Headphone stand
A cantilevered stand with a yoke radius matched to your headband, so the padding keeps its shape instead of creasing over a thin hook.

Buildable as specified
- Post into base needs a secondary operation
H7/g6 at Ø18 mm asks for a tolerance the as-moulded process does not hold. Cantilevered load: any slop here becomes visible lean at the yoke.
→ Specify reaming or facing after the primary operation, and state it on the drawing.
- Speed is most of what you are paying for
Air freight is €23.55 of a €43.52 landed cost — 54% of it. This part is heavy enough that flying it costs more than making it.
→ The same configuration by sea takes about 38 working days and cuts the freight to roughly a fiftieth.
- The moulded version carries draft the printed one does not
Yoke prints without draft on the express lane, but injection molding needs 1° on every face parallel to the pull. Over a 90 mm wall that moves the surface by about 1.6 mm.
→ If the two must be interchangeable, design with draft from the start and accept it on the printed part too.

What is fixed, and what is yours
The parameters above move; the components do not. Every unit uses the same released bill of materials, from the same certified suppliers, because changing the electronics means repeating the certification — expensive, slow, and invisible to you. The freedom is in the geometry, which is the part you actually see and touch.
The parts that do not change — turned base — are made in volume and held in stock, so their tooling is spread over every configuration we sell and their lead time is zero. post and yoke are made for your order by cut to length from stock. That split is the whole reason this can arrive in 8 working days instead of six weeks.
