DIY FPV goggles

thingiverse

I purchased the Eachine EV800 FPV goggles but was far from satisfied with their design. The goggles themselves were a nightmare to wear, and I found it impossible to slip on my regular glasses underneath them. So, I decided to tackle the problem head-on by designing my own goggle part. My first step was to create a four-part assembly in SketchUp that would snugly fit into the existing mount on the EV800 while also holding the Fresnel lens securely in place. I then 3D printed these parts, carefully glued them together, and voila - they fit like a charm! Given the intricate shape of the rest of the goggles, I knew designing and printing everything from scratch would be a time-consuming ordeal. So, I opted to build the rest of the goggles using cardboard, paper, and hot glue. To give it a more polished look and make it comfortable to wear, I wrapped the entire thing in fabric using even more hot glue. I made sure to keep the part that touches my face as large as possible so that it would fit comfortably over my glasses. To complete the design, I added some 3D printed parts to attach the original head strap from the EV800. I'm thrilled with how it turned out - the goggles are now comfortable to wear, and they even allow me to slip on my regular glasses underneath them. And if I need to remove the screen, no problem!
