SlimeVR Glove-mounted IMU (BMI160)

thingiverse

Update 25/2/24: I uploaded a new version to fix a pretty big design oversight. Permanently sewing the IMU to a glove would make it nearly impossible to wash the glove without damaging the electronics. V3 is essentially identical to V2, but has been modified to split the whole thing into a base and a box for the IMU that clips very firmly into it, making it possible to detach the IMU when washing the glove. I suggest using this version, although v2 will remain available. Also made the lids a bit thicker, they felt a bit flimsy.The purpose of this design is to mount a SlimeVR AUX tracker to your hand, with the smallest footprint possible. Each shell is about 27x31mm, and 9mm in height (not counting the curvature). Comparison with the size of a hyperion aux tracker can be seen in the photos.Unlike standard mounts, this one is designed to be sewn to the back of a glove through the holes in the model. The bottom of the tracker is curved to rest more comfortably against the back of the hand. The lid is meant to be held in place with glue.It only fits BMI160 through pressure fitting, and it's made to take a JST PH 2.0mm 5 pin connector to make it possible to replace/change the wire easily. Printing with supports is required! there's really no good angle you can make these without supports due to the bottom curvature. I suggest printing them with that side face down and then sanding it smooth.
