Virtual Boy Headset As featured on JustSomeRetroGamer's Youtube series. [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O9N0yqQFuRIr](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O9N0yqQFuRI) Congratulations, you are like JustSomeRetroGamer and are crazy for wanting to strap a Virtual Boy to your head but this will potentially do it. If you like this you should check out JustSomeRetroGamer on YouTube as this was entirely made for him. This is intended as a non permanent attachment to a Virtual Boy console allowing the user to wear it as a head set rather then use the stand. This is not a project for the faint of heart and requires a considerably amount of print time and potentially some modification for your own setup. There is some adjustment built in to the design, but this is not guaranteed to meet your needs. It is far from perfect, but after a year of working on this project off and on, it is close enough. What you need! 1 x Helmet with a compatible NVG Mount. 3 x Springs, 4.5MM OD 15MM Uncompressed, 6MM Compressed .25mm Wire Diameter 4 x M3 x 12 SHCS 10 x M3 x 8 FHSHCS 6 x M5 x 15 BHCS 1 x M5 x 15 SHCS 1 x M5 Flat Washer (Optional) I used a ATAIRSOFT Tactical Airsoft Paintball MICH 2000 Helmet with Side Rail & NVG Mount purchased thru Amazon. The 4.5mm springs were from Paper Mate ComfortMate Ultra 1.0M Pens. The Knob on the M5 SHCS is intended to be heat set, or glued. I did have to use a Dremel to cut out part of the helmet's brim to make clearance for the Virtual boy, other wise the rest of the assembly is pretty strait forward. 4-26-2021 Added addition exploded view with location of HMCap
