WEBVTT 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 00:00:06.560 --> 00:00:14.599 the mail with a whole bunch of really cool stuff in it what's that lonus 00:00:10.880 --> 00:00:19.199 bubble wrap no this is my followup for 00:00:14.599 --> 00:00:24.000 the Silverstone design a new headphone 00:00:19.199 --> 00:00:25.720 stand for lonus competition so I have I 00:00:24.000 --> 00:00:31.759 believe it is 13 3D printed headphone stands designs 00:00:30.000 --> 00:00:37.960 from members of the lonus tech tips Community to try out today and declare a 00:00:35.000 --> 00:00:44.520 winner that Silverstone will be using their manufacturing prowess to turn into 00:00:40.520 --> 00:00:46.760 a finished product of this quality so uh 00:00:44.520 --> 00:00:49.399 I am really looking forward to this let's see how it 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 00:01:01.800 --> 00:01:08.720 build guides and build logs well hey now they have support for Corsair RMI and 00:01:06.720 --> 00:01:12.520 rmx series power supplies check out the link in the video description to check 00:01:10.360 --> 00:01:12.520 that 00:01:15.000 --> 00:01:20.079 out oo that one's cool so while I'm 00:01:18.400 --> 00:01:25.439 finishing unwrapping these I'll give you guys a little bit of the uh history of 00:01:22.920 --> 00:01:30.840 the Journey of how these 3D printed headphone stands got to be here we 00:01:27.880 --> 00:01:35.840 received literally hundreds of submissions and I'm talking even if you 00:01:33.119 --> 00:01:41.000 exclude the penis shaped ones for this design contest some of which were 00:01:38.320 --> 00:01:46.119 excellent some of which were not as excellent but the ones that you see here 00:01:43.240 --> 00:01:50.360 before you are the cream of the crop so my mini Factory that's actually their 00:01:48.079 --> 00:01:55.119 contribution to this whole thing 3D printed every single design that was 00:01:52.640 --> 00:02:00.680 submitted then it was sent back to us to pick our favorite ones which were 00:01:57.039 --> 00:02:04.399 printed in high quality at full scale to 00:02:00.680 --> 00:02:07.600 be sent to me to evaluate and determine 00:02:04.399 --> 00:02:09.399 which ones would be the well which one 00:02:07.600 --> 00:02:13.599 would be the winner because everyone whose design is in front of me on the 00:02:10.840 --> 00:02:18.360 table actually gets a copy of the winning design but only the person who 00:02:16.239 --> 00:02:25.040 submitted the winning design gets an anodized gold color version of it along 00:02:21.879 --> 00:02:27.000 with the other two colors of it so let's 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 00:02:29.280 --> 00:02:34.840 these different headphone stand designs all right so the basic process that I'm 00:02:32.920 --> 00:02:39.159 going to be going through is I will be finding all the parts based on the 00:02:37.519 --> 00:02:42.159 original model submitted on my minifactory so you can actually check 00:02:40.840 --> 00:02:47.560 this out something that's cool is you guys can actually download these and 00:02:45.200 --> 00:02:50.280 print them anytime you want off of my minifactory 00:02:59.840 --> 00:03:05.840 phones as a quick test to uh see kind of 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 00:03:08.440 --> 00:03:18.840 why don't I start with this one from Wall-E 00:03:13.640 --> 00:03:21.480 H so pros and cons of Wall's design the 00:03:18.840 --> 00:03:27.480 split construction means that it's going to be relatively easy to 00:03:23.799 --> 00:03:29.040 manufacture so you just build two pieces 00:03:27.480 --> 00:03:35.319 and then join them with a screw in the middle here making it also very compact 00:03:31.760 --> 00:03:37.319 to package and ship the simple elegant 00:03:35.319 --> 00:03:41.480 design I actually find quite appealing and I 00:03:38.360 --> 00:03:43.319 think matches fairly well with the 00:03:41.480 --> 00:03:47.799 design language that Silverstone is already using on their existing 00:03:45.040 --> 00:03:51.040 headphone stand product the one thing that I don't really like about this one 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 00:03:55.439 --> 00:04:02.079 given to where to manage the cord something that's less of an issue on a 00:04:00.120 --> 00:04:06.920 desktop mounted stand where it can sit on the table um than it is on a 00:04:04.760 --> 00:04:10.040 wallmounted design where it simply will fall down to the 00:04:10.519 --> 00:04:16.199 floor okay this is a really nice design 00:04:13.519 --> 00:04:20.560 it looks like three or four pieces to construct so there will be some assembly 00:04:18.040 --> 00:04:26.680 required but what I like about this one is the nice gentle Arch that holds the 00:04:24.199 --> 00:04:31.240 headphones the fact that it has a lip to prevent them from falling off if you 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 00:04:32.639 --> 00:04:39.280 you