Desk Headphone Stand

Most printed headphone stands tip over because the base is too light for the leverage of a headset sitting 250 mm up. The fix is not a bigger base — it is a base with a cavity you can weight, plus a cradle wide enough that the headband is not pinched.

Fits: Over-ear headsets up to 200 mm headband width

Make this one yours. Cadio generates it to your measurements — change the size, slot count, or angle by describing what you need.

Key dimensions

Height	250 mm
Cradle width	110 mm — clears most over-ear pads
Cradle radius	Contoured so the headband is not creased
Base	120 × 110 mm with a weight cavity
Cable hook	Integrated on the column

Print settings

Material	PLA is fine — this is a low-stress part
Layer height	0.2 mm, or 0.15 mm for a cleaner column
Walls	3 perimeters
Infill	20%, or 10% if you are filling the base with weight
Supports	Only under the cradle overhang
Orientation	Base down, column vertical

What actually matters

Pause the print at the top of the base cavity and drop in coins, sand, or a steel washer stack. A weighted base is the single change that stops a stand tipping.
A wide, flat cradle preserves headband padding. Narrow hooks put all the pressure on one line and leave a permanent dent.
Printing the column vertically makes it look better but weaker. If it will get knocked, thicken it rather than reorienting.

Questions

Will it hold a heavy gaming headset?

Yes, with the base weighted. Empty, a tall stand and a 400 g headset is marginal — add mass to the cavity.

Can I mount it under the desk instead?

That is a different part — a clamp arm rather than a stand. Generate a under-desk headphone hook instead of adapting this one.

Need it in a different size, or with more slots?
