I mean I probably went a little overkill (although I'm sure you could find a way to over-complicate it further) but I'm glad you enjoyed it, it was one of those stupid little questions that's been on my mind for a while aswell.

Thanks for mentioning this, I'd completely forgotten!

Yeah, but that costs like $40, when instead I can spend $300 on a printer and get it for free..... Now that I think about it this isn't a super economical decision

Usually corn plastic is used, not sure if this is the case.

Not sure if I want that kinda thing on my conscience, sounds pretty risky on your part!

Shit, I literally just dismantled this project last week. But I will give a crack at explaining it. Essentially it's just a bunch of strain relief, the vufine is mounted (fairly) rigidly so that it does not want to move, but crucially, the cables are strain-relieved to the faceshield-visor-thing, and the whole cable loom is then sent together inside the sleeve and, again, aggressively zip-tied to the plastic frame. I also used the DB-15 (VGA) cable connectors because of the rigidity and stability they provide (here is the thingiverse link to the DB-15 mount: www.thingiverse.com/thing:5210150). Essentially though, as long as your vufine is mounted securely to your head (probably the hardest task, as it is designed to secure to a pair of flimsy glasses), and your cables are securely strain-relieved to your vufine mount, you should be ok. If I was to do this a fourth time (which I probably will in a year or two) I would most likely build a strain reliever similar to the one found on the EVA carriage system (main.eva-3d.page/hex_nuts/core/corexy/) I have uploaded my vufine mount to thingiverse, it's far from a design that I'm proud of, but you might want to consider adapting or copying Vufine_holder__2.STL (www.thingiverse.com/thing:5210181) to suit your needs, as the stock magnetic vufine mount is hot garbage, it is the flimsiest thing known to man, and yes, without proper cable strain-relief, it will 100% jerk out of your field of view if you're doing anything other than a C3PO impression. Anyways, this was a ramble, I hope it helps, I can dig through my footage once I'm off work if you need a quick picture of the mount assembly and cable management. Other than that, happy making, I will be interested to see how this project turns out!

@@Noahmakesthings Thanks for the quick response. I just found a deal on eBay and bought one last month, but I had a bunch of stuff that has deadlines (and therefore priority). I wish I had seen this before the take down!

🏃‍♂️________🔪👹

Yup its stuttering, also your content is good man why haven't you popped off yet

@@davidtanner2910 Thanks! For both the feedback, and the encouragement! I guess I'll have to look into this issue for next time, I was really hoping it was just a my computer issue

The same ones will work, as long as you are magnifying the screens, it should create a virtual image the desired distance from your face. There is some math to do for your virtual image distance to lens magnification ratio, but it's not too complex. If you're buying lenses from scratch and looking for a thin profile, I used fresnel lenses (which aren't super common in VR as I believe they can introduce artifacts)

@@Noahmakesthings thank you bro. Greatly appreciated. Isn't vr headset standalone or cardboard both use frensel lenses? You should also make a "how to make" video on open source google cardboard like augmented reality headset for smartphones which will work for androids google arcore. Like those cardboard so cal holokit and aryzon.

@shadow of fire I think it depends on the model of VR headset, I've definitely seen some without fresnels, but that could just be lower end versions. I made a Googlr cardboard a couple years back using non-fresnels and it worked perfectly fine, they should be interchangeable, but fresnel lenses are just flatter. That would come with extra manufacturing cost in glass, however I used a couple of those plastic card magnifiers which were a couple cents each.

I love it! That sounds like an awesome application for this! Although you might want to check the legality of it where you live. And if you get the same screen as me (SSD1306 i2c OLED) you might have a brightness issue (unless you helmet is tinted of course).

I did not believe that it would actually cook it that much, and as far as the searing goes... enough people have mentioned that, and maybe I should actually do it
