Vive head mount mod

Parametric 3d-printable welding headband mod to replace the original Vive head strap.

What you need for this mod

  • 3M Speedglas 9100 Welding Headband, although might only need to tweak a few parameters to make the 3d-printed parts fit another brand.

  • 2X screws that fit in the holes on the sides of the headband. The ones used for this headband are 5mm in diameter.

  • 2X Wing nuts that fits the screws.

  • 2X large diameter washers that covers enough area of the distance adjustment slots.

  • 4X 3mm diameter width screws for connecting the printed parts with the HMD through the steel loops.

  • 4X washers that cover some area around the 3mm screws on both sides.

  • 2X 3mm diameter nuts.

Headphones version

  • Koss Porta Pro headphones.
  • 2X 4mm diameter, roughly 25mm length screws.
  • 2X 4mm diameter nuts.

Note: I haven't yet managed to make the headphones line up well enough to be comfortable so the mount brackets need to be be adjusted. I also didn't put holes for fastening the headphones as I wanted to try it out first so holes need to be drilled.

Todo

  • Find a better fit for the headphones.
  • Add instructions for creating Velcro middle strap.
  • Detailed construction guide.
  • Revised design with built in On-ear headphones.
