Description
I made this specifically because my brother wanted something that wasn't easily molded with an injection molding machine. The undercuts on the bollards and the jack port should make it impossible, if not unrealistically expensive to make that way.
The picture is pretty self explanatory. Put earbuds in, wind and then push the jack end into the hole provided.
EDIT: This only seems to work with the new iPod / iphone earbuds with the volume control buttons on the cord. Thanks to all those who tried with other earbuds.

Instructions
I had the best luck with a heated build platform set to about 130 C.

Great Idea
I tried this with both iPod 4 buds and iPhone buds that I have.
Suggested changes:
- Reduce the thickness of the base. This seems rather thick for the need (IMO)
- Increase the length of the post features (the distance around the posts is not long enough nor high enough for the length of the
two samples)
- Increase the diameter of the hole for the connector. The sample iPhone connector had a rubber cover that would not fit
More from edmo
unfortunatelly it does'nt fit my hearphones for Samsung Galaxy S :'(
What part needs to change for you? I can make the modifications.
