Headset_3D_Designs

The Vis3r Open Source 3D printable headset - STL and STEP source files.

At current prices, you ought to be able to print this and get all the electronic components that you need for less than €75, although this changes on a daily basis. The components are often on special offer on AliExpress & Banggood, so it really pays to shop around.

The Headset was designed by Justin, the CAD files for the MIPI and HDMI boards were kindly provided by Bio Toa7

The headset has finished Beta Testing

Here we are in early 2021, just coming out of virus lockdown - which unfortunately stopped our project development for what seemed like forever. However, we have still managed to finish Beta testing the headset and have finally released it out into the wild. The entire design was done from scratch in Autodesk Fusion 360 using one of their free licenses. The original F360 files can be given to anyone who needs them, so just ask.

If you find a problem, please post an issue and we will do our best to fix it ASAP.

Basic printing instructions

The headset is made of three main components, some of which have multiple parts. The entire design is purpose made to print with no supports. You shouldn't need to use a Skirt either, although a small Brim is probably a good idea.

The Visual_Guide, Screen_Holder and Lens_Slides

As these incorporate screw threads and sliding components, you need to print with these settings:

  • NO SUPPORTS
  • 95% Infill
  • 2 perimiter walls
  • 4 Top Layers, 4 bottom layers

There are actually almost no "thick" areas, so they are very lightweight. A layer height of 0.2 or 0.24 is fine for these.

The Main Body

As long as you print this with 2 perimiter walls, you can drop the infill down to 5% - & you will still find that they are rock solid. Again, they are designed specifically to print with NO SUPPORTS. Because they are almost completely hidden by the Outer_Shell, you can easily print these with a layer height of 0.24 or 0.28, and I would definitely not advise any lower than 0.2

  • NO SUPPORTS
  • 5% Infill
  • 2 perimiter walls
  • 4 Top Layers, 4 bottom layers

The Outer Shell

The Outer Shell is basically a twin wall shell with a four layer lip at the bottom. As it has nothing that could ever be described as "thick", you can print it with these settings:

  • NO SUPPORTS
  • 95% Infill
  • 2 perimiter walls
  • 4 Top Layers, 4 bottom layers

Again, a layer height of 0.2 works beautifully for this, although even with 0.24 and 0.28 it's hard to tell the difference.

The Fasteners

The Main Body is clipped together with eight round pegs and two triangular bars. These are not load bearing and as such can also very happily be printed with our 5% infill, twin perimiter wall and four top/bottom layers.
