Broken Bose X?

[ragedracer1977]

 The ear yokes broke on my headset.  Bose does not sell the parts, you have to send the whole set in for a $225 repair.  Found a guy selling 3d printed replacements for under $50 delivered for a pair.  They're great! I don't think you could break them without really trying.   If I had other sets of X headsets, I'd replace all the yokes right now.   If you're interested, email zack3dprints@gmail.com

Another use of functional 3D printing!

Keep the updates coming...

Just to update on this.  The yokes failed, although they did not break.  My son left them on the glare shield, in the sun.  The yokes deformed.

Tell your guy to keep trying.  Those yokes are exactly what broke on my wife's seldom used Bose X.

I'm no longer a Bose fan.

I used the same guy. Same crack in mine. Works great.  I'd recommend sanding the corners. They are pretty pointy.

Mine also deformed.  Put the whole family in the plane on Saturday and went to a birthday party.  My wife started complaining about the headset not fitting right.  She took my A20s and I put on the Bose X.  It didn't fit at all!  I was so confused because I thought I had repaired it.  Luckily I was lazy when I repaired it so I had only replaced the broken side.  I compared the spare 3d printed ear yoke to the replaced one and realized that it had melted and deformed into a curved shape instead of flat.

I keep all the headsets on the hat rack and it looks like the heat got to them.  

Hit the yoke with a heat gun to make it flat again.  Looks like I will be keeping this headset in the hangar and not in the plane.

Any idea what printer created the parts or material used? I have a higher end FDM machine (MarkForged) that prints Onyx (carbon infused nylon). The onyx is quite a bit stronger and doesn't seem to deform in the heat like typical FDM materials. The MarkForged printer also has a lot better resolution. My in-ear head set is primarily 3D printed parts, and I've had no issue leaving it in the plane on a hot summer day.
