Title: 3D-printable mounting bases for Rycote and Radius shockmounts
Post by: voltronic on April 18, 2025, 04:31:08 PM

Partially inspired by Norfolksoundman on GS Remote, I recently took the plunge into 3D printing. The first thing I have designed are these small mounting bases which fit Rycote Lyres and Radius Hoops.

I made 3 versions:

• Single-pocket for very light mics such as Line Audio or active capsules
• Triple-pocket with outer pocket centers 25 mm apart (same as Radius RAD mounts)
• Triple-pocket with outer pocket centers 45 mm apart (same as Rycote INV-6)

Indexing marks along the bottom for easy angle alignment:

• Tallest marks are at 0, 90, 180, 270 deg.
• Second-tallest are 45 deg rotated from tallest marks
• Shortest are 10 deg rotated from their immediate neighbor (convenient for 20 deg angle omnis, 110 deg ORTF cardioid, etc.)
