My daughter requested a microphone for her pop star costume and I decided to design one for her.

I sliced the top grille in Slic3r and printed without any support. As I wanted to do a color change for the shaft and bottom grille, I sliced that part in PrusaControl and to support the lip in the grille connection I printed with support but the the software insisted on support to the bottom of the shaft as well. I designed it so that it should not be needed and other slicers may be able to slice it without the central support column.

To spruce it up a little I also printed a white diffuser and added a color changing led light at the bottom. I have added a 46mm sphere in the package. Take it into your favorite slicer and slice the bottom 9mm of it if you have a similar led light as mine and superglue it to the diffuser.

In addition to the light I knew she would like to add some "gems" so I added 8 x 4mm diameter indents in the grille to accommodate them.

Print Settings

Printer:

Prusa Mk2s

Rafts:

No

Supports:

Yes

Resolution:

0.15

Infill:

20%


Notes:

Print at 0.15 and 20% infill. Use a brim and supports from build plate on the main mic part.

I did a color change at layer 8.02 and 23.15 for the silver dome. Add other layer changes if you want. I added 2 gold lines at the bottom of the shaft for accent.

The grille is friction fit and pretty tight. Use some light sanding or scraping on the inside lip to make the fit a bit looser.
