Making Bose QC 25 USB friendly

I've been using Bose QuietComfort 25 for a couple of years now. They are great for watching movies on long transatlantic flights, but their miniature on-the-wire microphone and 3mm audio jack makes them unusable for long transatlantic Skype calls. Adding USB capability sounded like a good idea, and it wasn't hard at all with my new Prusa i3 MK3 printer.

For Skype I've been using Plantronics 626 for almost 8 years and finally ear pads started to disintegrate. Instead of soursing a new ear pards for this discontinued headset I decided to used Bose QC 25 as a replacement :)

First make a model in blender3d:

Salvaging temperature and humidity dials

A few month ago my wall clock with temperature and humidity dials feel down from the wall and broke apart.

For the clock mechanism it probably was a good move (I would throw it out of window someday anyway, so loud it was). But temperature and humidity dials were quite useful, so I decided to keep them and reuse some day. And with my new and shiny Prusa i3 MK3 printer this day just came yesterday.
