HTC VIVE DAS Weight Balance

<p>Attachment for HTC VIVE Deluxe Audio Strap to hold 4 18650 battery as counterweight on the back of the headset. Inspired by this battery holder: <a href="https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2674472">https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2674472</a> and recreated from scratch.</p> <p>After testing a raw weight attached with tape and seeing the noticeable increase in comfort the counterweight produces, I made this simple (and detachable) system to add from 1 to 4 18650 batteries to the back of the deluxe audio strap.<br/> It brings a completely new level of comfort to the vive, the pressure to the face is practically gone and the distributed weight makes it feel like it is lighter.</p> <h3>Print instructions</h3><p>Files in version 3.1 solve few issues with v3, all parts are made to be printed without supports. I printed with Prusament PETG at 0.15 mm layer height, 240C/90C, infill 15%.<br/> The battery holders can be glued or, as I did, attached with strong double-sided tape.<br/> The locking insert at the bottom might require a bit of sanding to make a good fit and a small screw to completely block it in position (with the tight fit is not really necessary but the hole was there...).</p>
