Night Vision Helmet

thingiverse

Here is a functional Night Vision Helmet, using InfraRed LEDs, that allows you to be the only one seeing everything around you when no one can see anything. This is just the 3D printed parts needed to make this project. To complete it, you will need: - To modify a sport camera (such as a GoPro) by removing the InfraRed filter. There are many tutorials on YouTube that explain how to do this. I made mine using one of those tutorials. - A 42mm diameter converging lens, which can be found in all cheap VR headsets. - A 20x20mm InfraRed LED (near InfraRed). You can buy it for a low price on Banggood. - A 20x20x20mm heatsink. Otherwise, the InfraRed LED will get warm quickly. - A 25x25x11mm RC fan. These three items are available for cheap on Banggood. - An old skate helmet, which you will screw all the parts onto. The dovetails (which can be stopped with an M5 bolt) allow you to adjust the ocular to your eye. The LED and fan run on 5 volts, and I simply connected them to a USB plug and used a cheap power bank. Other holes are made for 3x16mm screws. The camera holder helmet fix is made for a 4mm axis.
