We found ourselves with a pair of broken Shure antennas. The holder with a microphone stand thread was gone and with no chance of gluing it back together for intense road use. I then came up with the obvious solution: use my printer.
This is a new holder for the Shure UA870 antenna. I used an Audio-Technica microphone holder bottom part because we have a lot of spare ones, but any other should do.
The replacement mount slides easily, with no need to sand the broken part or exposed fiberglass. After being put in place, markings for the 2 holes for the screws can be made.The replacement in the pictures was printed Elegoo Water-washable black Resin on a Mars2 Pro printer. So it's a solid object.Specs:
- 2x 3mm holes for the screws. I used black m3 screws.
- 2x sockets for the screws heads.
- 2x sockets for 2x m3 nuts, with 5.4mm in diameter (if its too tight you can always use a small file).
- 1x 7mm hole for the mounting part. This fit perfectly on the Audio-Technica part, It wasn't tested with other brands, but resin is easy to work on with drills...and patience.
Happy fixing!
