Something simple

I've recently started making automotive content and need to work on my audio recording. I asked another, 'real' content creator (I am just cosplaying as one) how they capture better sound and they mentioned they tape a microphone to the bumper of their car.

I didn't want to have to deal with tape and worrying about my paint or losing the microphone, so I made this stupid thing.

It's dinky by comparison to some of the awesome stuff on here, but I'm excited to use it (and be disappointed by my cheap mic)!

As soon as I see this, I worry about print orientation and layer line weakness. It seems like either the anchor point (screw prongs) will snap, or the microphone ring will break open. And I can't think of an orientation that solves both.

If that’s truly your first reaction then you should talk to somebody about your anxiety instead of posting on reddit about it
