    Hello all!
    It's been a while since I've been last active here. Sorry bout that, other hobbies and work took precedence.
    I'd appreciate your help. A week ago I decided to get HD414 again, after 5 years since I sold my last pair, and found a modified Deluxe edition for circumaural use, also fitted with generic velour pads.
    The sound is way different from what I remember with supra-aural yellow pads from sennheiser (obviously). Apparently in 2017, SH decided to release a 50yr anniversary edition, and around that time I suspect these ear plates were made.

    The dimensions are 105mm OD, 45mm ID.

    Is there a chance someone got the stl/dxf file for HD414 circumaural mod? I asked the original seller, but he's 2nd owner and do not have it. Since the bass ports are closed on this one, it leaves me to believe that such stl was not made by the 1st owner, but rather downloaded from somewhere.
    I also found this: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1427940
    which is supposed to be the 50th anniversary supra-aural plates, but it's now removed from thingiverse

    Thank you for your help!

    Looks like it's vaporware now. No matter, time to model new ones. Lemme update the thread once done. Hopefully with loose 105mm (AKG k240 earpads fit) and tight 78mm variants (DT250/Sony earpads fit) to accomodate most usecases. I just got another hd414 to mod, so those interested, stay tuned, although updates might be slow.

    Any update to this? Just got a pair of HD414s and I'd love to get it working with larger pads!
