Headset Stand (With Pocket for USB)

Design Project Applied.jpg

I have had this headset since it was released in 2020. Since then, I have always kept it stored in a drawer and the USB that comes with it just on the side where I know where it is. But more often than not, I would end up losing or misplacing the USB for the headset, thus making it impossible to use on the computer when I need it. And I felt bad for my headset just sitting in a drawer collecting dust when I'm not using it instead of being displayed for all to see. Then I decided to make a wall mount for my headset so it could be neatly displayed and make my room a little more organized. This also gave me the idea to design a pocket built with the mount to fit my USB inside so everything was conveniently displayed and easy to access when I need to use them and not worry about anything getting lost.


NOTE:

(This Wall mount is allocated for all wireless headsets, whether they have a USB included with them or not. It also works with wired headsets, but there is no accommodation for the wires connected.)

Supplies

Command Strip View

Printing and Software:

  • PLA 3D Printer Filament (1.75mm)
  • 3D printer
  • Design Software (TinkterCAD was used to make this product)
  • Ultramaker Cura

Household Items:

  • Command Strips (Poster hanging/ Picture Velcro strips recommended)
  • Ruler of any kind

Sketching the Plans

To start off the project, I used a ruler to get the height and width of the headset to plan out how big the actual mount was going to be. Next, I measured the dimensions of the USB to get the dimensions for the USB pocket as well. I ended up increasing the size of the pocket by just a fourth of an inch in total to give some wiggle room, and halved the size of the pocket with respect to the USB so it is easy to put in and take out of the USB pocket itself.

Designing the Mount

Create the 3D model of the Mount based off the sketches drawn. You can use any 3D Modeling software you choose, but for this product I used TinkerCAD. Once the modeling process is done, Download the Mount and Pocket separately as an stl. file in order to print it on Ultimaker Cura for 3D Printing.

Printing the Mount and USB Pocket

After getting the design to your satisfaction, make some final adjustments to suit your needs in Ultimaker Cura before printing. The best recommended settings would be setting the size to 127% (for an average headset) for both the pocket and the headset, and setting the Infill of just the mount to 90% for max strength so it can hold your headset without being overloaded with stress. The infill of the USB pocket can be whatever you please.

Attaching the USB Pocket and Command Strips

The final step is to use a small set of command strips to adhere the USB Pocket to the center of the Headset Mount, and placing a long Velcro command strip on the back of the product so that you can easily attach and de-attach the mount from the wall. Once the Pocket is firmly attached to the mount, find a good spot to place your Headset Mount on a wall with a flat surface, make sure the Velcro fully latches onto itself, you are good to go!
