Replacement top for HTC Vive Desk stand for older Vive headsets

thingiverse

I printed out the HTC Vive Desk Stand by Marcos10Soares, which I found online. To my surprise, my vive hmd had a slightly different design than the one on the thingiverse page. Specifically, the top part that holds the headset didn't have anything to grip it in place. It seemed like they replaced the traditional strap buckle with a metal loop on mine, but the design still had a solid piece instead. I took matters into my own hands and created a replacement top part for this old design of vive hmd. This new part has a tine that fits perfectly over the metal loop in the buckle, holding the headset firmly in place so it doesn't fall down onto the base of the stand. If you're like me and have an older version of the vive hmd, don't worry! You can still print the base as is from the thingiverse page and use this new top part to secure your headset.
