Rokid Max Node Piece - Bridge Style

thingiverse

Some Rokid Max owners, including myself have issues with the bottom of the image being cut-off because the included nose stems do not allow the glasses to sit low enough on the face. This replacement nose piece was designed to help alleviate that problem. Note that I previously published a different replacement nose piece for the Rokid Max [here](https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:6045693). While that nose piece workes fine to get the full image from the Rokid Max in view, I found that it also has a tendency to shift on my nose over time. We're talking very tiny shifts here, but with these glasses the tolerance on the sweet spot is so small that it doesn't take much movement before the top or bottom edge, or one of the corners start to subtly creep out of view. In addition to being much more robust, as there are no thin parts that are likely to break over time, I've also found this design to be much more stable when it comes to the glasses staying where you put them on your face. Hence, once the sweet spot is centered, it tends to stay centered. I find this design to be about as comfortable as the other design, though comfort is a very subjective thing. Between this design and the other design I recommend trying this one first, and if it doesn't work for you, try the [other design](https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:6045693). The STL file itself prints flat and then will need to be bent with a slight angle in the stem. This can be accomplished by running the stem under hot water or dipping it in a bowl of hot water to soften it a bit, and then using a pair of needle nose pliers to bend the stem forward very slightly. When installed, the front edge of the nose support should have the same angle as the front side of the lens enclosures themselves. You are going to want to use a jewelers file and/or sandpaper to sand the edges smooth so that you can't feel the edges when pressed against the nose. While not strictly required, I strongly recommend adding some [plasti-dip](https://www.walmart.com/ip/Plasti-Dip-Spray-Multi-Purpose-Rubber-Coating-Black-11oz/21015329) to the front surface of the nose piece. This further softens the support, and also helps prevent slippage. I used the dip-style of plasti-dip, and while that worked fine, my finish is a bit un-even. I feel that several coats with the spray style of plasti-dip will likely give better results. As always, every nose is different, so your mileage may vary.
