Vive Lighthouse Collapsible Stand

thingiverse

This is a versatile stand designed specifically for the Vive Lighthouses that come packaged with the Vive VR system. A surprising discovery has revealed that the Vive doesn't actually demand the Lighthouses be mounted above the user as instructed in the setup guide; instead, they can be placed directly on the floor as long as they're properly connected electrically for synchronization. These stands can be utilized seamlessly alongside the TRS 50' sync cable included with the system to minimize set-up and tear-down complications. Each stand consists of a central base that's printed in three individual parts, complemented by four adjustable legs. The legs rotate and lock securely into the base, providing a stable footing for the Lighthouses. The base is fully compatible with the screw thread and ball size used in the original Vive system wall mounts; users can simply detach the screw cap, ball-and-shaft, and wing nut from the wall mounts and attach them to these printed parts.
