Oculus CV1 Air flow Duct

thingiverse

Like everyone I was tired of my VR headset getting hot and humid inside after a relatively short time. I'm the type that can spend 3 plus hours in VR sculpting at a sitting so it just wasn't fun for me. So I whipped up this little duct to fit a blower motor, the stock cooling blower from a CR-10s after I had upgraded the print head. Its power source is a usb cable. I had to drill 2 holes in the oculus face shield to allow air in. I used a 3rd part, narrow cushion ring. Which brand I don't recall. The measurements might be a little off with the original but shouldn't be too bad. Blower can be press fit or can use the screws that came off with it from the CR-10. I press fit and used a bit of aluminum tape to secure. No mounting is provided yet as the double sided tape I used to mock up to get measurements worked so well I just left it. Because I'm lazy. You may also have to tack the ends to the cushion rings with a drop of glue or some such, as this was not designed to be an easy, snap fit. I just wanted a quick way to cool my face without having to crank down the AC and blast fans at me. Now I have a gentle breeze moving through the face space at all times.
