Panasonic Viera 3D Eyewear battery cover w.o. nose wings

thingiverse

Hi there! I'm excited to share a little pet project of mine with you. A friend's Panasonic Viera TV has me frequently using the TV glasses for watching 3D Blu-ray movies. Since Panasonic seems to dislike people who wear glasses, the nose wings on their 3D glasses are not removable. This forces me to use the TY-ER3D5ME / TPCD32601 Glasses with a huge gap between the real and 3D glasses. This causes the 3D glasses to sit awkwardly on the tip of my nose, and the space creates annoying reflections between the glasses. Luckily, the nose wings are part of the battery cover, which allows me to replace the cover with a wingless version. I simply printed the replacement cover and was thrilled. My nose thanks me! I recommend printing with a 0.1mm layer height and without supports. Supports can be fiddly and should be avoided as this piece is quite detailed and small. This model may work with other 3D glasses, but I'm including the source file so you can use it to adapt my cover plate if needed.
