.

Illuminati black magic

Actually lots of well placed triangles.

 

Got a tutorial?

Not really, it's just part of the learning curve.

nice design, now slightly redesign it for a wall mount

[Skiphix]

a "V" such as "v for vendetta" , or "vice" , or "village".  ehm no!

myminifactory seems to be down for maintenance

And..... Submitted, I will post some pics after the 8th.

simle / light / thin / low production cost / smart construction to support all headphones (even heavy ones) / easy to stack one on top of another / cable management / won't harm headband cushioning / different.        ........what else do you need?

you forgot "humble"

My first post on the LTT forums!

This is now submitted, however I don't know how well that Mini Factory website works as there was no obvious way to ensure your entry goes direct to that particular contest.

The design from start to finish was done on Autodesk Inventor and rendered in Autodesk Showcase, I've read a few people expressing an interest in learning 3D modelling so here's a shameless plug to my tutorial YouTube channel which has 50+ tutorials for Inventor.

Obviously that isn't training though!

Beautiful, my favourite design so far.

Beautiful, my favourite design so far.

Wow thanks! I honestly have no idea how it'll be viewed in general, I also finished it then found out about the 18cm x 18cm x 18cm size restriction which kinda screwed it up a bit! So I scaled it down, I've now got no idea if it'll even physically hold a headset but I imagine whoever's design gets picked as the winner will have the chance to mod it for production suitability.

Looks great.

How long until submissions close? It's not very clear as to when exactly that is.

Thanks.

Thanks.

It's today, but I'm not sure what time today or based on what time zone.  That for sure isn't clear.

All designs need to be submitted to MyMiniFactory before the submission deadline of June 8. Community voting on the top 10 designs will take place over the following two weeks

 

It´s generally kinda weird, as I haven´t heard from anyone that their design was rejected or approved...

 

PS: I really like your design - I hope it fits Silverstones requirements (had the same scaling issue as well wit 18^3)

Thanks man.  I'm not sure it will suit them due to the multiple textured finish, it looks a bit naff as a plain coloured STL model.

Once I realised their was a 18^3 restriction, I thought about modding the design so the arrows could detach and clip in, but this was last minute and I didn't have time to work on blending the fillets after splitting the solids.  So I just had to scale the entire thing down by 0.75.  If I had more time I would have probably worked on changing the holder to be inverted so that it follows the contour of the headphone band, but when you think you're not really going to win you have to wonder if it's worth ploughing even more time into it! I'm quite excited to see all the various entries though.

I know... I kept myself to 15 minute designs, to make sure I´m not spending too much time on something that´s just a chance. At least it was a fun challenge for me to do it in a speedrun - the quality had to suffer a bit tough.

 

Btw. I subscribed to your channel, seems quite nice - I will watch them whenever I will have to change away from ProEngineer Wildfire.

Here's a look at my design. I was bored enough that I also made an option where you can attach the wall mount to a desktop stand.

Thanks man, appreciate it.  I've trained up hundreds of ex Pro-E users onto Inventor and every one of them said Inventor was easier to use and all-round a better application, but of course that's all subjective and probably opinions influenced by where they were at the time.  I assume you're needing to use Pro-E for work?

Dariru, I like it, clean and clinical.  My only concern is the razor sharp edges and corners, don't forget this would be poking out from a wall potentially at eye height! Something like that could take a childs eye out or cause a bad injury if someone slipped and fell against it.  But it looks the business though!

Still a student, therefore no idea where I will end up program-wise in the future...

Ahhh I see, if you want to get into the Autodesk stuff, you might have been told already but as a student you get free Autodesk licenses direct from Autodesk.  They'll give you a license of any Autodesk software, fully enabled no restrictions.
