Pimax Comfort Mod

thingiverse

This is a DIY mod for the Pimax 8k series inspired by the Pimax "Comfort Kit". It spreads the weight of the headset over a larger forehead area to make it more comfortable. Thanks to [krazycanuck2011](https://www.thingiverse.com/krazycanuck2011/designs) for suggesting this and for testing the design. There are two versions: *normal* and *narrow face*. You will need to make a larger foam gasket for it than the pimax comes with. I'm experimenting with a sheet of memory foam cut to size and attached it to the comfort mod by wrapping it with hockey tape, as pictured. The tape was not very comfortable to the skin, so I'm going to cover it with fabric. The memory foam I used is 1", but not very dense so it compresses easily. It was maybe 1/2 as thick after wrapping it. A thinner foam might work better depending on the type of foam you get. I used a strip of adhesive velcro at the left and right edge of the mod to stick it to the headset. It felt pretty secure with just that. It was designed for use with the vive deluxe audio strap, but should also work well with the original Pimax strap.