don't want your headphones to come tumbling down and it has an integrated 00:04:36.759 --> 00:04:46.080 knob for keeping your cables out of the way even the extraordinarily long cable 00:04:42.080 --> 00:04:48.639 on the HD 650s here was able to be 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 00:04:50.120 --> 00:04:58.039 before but there is a little holder on the right hand side to actually route 00:04:55.039 --> 00:04:59.919 the cable cleanly up to the knob as well 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 00:05:02.199 --> 00:05:08.680 design is from Patrick 00:05:05.199 --> 00:05:10.639 Brower okay so this design from Brian 00:05:08.680 --> 00:05:15.960 Pearson is a little bit different from the rest of them for a couple of reasons 00:05:12.960 --> 00:05:18.600 number one is points off for not really 00:05:15.960 --> 00:05:22.919 giving any thought to the mounting mechanism for it I had to just use 00:05:20.520 --> 00:05:28.080 double-sided tape and I guess he figured Silverstone would sort that out which is 00:05:24.880 --> 00:05:30.000 not entirely unfair but um definitely 00:05:28.080 --> 00:05:34.600 something that's nice to see people consider uh but the other main 00:05:31.919 --> 00:05:39.880 difference is that Brian's design seems to mostly consider uh portable 00:05:37.759 --> 00:05:43.960 headphones like smaller headphones like the kinds uh that you're looking at here 00:05:41.720 --> 00:05:49.440 this is a pair of Sennheiser momentum 2.0's now there was some thought given 00:05:46.319 --> 00:05:52.560 to cable management but I'm not really a 00:05:49.440 --> 00:05:54.880 huge fan of the approach because it 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 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 00:06:02.000 --> 00:06:11.280 wall so I would have liked to see a little bit more consideration for that 00:06:08.080 --> 00:06:14.599 in this design this next design from 00:06:11.280 --> 00:06:16.759 Matt selck definitely wins points for 00:06:14.599 --> 00:06:23.080 Elegance I actually really like the shield style wall plate uh the support 00:06:19.919 --> 00:06:24.599 brace here while not necessary when 00:06:23.080 --> 00:06:29.919 we're talking hanging headphones off a piece of aluminum I think looks really 00:06:26.800 --> 00:06:33.400 good and it'll be appealing to folks who 00:06:29.919 --> 00:06:34.759 own both small and larger headphones but 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 00:06:39.240 --> 00:06:49.000 would also like to see more thought given to uh Cable Management yes a 00:06:44.919 --> 00:06:51.520 recurring theme I know so this design is 00:06:49.000 --> 00:06:56.639 from I'm going to say Yorn okay I tried well either way there 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 00:06:58.479 --> 00:07:04.879 of a Starship Enterprise esque look to it not quite sure how that happened but 00:07:03.319 --> 00:07:09.919 definitely the inner geeken me appreciates it number two is clear 00:07:07.199 --> 00:07:14.440 thought has been given not only to how you can hang small lightweight 00:07:11.960 --> 00:07:19.599 headphones looks great by the way but also large heavier headphones because it 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 00:07:21.479 --> 00:07:26.680 anything I also do like the fact that it 00:07:24.599 --> 00:07:30.720 has an integrated cable management system where you can wrap it around the 00:07:28.240 --> 00:07:34.520 wall plate but there were a couple of things that didn't appeal to me that 00:07:32.440 --> 00:07:38.160 much as well I think the wall plate could have been larger this would have 00:07:36.479 --> 00:07:43.960 made Cable Management a little bit easier and improv the Aesthetics and I 00:07:41.759 --> 00:07:47.759 think that the support shaft really doesn't look that great with larger 00:07:46.120 --> 00:07:52.479 headphones on it so the design could have stood to be a little bit beefier 00:07:50.280 --> 00:07:57.159 overall but this one's a really really solid 00:07:53.960 --> 00:08:00.599 offering so this design from Steven 00:07:57.159 --> 00:08:02.720 flaven intrigued me more than anything 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 00:08:05.400 --> 00:08:12.680 different things going on here not all of which are apparent when just looking 00:08:09.560 --> 00:08:13.680 at the 3D model picture so number one is 00:08:12.680 --> 00:08:18.360 that with a little popping thing here you can 00:08:16.440 --> 00:08:21.120 actually fold it down in the event that you don't feel like storing your 00:08:19.639 --> 00:08:28.879 headphones on it and you can restore it to its locked status here and number two 00:08:24.720 --> 00:08:34.159 is that while it appeared as though this 00:08:28.879 --> 00:08:36.919 bottom piece could um be raised in the 00:08:34.159 --> 00:08:40.479 model it doesn't actually seem to account for that in the design so I was 