Philips SHP9600 ear pad adapter

Description

I wanted to change out the ear pads on my Philips SHP9600's to try to get them to sound a bit more to my liking. The original pads are attached similarly to the SHP9500's with little clips holding some plastic pieces in place which themselves were attached (permanently) to the original padding. I started with Lesman's excellent SHP9500 adapters and modified them to fit the SHP9600 which was a little tricky as it required a pretty thin plate for the tab to snap over. Anyhoo, I ended up with something that works although I've oversized some of the connection slots (which shouldn't hurt anything) but I was too lazy to go back and alter them. You'll need to remove your old pads WHICH IS TRICKY because the mounting plate is VERY THIN. Mine cracked on one side of the plate while trying to get it off. So, PROCEED WITH THAT IN MIND! And, I believe there's a little glue holding the plates on (on each side) as well, so again, keep that in mind. If you're altering your headphones, just know that there might not be any going back if you break something. As you can see in my pics, snap the new plate in place before attaching any new pads. Then, stretch your new pad over the top of the new mounting plate. I believe the pads I show in the pic are BrainwavZ brand. I printed mine at .15mm layer height since the plate itself is only about 1mm think due to the tiny height of the arms with the tabs jutting up from the headphone body. This is a much thinner design than the model I began with. It's just what has to be because of the design of the SHP9600's. Also, print them at 100 percent infill for maximum strength. I used PLA. And, You might need to scale the model in the x/y a bit, just in case the tabs don't line up perfectly. I know my FLSUN QQ isn't the best at accuracy so the model I generated might need a little tweaking during printing on other machines. Oh, and please forgive my blue painters tape that is a bit stuck to the plate in the pics. :)
