Even Easier Print of DIY Quest 2 Elite Head Strap Support

thingiverse

Remix of Jiraiken's remix of Kreanym's design (thanks guys for work on a difficult 3D object!). https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4629958 https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4635427 I wanted a simple print without the battery compartment just to wear for comfort. The Quest 2 is a really great value VR headset, and no doubt the strap arrangement is part of that deal so no complaints but I do find the strap uncomfortable on the back of the head as a result. Also prefer to print without supports where possible as less waste and clean-up time. This is a very simple edit - chopping off the battery compartment, reducing the screw sockets in depth and adding slopes to the sockets to allow for printing with zero support. A good first layer adhesion is essential as this is a tall object with a small footprint so it can work loose. [tip: if you print on painters tape or other disposable medium - having a bottle of superglue and accelerator spray handy to squirt around the base will allow you to save a print rather than see it fail at 90%!!). Printed at standard 0.2mm and 25% infill easily strong enough if your layer adhesion is good. Needed very little clean up afterwards other than a light edge scraping. Original strap clips printed from Kreanym's design attached as suggested with a few spare HD drive mount type screws after a quick drill to clean the holes. Glued packing foam to the inside and trimmed for additional comfort. [If using a solvent-based glue do test first to ensure it isn't going to react/melt your foam or print]. Its very comfortable - all credit to the original designer.