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 00:08:42.000 --> 00:08:48.959 up it would be it would interfere with the top headphones anyway so while I 00:08:46.600 --> 00:08:54.640 definitely like the sort of the the folding down concept here I think due to 00:08:52.640 --> 00:08:58.680 manufacturing difficulties as much as anything else uh this one's not going to 00:08:57.040 --> 00:09:04.200 be coming away with the prize but definitely like the idea this design 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 00:09:06.240 --> 00:09:13.519 got kind of a cool Contour thing going 00:09:09.880 --> 00:09:16.000 on very very artsy but in terms of 00:09:13.519 --> 00:09:19.360 practicality it doesn't have a very broad surface for the top of the 00:09:17.680 --> 00:09:22.600 headphones to rest on so it's actually going to Dent the headphone padding 00:09:21.079 --> 00:09:27.800 there a little bit not much thought really given to cable management but I 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 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 00:09:34.079 --> 00:09:40.640 headphones on it which is a little bit unique so our next design here is one 00:09:38.680 --> 00:09:45.079 that I actually really like this one from Matthew Vidal a lot of thought 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 00:09:47.680 --> 00:09:57.519 then the top piece locks into place from the top very simple design very elegant 00:09:54.160 --> 00:10:00.279 looking headphones go on like so again 00:09:57.519 --> 00:10:04.959 points off for no real thought given to cable management but I love the 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 00:10:06.279 --> 00:10:12.480 to slip off by accident love the spacing Off the Wall just right to have the 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 00:10:16.600 --> 00:10:24.000 from from Matthew here all right so we got Matthew's design here which is a 00:10:20.800 --> 00:10:25.640 folding kind of this looked better in 00:10:24.000 --> 00:10:29.279 the render but I'm sure Silverstone would replace that with like their logo 00:10:27.320 --> 00:10:34.040 or something but it's a folding design that actually has the benefit of being 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 00:10:35.000 --> 00:10:40.320 scaffolding of the 3D printing but you can see here it would basically go all 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 00:10:43.440 --> 00:10:48.200 through locks into place and boom you 00:10:46.800 --> 00:10:53.320 put your headphones on just a little something like that and this is cool too 00:10:51.079 --> 00:10:58.279 you can use that space in the top that you can 00:10:54.560 --> 00:11:00.519 store ah that you can store the 00:10:58.279 --> 00:11:06.200 headphone holder in to hold the cord whenever you're not using it I actually 00:11:02.639 --> 00:11:09.880 quite like this one and finally our last 00:11:06.200 --> 00:11:13.639 entry this one's called Model circular a 00:11:09.880 --> 00:11:15.519 and I really really like this one I knew 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 00:11:18.639 --> 00:11:25.120 Weber well either way basically the way 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 00:11:27.200 --> 00:11:34.519 but it brings with it a lot of functionality so there's a slot right 00:11:31.519 --> 00:11:37.279 here to run your cords through so you go 00:11:34.519 --> 00:11:42.800 ahead and just kind of throw your cords into the into the cable organizer pouch 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 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 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 00:11:54.839 --> 00:12:02.760 then you go ahead and you put your second pair of headphones on the front 00:11:59.959 --> 00:12:07.000 what I like about how large the the little cubby here for cables is is that 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 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 00:12:15.320 --> 00:12:21.880 will declare the winner well I think we might as well I 00:12:20.600 --> 00:12:27.000 think we might as well declare the winner now I'm really liking this one so 00:12:24.839 --> 00:12:32.959 assuming that Silverstone can find a way to manufacture it then I'm going to go 00:12:29.519 --> 00:12:35.000 with the circular a design right here 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 00:12:37.320 --> 00:12:43.079 cannot be made this puppy right here so 00:12:40.560 --> 00:12:49.720 thank you to everyone who participated remember everyone whose design was shown 00:12:45.720 --> 00:12:52.480 off here today does get a finished copy 00:12:49.720 --> 00:12:58.600 of the winning design and the winner not only gets black and silver but also a 00:12:56.040 --> 00:13:03.920 gold anodized version of their winning design design and I think that's pretty 00:13:00.600 --> 00:13:07.120 much it guys and on that subject crunchy 00:13:03.920 -->
