Plantronics Headset control cover

I kept accidentally muting myself by bumping the mute key on my headset at work. Then I would be talking and no one would respond. After moments of waiting or trying to talk I would realize I had an issue. I would always first go the mute button on the Skype app. It would not be muted but still, others could not hear me. Those buttons were always the last place I would think to check. You would think it would be one of the first but I would forget they are even on the USB cord. I decided I could solve that issue really quickly and that is just what I did. I opened up Fusion 360 and started on the solution to the problem! Here it is on Thingiverse Below are the pictures of what it looks like

This was a really simple thought that becomes reality in like 20 minutes! It just clips over the wires to hold it in place. The inset part on the back keeps it from touching the control buttons and that takes care of the problem! I know I have enjoyed Fusion 360 since I have started using it! It does make designing a lot easier in my opinion. Just shows that having a 3d printer starts to change the way you see problems around you. I already catch myself thinking in terms of shapes and differences in shapes when I see things! Hopefully, this is only one of many designs to come. If you have any ideas feel free to add them in the comments below! I have a couple ideas in mind we will see if I can make time to work on them. Work is crazy right now. I have not even had time to fly in the last few weeks! 🙁 I need to get some parts orders to get the drone back into the air. I also have one ready to build I just need to make time to get it up and flying!

Its been great fun until next time “Keep on Making Things!!”
