1 00:00:00,440 --> 00:00:08,880 so after all these weeks I finally have a package that is to say a package in 2 00:00:06,560 --> 00:00:14,599 the mail with a whole bunch of really cool stuff in it what's that lonus 3 00:00:10,880 --> 00:00:19,199 bubble wrap no this is my followup for 4 00:00:14,599 --> 00:00:24,000 the Silverstone design a new headphone 5 00:00:19,199 --> 00:00:25,720 stand for lonus competition so I have I 6 00:00:24,000 --> 00:00:31,759 believe it is 13 3D printed headphone stands designs 7 00:00:30,000 --> 00:00:37,960 from members of the lonus tech tips Community to try out today and declare a 8 00:00:35,000 --> 00:00:44,520 winner that Silverstone will be using their manufacturing prowess to turn into 9 00:00:40,520 --> 00:00:46,760 a finished product of this quality so uh 10 00:00:44,520 --> 00:00:49,399 I am really looking forward to this let's see how it 11 00:00:57,399 --> 00:01:04,479 goes so you guys probably know cable mod cables we featured them in a lot of our 12 00:01:01,800 --> 00:01:08,720 build guides and build logs well hey now they have support for Corsair RMI and 13 00:01:06,720 --> 00:01:12,520 rmx series power supplies check out the link in the video description to check 14 00:01:10,360 --> 00:01:12,520 that 15 00:01:15,000 --> 00:01:20,079 out oo that one's cool so while I'm 16 00:01:18,400 --> 00:01:25,439 finishing unwrapping these I'll give you guys a little bit of the uh history of 17 00:01:22,920 --> 00:01:30,840 the Journey of how these 3D printed headphone stands got to be here we 18 00:01:27,880 --> 00:01:35,840 received literally hundreds of submissions and I'm talking even if you 19 00:01:33,119 --> 00:01:41,000 exclude the penis shaped ones for this design contest some of which were 20 00:01:38,320 --> 00:01:46,119 excellent some of which were not as excellent but the ones that you see here 21 00:01:43,240 --> 00:01:50,360 before you are the cream of the crop so my mini Factory that's actually their 22 00:01:48,079 --> 00:01:55,119 contribution to this whole thing 3D printed every single design that was 23 00:01:52,640 --> 00:02:00,680 submitted then it was sent back to us to pick our favorite ones which were 24 00:01:57,039 --> 00:02:04,399 printed in high quality at full scale to 25 00:02:00,680 --> 00:02:07,600 be sent to me to evaluate and determine 26 00:02:04,399 --> 00:02:09,399 which ones would be the well which one 27 00:02:07,600 --> 00:02:13,599 would be the winner because everyone whose design is in front of me on the 28 00:02:10,840 --> 00:02:18,360 table actually gets a copy of the winning design but only the person who 29 00:02:16,239 --> 00:02:25,040 submitted the winning design gets an anodized gold color version of it along 30 00:02:21,879 --> 00:02:27,000 with the other two colors of it so let's 31 00:02:25,040 --> 00:02:31,400 uh let's get started here and figure out the the pros and cons of of each of 32 00:02:29,280 --> 00:02:34,840 these different headphone stand designs all right so the basic process that I'm 33 00:02:32,920 --> 00:02:39,159 going to be going through is I will be finding all the parts based on the 34 00:02:37,519 --> 00:02:42,159 original model submitted on my minifactory so you can actually check 35 00:02:40,840 --> 00:02:47,560 this out something that's cool is you guys can actually download these and 36 00:02:45,200 --> 00:02:50,280 print them anytime you want off of my minifactory 37 00:02:59,840 --> 00:03:05,840 phones as a quick test to uh see kind of 38 00:03:03,239 --> 00:03:11,080 how how it is really functionally in the real world so since I'm holding this one 39 00:03:08,440 --> 00:03:18,840 why don't I start with this one from Wall-E 40 00:03:13,640 --> 00:03:21,480 H so pros and cons of Wall's design the 41 00:03:18,840 --> 00:03:27,480 split construction means that it's going to be relatively easy to 42 00:03:23,799 --> 00:03:29,040 manufacture so you just build two pieces 43 00:03:27,480 --> 00:03:35,319 and then join them with a screw in the middle here making it also very compact 44 00:03:31,760 --> 00:03:37,319 to package and ship the simple elegant 45 00:03:35,319 --> 00:03:41,480 design I actually find quite appealing and I 46 00:03:38,360 --> 00:03:43,319 think matches fairly well with the 47 00:03:41,480 --> 00:03:47,799 design language that Silverstone is