Index front cover based on the original cover, but with fans mounted on the outside, for when you need space for face tracking inside.
I recommend also printing some fan grilles to protect the fans from the cables.
I used this one:

There is also an 6.2mm wide opening for a slide switch, and a 13mm wide flat spot to glue the switch to next to the internal usb so you can turn on and off your fans, or your fans and your face tracking in my case. I yoinked the switch from some cheap battery powered fairy lights I had laying around, but looking around a bit I think it might be a SK12F14?

If you find the fans a bit too close to fit your face tracking bits inside, there is a blender file attacked where you can move the fan mount in and out to suit your needs.


I was inspired by this, exept I wanted my fans on the outside:
