HTC Vive Lighthouse Quick Wall Mounts

thingiverse

I needed a solution to mount and demount HTC Vive mounts and Lighthouses from the wall quickly when we weren't using VR. A more discreet installation was desired, safely holding the Lighthouses while allowing for rapid setup and takedown. I created a quick-mounting bracket that attaches to the wall, with a slide-in part that the Lighthouse mount secures to. The bracket also features a logo plate to hide when the Lighthouses aren't in place, making it less noticeable, or a completely blank plate if preferred. Depending on your printer, some initial sticking between slides and the bracket may occur. I added clearance to minimize this issue, but you'll want a secure fit to prevent the Lighthouses from vibrating or shifting. You can wear in the slide for the Lighthouse ball mount by setting it in place, then sliding it in and out until it no longer grabs. The Lighthouse ball mounts attach to slides with #8-32x3/8" machine screws and 8-32 nuts in the pocket on the back of each slide. A well-stocked hardware store should have these parts readily available. These quick-mounting brackets work great, allowing for fast setup and teardown when you don't want to leave Lighthouses up all the time.
