    real or 3D printer made

    I placed a bid on a microphone, but upon zooming in, I suspect it might be a fake. It appears as though someone created it using a 3D printer, and upon examining the soldering for the battery wires, I have my doubts about its authenticity. and no stickers even on volume take a look=...
