3D Printed Microphone Mod for Distant Recordings

[@croaganroagan6355]

You have some true potential man. Keep up this awesome work and you’ll have over 100k subs in no time!

[@Isjix4410]

dude got a good sense of what people like to see. keep em up man you'll get on up there

[@wecreatedit]

Great video editing and commentary. Thanks for the cool content.

[@savisaidler9719]

You deserve millions of subs

[@BirdbrainEngineer]

I'm flattered! The quality still has a long way to go but I am learning as I go.

[@ArmyOfThree1000]

I love the videos so glad they got recommended to me

[@simpl5049]

Dude how do you have so little subs????

[@adrianskalnins1459]

Nice video, keep up the work and you will be the next william osman!👍

[@BirdbrainEngineer]

William is a big inspiration for me!

[@javilarg]

Amazing! Interesting project! Could you please share your STLs to make a science project for my children?

You probably need one bigger parabola to get some real gain... On the meters range... Wavelengths and everything....

[@BirdbrainEngineer]

The effect is limited indeed. A larger parabola would of course, be better. My 3d printer doesn't have a very large build volume though, so I personally would have to print the outer edges as separate parts and glue them on or something. Also another thing that a keen listener might notice, is that the timbre of the recording changes juuust slightly, towards... well, honestly, a plastic-y tone (imagine talking into a traffic cone or something similar)

You should make a parabolic mirror for solar cooking

Hi

KZbin keeps deleting my comments (thanks, google)

Birds aside - 45cm diameter up works for female human voices 75cm starts to enhance male voices well. A microphone array at the focus is the best. This can be achieved by 3D printing segments and gluing them together. I successfully easily heard (when I found the sweet spot) a conversation [with consent] between my sister and her kid at 80 meters. Companies charge thousands for these -which is utterly ridiculous.

[@BirdbrainEngineer]

Yeah, making a parabolic microphone on your own, as long as you can get a good enough parabolic surface from somewhere is sooooo much cheaper...

[@HarishKumar-sf6ic]

Do you have the design file for 3d printing?
