Before starting, watch the video screencast of the CAD drawing actually being done in the software.

Earphones can vary slightly in diameter, so first
check that the 16mm on this diagram will work for
your particular headphones.
Also, different 3D printers have different levels of
print accuracy. Typically, they will print small
apertures a little tighter than the measurement on
your CAD drawing, so check whether you need to
make the hole slightly larger to allow for tolerances
with your 3D printer.
Print time is
30 minutes on the Makerbot Replicator 2X
50 minutes on the UP Plus 2.