already using on their existing 48 00:03:45,040 --> 00:03:51,040 headphone stand product the one thing that I don't really like about this one 49 00:03:49,680 --> 00:03:58,239 is something that's going to be common with a lot of the other designs and that's that there's no real thought 50 00:03:55,439 --> 00:04:02,079 given to where to manage the cord something that's less of an issue on a 51 00:04:00,120 --> 00:04:06,920 desktop mounted stand where it can sit on the table um than it is on a 52 00:04:04,760 --> 00:04:10,040 wallmounted design where it simply will fall down to the 53 00:04:10,519 --> 00:04:16,199 floor okay this is a really nice design 54 00:04:13,519 --> 00:04:20,560 it looks like three or four pieces to construct so there will be some assembly 55 00:04:18,040 --> 00:04:26,680 required but what I like about this one is the nice gentle Arch that holds the 56 00:04:24,199 --> 00:04:31,240 headphones the fact that it has a lip to prevent them from falling off if you 57 00:04:28,759 --> 00:04:33,880 know I don't know neighbor bangs on the wall on the other side or whatever else 58 00:04:32,639 --> 00:04:39,280 you don't want your headphones to come tumbling down and it has an integrated 59 00:04:36,759 --> 00:04:46,080 knob for keeping your cables out of the way even the extraordinarily long cable 60 00:04:42,080 --> 00:04:48,639 on the HD 650s here was able to be 61 00:04:46,080 --> 00:04:52,400 managed oh this is kind of cool actually there's uh I didn't even notice this 62 00:04:50,120 --> 00:04:58,039 before but there is a little holder on the right hand side to actually route 63 00:04:55,039 --> 00:04:59,919 the cable cleanly up to the knob as well 64 00:04:58,039 --> 00:05:05,199 so it doesn't just kind of hang H over the side like that very nice so this 65 00:05:02,199 --> 00:05:08,680 design is from Patrick 66 00:05:05,199 --> 00:05:10,639 Brower okay so this design from Brian 67 00:05:08,680 --> 00:05:15,960 Pearson is a little bit different from the rest of them for a couple of reasons 68 00:05:12,960 --> 00:05:18,600 number one is points off for not really 69 00:05:15,960 --> 00:05:22,919 giving any thought to the mounting mechanism for it I had to just use 70 00:05:20,520 --> 00:05:28,080 double-sided tape and I guess he figured Silverstone would sort that out which is 71 00:05:24,880 --> 00:05:30,000 not entirely unfair but um definitely 72 00:05:28,080 --> 00:05:34,600 something that's nice to see people consider uh but the other main 73 00:05:31,919 --> 00:05:39,880 difference is that Brian's design seems to mostly consider uh portable 74 00:05:37,759 --> 00:05:43,960 headphones like smaller headphones like the kinds uh that you're looking at here 75 00:05:41,720 --> 00:05:49,440 this is a pair of Sennheiser momentum 2.0's now there was some thought given 76 00:05:46,319 --> 00:05:52,560 to cable management but I'm not really a 77 00:05:49,440 --> 00:05:54,880 huge fan of the approach because it 78 00:05:52,560 --> 00:06:00,160 doesn't really hold it very well and while I can see that I think this is to 79 00:05:57,319 --> 00:06:04,680 hold the connector right here uh it gives it a bit of a messy look on the 80 00:06:02,000 --> 00:06:11,280 wall so I would have liked to see a little bit more consideration for that 81 00:06:08,080 --> 00:06:14,599 in this design this next design from 82 00:06:11,280 --> 00:06:16,759 Matt selck definitely wins points for 83 00:06:14,599 --> 00:06:23,080 Elegance I actually really like the shield style wall plate uh the support 84 00:06:19,919 --> 00:06:24,599 brace here while not necessary when 85 00:06:23,080 --> 00:06:29,919 we're talking hanging headphones off a piece of aluminum I think looks really 86 00:06:26,800 --> 00:06:33,400 good and it'll be appealing to folks who 87 00:06:29,919 --> 00:06:34,759 own both small and larger headphones but 88 00:06:33,400 --> 00:06:41,479 the things that I think are missing in this design are that I'd like to see the wall plate be a little bit bigger and I 89 00:06:39,240 --> 00:06:49,000 would also like to see more thought given to uh Cable Management yes a 90 00:06:44,919 --> 00:06:51,520 recurring theme I know so this design is 91 00:06:49,000 --> 00:06:56,639 from I'm going to say Yorn okay I tried well either way there 92 00:06:54,240 --> 00:07:00,759 were a couple