Description

After trying out some existing (on-ear) mods I wanted to turn my Koss KSC75s into Over Ear Headphones. I'm pleasently surprised with the results. I like the sound and they're super light and comfortable to wear.

 

Overview

  • Headband and earcups fully printed.
  • Everything but the Headband prints without supports.
  • Swappable baffles allow switching between open back and closed back design.
  • You have to bend the Headband mounts into form after printing. Works great with PETG but be careful not to snap the part in half when using PLA. (Heat is your friend)

What you need

  • 3D Printer
  • 2 Earpads (round, 100mm diameter - I used spare Beyerdynamic pads)
  • Some cotton wool or similar for padding
  • Sticky putty for the end caps. (You can also glue the caps to the earcups but then you lose the option to change between open and closed design later. Also only glue the caps once you're sure you like the sound!)

Printing (1 Pair):

  • 1 Headband - Regular size should fit most people. Large is really large
  • 2 Headband mounts
  • 2 Earcups
  • 2 End caps (open or closed back, your choice)

Assembly:

  • Press fit the KSC75s into the Earcups and put the cable in the designated slot.
  • Put your Earpads on the Earcups.
  • Pad the insides of the Earcups with cotton wool. (you can add or remove wool later to adjust the sound)
  • Put the End Caps on the Earcups
  • Bend the headband mounts into shape until they match the headband curve. Heat is your friend, just don't overdo it. (Bottom of the print goes toward the headband)
  • Now we can attach the Earcups to the Headband mounts. Just press the mount into the Earcup from both sides.
  • Snap the assembled Mounts onto the Headband and you're done.
  • Now you can start testing the sound and remove/add wool as preferred.

Remix Info:

I used r15ch13's headband model as a starting point since I couldn'´t think of a better mounting solution.

Only the mounts are copied from r15ch13's model, everything else is my creation.

Update! I reprinted these with support. It came out perfect. Looks like there is literally a part of the model that would have been printed over nothing. It's strange that these were not labelled as critical regions by the slicer.

I finally got to finish it. Sounds much bassier and a little bit boxie but i'm sure it can be tuned out. I had to make a new headband bc it was not sized for a human head. (New headband is streched to 185mm) The end caps also had to be resized. (reduce by 1mm)

Printed on P1S - PLA Earcups, ends, headband PCTG mounts The Regular headband is quite small, tested on 5 mix of females and males and no one fitted in it, and is different looking than in the pictures. Ended up printing the large headband which did look like the pictures and fitted alright. The regular sized headband is substantially stiffer than the large headband which is why its only around 1cm wider in width it can flex alot more into the head. The closed logo end caps and earcups don't fit, had to do a bunch of dremeling and deburring to get them to tight fit. Can't say anything about the other end caps available. The KSC75 fit exactly right into the drive slot, but you have to glue them in to keep them in the earcup, probably best with a bit of hot glue gun glue. My earpads haven't arrived so I dont know how well the pads would fit.
