Stronger, Improved Wall Mount for Rode PSA1 boom

Stronger, Improved Wall Mount for Rode PSA1 boom

After using an existing model from Makerworld (credit below) I found it was not strong enough, actually falling off my wall eventually and damaging the wall in the process due to the weight of a high quality and heavy Rode microphone in conjunction with the Rode PSA1 mic boom.  Determined to fix this, I set out to remix and redesign and improve it for my use but also created additional options and updates for others use - see below for remix improvements.

Remix improvements

1. Stronger fillet with a better radius at top curve to remove point of weakness.
2. Thicker base option to increase mass and reduce weakpoints as an extra option.
3. Multiple options of fillet design for user choice in addition to 1 & 2 options.
4. Additional spacer option for user choice to assist in wall mounting, compatible with original design.

Print and Install Recommendations

• Print with a strong material, recommend PLA-Tough or PetG, but PLA can be used with caution for heavy setups.
• Print with at least  5 walls and at least  40%+ infill, using a strong infill type, I utilised Adaptive Cubic at 60% for good measure.
• Post process to ensure all screw holes and central void for PSA 1 shaft is clear of any print support or debris.
• Secure to your wall using a stud point, or strong wall anchors if using a heavy mic and boom setup.