things that I really liked about it number one is it has like kind 93 00:06:58,479 --> 00:07:04,879 of a Starship Enterprise esque look to it not quite sure how that happened but 94 00:07:03,319 --> 00:07:09,919 definitely the inner geeken me appreciates it number two is clear 95 00:07:07,199 --> 00:07:14,440 thought has been given not only to how you can hang small lightweight 96 00:07:11,960 --> 00:07:19,599 headphones looks great by the way but also large heavier headphones because it 97 00:07:17,199 --> 00:07:24,599 gets the holder far enough away from the wall that it's not going to bump against 98 00:07:21,479 --> 00:07:26,680 anything I also do like the fact that it 99 00:07:24,599 --> 00:07:30,720 has an integrated cable management system where you can wrap it around the 100 00:07:28,240 --> 00:07:34,520 wall plate but there were a couple of things that didn't appeal to me that 101 00:07:32,440 --> 00:07:38,160 much as well I think the wall plate could have been larger this would have 102 00:07:36,479 --> 00:07:43,960 made Cable Management a little bit easier and improv the Aesthetics and I 103 00:07:41,759 --> 00:07:47,759 think that the support shaft really doesn't look that great with larger 104 00:07:46,120 --> 00:07:52,479 headphones on it so the design could have stood to be a little bit beefier 105 00:07:50,280 --> 00:07:57,159 overall but this one's a really really solid 106 00:07:53,960 --> 00:08:00,599 offering so this design from Steven 107 00:07:57,159 --> 00:08:02,720 flaven intrigued me more than anything 108 00:08:00,599 --> 00:08:07,720 else and I really really had to see it in person basically there's a couple of 109 00:08:05,400 --> 00:08:12,680 different things going on here not all of which are apparent when just looking 110 00:08:09,560 --> 00:08:13,680 at the 3D model picture so number one is 111 00:08:12,680 --> 00:08:18,360 that with a little popping thing here you can 112 00:08:16,440 --> 00:08:21,120 actually fold it down in the event that you don't feel like storing your 113 00:08:19,639 --> 00:08:28,879 headphones on it and you can restore it to its locked status here and number two 114 00:08:24,720 --> 00:08:34,159 is that while it appeared as though this 115 00:08:28,879 --> 00:08:36,919 bottom piece could um be raised in the 116 00:08:34,159 --> 00:08:40,479 model it doesn't actually seem to account for that in the design so I was 117 00:08:38,640 --> 00:08:43,760 kind of thinking it was a double layered design but if you look at where it lines 118 00:08:42,000 --> 00:08:48,959 up it would be it would interfere with the top headphones anyway so while I 119 00:08:46,600 --> 00:08:54,640 definitely like the sort of the the folding down concept here I think due to 120 00:08:52,640 --> 00:08:58,680 manufacturing difficulties as much as anything else uh this one's not going to 121 00:08:57,040 --> 00:09:04,200 be coming away with the prize but definitely like the idea this design 122 00:09:01,519 --> 00:09:09,880 from Michael I actually I think I liked it a little bit more in the renders it's 123 00:09:06,240 --> 00:09:13,519 got kind of a cool Contour thing going 124 00:09:09,880 --> 00:09:16,000 on very very artsy but in terms of 125 00:09:13,519 --> 00:09:19,360 practicality it doesn't have a very broad surface for the top of the 126 00:09:17,680 --> 00:09:22,600 headphones to rest on so it's actually going to Dent the headphone padding 127 00:09:21,079 --> 00:09:27,800 there a little bit not much thought really given to cable management but I 128 00:09:25,040 --> 00:09:31,519 do like I do like what Michael was going for here in terms of the look and how 129 00:09:30,000 --> 00:09:36,320 it'll look on the wall when it doesn't have headphones on it in fact I think I like this one better without the 130 00:09:34,079 --> 00:09:40,640 headphones on it which is a little bit unique so our next design here is one 131 00:09:38,680 --> 00:09:45,079 that I actually really like this one from Matthew Vidal a lot of thought 132 00:09:43,079 --> 00:09:50,640 given to mounting on this one so you go ahead and you screw in the rear plate 133 00:09:47,680 --> 00:09:57,519 then the top piece locks into place from the top very simple design very elegant 134 00:09:54,160 --> 00:10:00,279 looking headphones go on like so again 135 00:09:57,519 --> 00:10:04,959 