HTC Vive Headstrap

Hvaing long play sessions and party sessions with friends the original strap starts getting annoying and not really comfortable, especially the re-adjusting it to every players head for a good fit and view through the lenses.

I saw the welding mask mods but I wanted to try and build it myself, so after a lot of trail and error I found a system that works great.

The straps can be adjusted to fit most head sizes and tightened with a ratchet knob in the back. It tightens and loosens with the knob with will stay in place when tightened.

I pirinted all black parts in TPC filament for a flexible fit and all the other parts in PETG and PLA for stiffness.

The straps on the side of the head go high enough so a full size headphone will fit without any problem.

Post-Printing

After printing you can assemble everything with M3 dome head screws and some nuts of your choosing.

When your most optimal fit has been achieved use some foam on the inside to line the straps with so you don't have screws pressing into your skull and break your immersion.
