pimax 5k/8k psvr headstrap adapter

prusaprinters

<p>I wanted to create a pimax headstrap which would have more adjustment then the vive das &amp; would allow me to use my own headphones.</p> <p>I took a headstrap from a broken psvr &amp; created a headstrap adapter which has at least some adjustment on all axis.<br/> you can move the whole headstrap up &amp; down, you can slide the hmd in &amp; out on the psvr slider &amp; it can also be tilted up &amp; down on the hinge.<br/> The psvr headstrap rides a little higher on the forehead than on the psvr but it works fine still.<br/> Its nice to be able to easily tweak the pimax hmd position on the go for clarity &amp; makes it easier to pass the hmd to friends &amp; family for this reason.<br/> Its also nice to relieve pressure from your face on longer play sessions.<br/> Also you will be able to achieve a better fit than with the vive das, if you have a smaller head.</p> <p>I used drcube's excellent pimax top clip as a starting point &amp; added a strong hinge to it.<br/> this hinge then attaches to a plate which is attached to the psvr headstrap using the 4 screws which came off of it.<br/> The psvr slider locking lever goes in to lock the slide.<br/> Finally a cover angled similarly to the pimax hmd, slides over the hinge to cover it all up.<br/> I found that this cover was tight enough not to move in abs, but if it is moving then you can drill a small hole on the underside through to the hinge &amp; secure it using another screw from the donor psvr.</p> <p>parts you will need are:<br/> 1: A broken/donor psvr for the headstrap<br/> 2: very small screwdriver<br/> 3: Small drill bit for the screw holes. I used both 0.9 mm &amp; 1 mm. both worked fine<br/> 4: 5 mm drill bit to clean up the hinge hole (optional but makes things easier)<br/> 5: Small spring. I cut a small piece off of a biro pen<br/> 6: M5 bolt at least 45 mm long (i used 50 mm) with washers &amp; optional spring washers. Even better would be a thumb bolt &amp; or thumb nut for easier adjustment.</p> <p>I would advise printing both parts of the hinge out of a tough plastic like abs or petg etc.. as the hinge is going to be under some pressure from the bolt &amp; will take some stress from adjusting.<br/> I printed mine in abs &amp; it seems to be strong enough so far.<br/> The slide on cover will be fine printed in pla if you like &amp; secured with a screw on the underside.<br/> I have only printed this in abs so far so it may need a little adjustment for plastics with different characteristics.</p> <p>The slide on cover will need supports in its current orientation, but you shouldn't need any support for the rest.</p> <p>Although i have currently come to a resting point i am happy with, i am treating this as still a work in progress &amp; i may need to make future adjustments after more use.</p> <p>Any problems, just write in the comments.</p> <p>Enjoy &amp; if you found this useful it would be great if you could give it some feedback, a like or even post a make ;-)</p> <h3> Print Settings</h3> <p><strong>Printer Brand:</strong></p> <p>Prusa</p> <p><p class="detail-setting printer"><strong>Printer: </strong> <div><p>i3 MK2S</p></div><strong>Resolution:</strong></p> <p>various 0.15 - 0.35. 0.2 is a good balance</p> <p><p class="detail-setting infill"><strong>Infill: </strong> <div><p>20% on cover 100% or high shell thickness for hinge parts</p></div><br/> <strong>Filament:</strong><br/> prusa abs black <br/> <p class="detail-setting notes"><strong>Notes: </strong> </p><div><p>I would advise 100% infill or a high shell thickness for hinge parts<br/> support material for cover</p> <p>I use a large clear plastic box over my whole printer for printing abs</p> <p>I use a 5mm brim on all my abs prints</p> </div></p></p></p> Category: Other
