FPFree Video Goggles

thingiverse

This is my contribution to the Video goggles section on thingiverse. The design is based on the VR Goggles you can find herehttp://www.thingiverse.com/thing:752547 I completly remodeled them in sketchup to implement the features I needed, for example a wider form factor for my glasses. The goggles has 2 fresnellenses ([frɛˈnɛl]) which are positioned just right for my eyes. I made some tests with friends and family which had problems using the goggles caused by the sense distance. I uploaded the sketchup file so you can make corrections as needed. I recommend to make yourself some sort of testing rig to first of all check which lense distances are best for you. The goggles were made for a 4,3" monitor. UPDATE 07/08/15: I added a frames for the fresnel lenses if yours is more on the thinner side. UPDATE 18/08/15: Now not only FPFree but also free from tangled wires. I am working on a guide to use a rc 305 to make this a standalone unit. The guide will be posted on my website, so feel free to have a look and follow me on instagram for the latest updates. http://firefly1504.myfreesites.net https://instagram.com/firefly_1504/ Instructions (Needs to be printed in ABS. If you want to follow my these instructions. If you print in PLA you need a good CA to glue the peaces together) Print the video goggles.stl and the monitor mount.stl You need to print the rectangle in the monitor mount twice. After you got all your bits and peaces. Sand it down an give it a coat of acetone. Then glue the monitor mount pieces onto the goggle in the right distance for your monitor. I added some foam into the monitor mount to press it firmly against the goggle. I also used form for the front and 40mm elastic strap from eBay.
