Quick change wall mount for HTC Vive Lighthouse

thingiverse

I've added a home base version with the same hole pattern as the stock mount, so you don't have to drill new holes. I've also created a "Home Stubby" version that's only about 60mm by 90mm and should fit on an M3D printer. This mount uses a tapered sliding dovetail joint from woodworking to allow the Vive Light house to be quickly and securely mounted and unmounted without any tools or complex mechanisms. The benefits of this mechanism are that its friction-based joint is fundamentally wobble-free and it's unaffected by poor printer tolerance. The mount consists of two parts. The first part is a puck that's mounted to the Lighthouse base. It should be assembled in this order: screw head, puck, lighthouse base, nut. Make sure the puck is oriented so the screw head sits in the counterbore. The second part is a wall-mounted groove plate to accept the puck. It must be mounted wide side up and can be securely screwed to a wall or used with double-sided tape or Velcro if you're feeling bold. I have a set of groove plates permanently mounted in my Vive space, along with a travel set using Velcro command strips. When setting up at a friend's house, I leave the mating Velcro strips on the wall, making it easy to set up again in the future. To use the assembled mount, align the puck to the groove (wide ends up) and slide the puck firmly down into the groove. Everything should tighten up and be wobble-free. To remove the Light house, simply lift it out of the groove. This design was created using OnShape, so if you have an account, you can copy and remix the part to suit your needs.
