Ecto Goggles

thingiverse

My lenses are modeled after actual images of GBFan Lowberg's Mirax lenses and based on GBFan WShawn's STL model. I modified his STL model by breaking it down into four pieces to rotate like the original Mirax Laborec lenses. The AN/PVS-5 Night Vision Goggles were modeled from a pair I own. The STL files are set to higher quality to reduce flat spots around the circumference of the lenses. The thumb screws are from McMaster Carr, but I wouldn't bother printing them out. The lenses have a 4-40 thread size and can be tapped using a 4-40 tap for the thumb screws and a 10/24 tap for the base. All other screws can be purchased from McMaster or other places to attach the lenses to the plate and accent the goggle frames. Snap buttons can be bought on Amazon, while original snaps were from DOT but they no longer carry them. Make sure to leave the truss head screw loose on the plate so the bottom lenses rotate. Clean out the grooves of the upper lenses when using supports. I printed several test pieces using PLA-X3 and PLA, getting better results with regular PLA. Close-up pictures of my real NVG goggles showing snaps and labels are also provided.
