Description
I use an Oktava MK 012 run through a Zoom R4 for my microphone for meetings but had the issue that even with the Cardioid capsule, it would pick up a decent amount of ambient noise and the audio from my system speakers would cause audio cut-out during meetings.
Due to that I realized the best fix would be to cut off as much audio that wasn't coming from the front as possible and made this directional cone shield to do exactly that.
As long as you have good bed adhesion, the model stands on the clamp side when printing and the cone angle doesn't require any support material during the printing process.
My print was done in ASA on a Qidi X-MAX 3 and took about an hour with 20% infill. It requires two M3 screws (counter sunk style preferred but not required) and two M3 nuts.
