Garmin Varia Vision base plate for Rudy Project Rydon

thingiverse

The Garmin Varia Vision heads-up display is a remarkable piece of technology designed for riding glasses, delivering all desired information while keeping eyes focused on the road. It requires a flat edge on sunglasses for its coupling plate to function properly. Unfortunately, Rudy Project Rydon glasses have a sharp angled edge, making them incompatible with the Garmin mounting system. To resolve this issue, a compact adapter has been created to clip onto the right arm of the Rydon glasses and provide a secure platform for the coupling plate. This innovative solution effectively solves the problem at hand. Print Settings: Printer Brand: MakerBot Printer Model: MakerBot Replicator 2X Rafts: No Supports: No Resolution: Variable Infill: 100% Notes: I utilize Simplify3D as my preferred slicer for the MakerBot Replicator 2X. A two-layer process at 0.2mm is employed, followed by the remaining layers at 0.1mm to achieve a superior finish on this small component. The Simplify3D .factory file has been included for users of that software; adjustments can be made to suit individual printer requirements. Design Process: Rhino3D is utilized as the primary design tool for this project. A .3dm file has been provided, while an STL file containing both left and right adapters is also available for those without access to Rhino3D or the necessary tools. The STL adapters are not entirely symmetrical, so users may need to experiment with different options to achieve the desired result.
