Note4VR Version 4

thingiverse

A few key improvements over my initial design. Now has an even better version which can support more phones seamlessly. Works flawlessly with a Note4 in an Otter Box enclosure, but it's worth noting that it also works without the enclosure although may require some adjustments for optimal fit. 1) I added 38mm and 48mm lens holders as an option to cater to diverse needs 2) Increased the clearance around the nose area for ultimate comfort 3) Boosted the surface area for application of 3/4" weather stripping 4) Swapped out the top strap fixture with a clip like the sides allowing you to easily remove the straps for hand-held operation To bring this design to life, you'll need to print 3 pieces instead of 2 - simply print twice and discard one of them. There's no need for supports at all. Unfortunately, I didn't touch the original STL so it still only contains 2 prints. One key thing to note is that the magnet trigger can be quite quirky on the GC design. After experimenting, I found that dragging the magnet down to the bottom of the slider and continuing to pull while rocking it counter-clockwise around ~45 degrees tends to get it working properly. Update: I recently stumbled upon a reliable supplier offering large (48mm) lenses at an affordable price point - $4.50 each for the L7315 or L7128 glass lens. Print the larger holder if you choose either of these options. I've had success with this setup although depending on your prescription, it may not provide enough space. Don't worry, I'm working on an updated viewer with more room between the phone and lenses for increased flexibility. For a smooth user experience: Follow the provided instructions carefully Consider yourself as someone who likes extra support so I recommend adding multiple layers of weather stripping
