DIY Ribbon Microphone STL for 3D Printing

The download ZIP folder contains the following STL files, for 3D printing the basic ribbon microphone components, ribbon corrugator and transformer bobbin winder:

1. Microphone body
2. Body cap
3. Transducer (a.k.a ribbon motor) variations:
   – recommended: 38.3mm X 12mm gap (for BX842 magnets)
   – thick: 38.3mm X 18.4mm gap (for BX844 magnets)
   – long: 50.9mm X 12mm gap (for BY042 magnets)
4. Transducer clamp
   – 12mm gap
   – 18.4mm gap
5. Clamp bolt
6. Bolt nut
7. Pop filter solid block – for desired infill and pattern slicing (recommended: 40% infill / grid pattern).
8. Bobbin/winder – for diy transformer, using these amorphous core toroids.
9. Corrugator base
10. Corrugator gear

Recommended Print Settings:

• Supports: No.
• Ribbon motor | corrugtor gears | nuts | bolts – 0.12 mm layer height.
• Mic body | cap | corrugator base | transformer bobbin – 0.16mm layer height.
• Mic body – print upside down, on a raft, with the Z-seam on a side (left or right).
• Pop filters – use the solid block slicing technique described in the video, increase the thickness (Z-axis scale) in the slicer to print 3 layers at 0.16mm layer height.
