thingiverse

Human: A high-performance system for ventilating the Vive Pro headset; forces cool, dry outside air into the headset to push out hot, humid air. Simple dial on top controls speed and power. Material List: 13x #6-32 x 1/2in Machine screws and hex nut (available in large packs at Lowes) 2x BFB0505LA-C (https://www.digikey.com/products/en?keywords=BFB0505LA) 1x Onyehn DC 4-12V 5W USB Fan Stepless Governor USB Fan Speed Controller (https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07Q1HDG3T/ref=cm_sw_r_tw_dp_U_x_w9YxDbGDDFXDX) 1x USB-C to USB adapter (https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07V69DBYT/ref=cm_sw_r_tw_dp_U_x_A.YxDb87T0SV2) Fan Controller fits securely in place. Fans have a tight fit and are secured with zip ties (3 zip ties each). Assemble the L-Brackets and Fan Vents together to form two assemblies. Slide them on sideways relative to the HMD, then assemble the clips, connector rod, and Fan Control Housing together (see reference pictures). Ensure the small pins on the clips drop into the holes on the HMD. Notes: 1: The fan controller can supply up to 8V! Fans are rated for 5.5V (180deg of rotation on the dial) and may be damaged if exceeded (a rate limiting dial will be designed in the future). 2: Vents are designed for maximum coverage when lenses are set as far in as possible. If set further out, lower vents may not be completely covered, decreasing efficiency. Recommend covering exposed areas with tape. 3: Supports are necessary; vents are oriented for optimal bridging. 4: If unsure of print orientation, check build plate image or STL. 5: Clips are available at https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3371897