points off for no real thought given to cable management but I love the 136 00:10:02,160 --> 00:10:08,480 Simplicity I love the uh the lip at the edge so that the headphones aren't going 137 00:10:06,279 --> 00:10:12,480 to slip off by accident love the spacing Off the Wall just right to have the 138 00:10:11,160 --> 00:10:18,760 headphones like sitting right in the middle and not banging up against the wall really do really do like this one 139 00:10:16,600 --> 00:10:24,000 from from Matthew here all right so we got Matthew's design here which is a 140 00:10:20,800 --> 00:10:25,640 folding kind of this looked better in 141 00:10:24,000 --> 00:10:29,279 the render but I'm sure Silverstone would replace that with like their logo 142 00:10:27,320 --> 00:10:34,040 or something but it's a folding design that actually has the benefit of being 143 00:10:31,680 --> 00:10:36,880 able to tuck the top piece it doesn't go all the way in because of the 144 00:10:35,000 --> 00:10:40,320 scaffolding of the 3D printing but you can see here it would basically go all 145 00:10:38,480 --> 00:10:46,800 the way inside when you're not using it or all you do is slide this piece 146 00:10:43,440 --> 00:10:48,200 through locks into place and boom you 147 00:10:46,800 --> 00:10:53,320 put your headphones on just a little something like that and this is cool too 148 00:10:51,079 --> 00:10:58,279 you can use that space in the top that you can 149 00:10:54,560 --> 00:11:00,519 store ah that you can store the 150 00:10:58,279 --> 00:11:06,200 headphone holder in to hold the cord whenever you're not using it I actually 151 00:11:02,639 --> 00:11:09,880 quite like this one and finally our last 152 00:11:06,200 --> 00:11:13,639 entry this one's called Model circular a 153 00:11:09,880 --> 00:11:15,519 and I really really like this one I knew 154 00:11:13,639 --> 00:11:22,399 coming into this this was going to be the one to beat this is by Henning Weber 155 00:11:18,639 --> 00:11:25,120 Weber well either way basically the way 156 00:11:22,399 --> 00:11:29,200 this puppy works is it's big and I can see that being a turnoff for some people 157 00:11:27,200 --> 00:11:34,519 but it brings with it a lot of functionality so there's a slot right 158 00:11:31,519 --> 00:11:37,279 here to run your cords through so you go 159 00:11:34,519 --> 00:11:42,800 ahead and just kind of throw your cords into the into the cable organizer pouch 160 00:11:40,680 --> 00:11:47,240 there then you can put up to two pairs of headphones on it personally I'm not a 161 00:11:45,399 --> 00:11:52,120 huge fan of the way the second pair of headphones goes on at the back but it's 162 00:11:49,920 --> 00:11:56,040 nice to at least have the space for it since it is kind of a bulkier design and 163 00:11:54,839 --> 00:12:02,760 then you go ahead and you put your second pair of headphones on the front 164 00:11:59,959 --> 00:12:07,000 what I like about how large the the little cubby here for cables is is that 165 00:12:05,160 --> 00:12:12,760 you can also Jam some accessories in there like 2 and 1/2 mil to 3 and 1/2 mm 166 00:12:10,079 --> 00:12:17,120 Jack adapters for example so I'm going to go ahead and pop this in here and we 167 00:12:15,320 --> 00:12:21,880 will declare the winner well I think we might as well I 168 00:12:20,600 --> 00:12:27,000 think we might as well declare the winner now I'm really liking this one so 169 00:12:24,839 --> 00:12:32,959 assuming that Silverstone can find a way to manufacture it then I'm going to go 170 00:12:29,519 --> 00:12:35,000 with the circular a design right here 171 00:12:32,959 --> 00:12:40,560 and then I think I'm actually going to make my runner up in the event that this 172 00:12:37,320 --> 00:12:43,079 cannot be made this puppy right here so 173 00:12:40,560 --> 00:12:49,720 thank you to everyone who participated remember everyone whose design was shown 174 00:12:45,720 --> 00:12:52,480 off here today does get a finished copy 175 00:12:49,720 --> 00:12:58,600 of the winning design and the winner not only gets black and silver but also a 176 00:12:56,040 --> 00:13:03,920 gold anodized version of their winning design design and I think that's pretty 177 00:13:00,600 --> 00:13:07,120 much it guys and on that subject crunchy 178 00:13:03,920 --> 00:13:10,199 roll the website created by anime
