VR Headset Prop

VR Headset for Cosplay/costuming.

I was putting together a Shadowrun Decker for a local convention. Well, every dystopic sci-fi hacker needs a decent VR Headset! Unfortunately, my Google Cardboard VR is large, bulky, and frankly, looks absolutely ridiculous. So, I fired up 123D and designed my own!

This is modelled for my head, so if you have a larger skull, this will probably not work without some tweaking and resizing.

Print with supports, 3-4 shells, 10-15% infill (unless you want it to be dense).

Post-Processing, I took a dremel and cleaned out the grooves. I lightly sanded the front and back, to smooth out where the supports were. I then painted it, followed by gluing in some IV tubing filled with UV reactive paint in the grooves. It came out a little rough, but I rushed the last part of this. I used a simple strap with velcro to attach it to my head. I wore this thing for about 6 hours on my forehead, and it didn't really bother me much. It's modelled such that if you don't wear glasses, you could actually wear this in front of your eyes like a plastic blindfold. I wouldn't recommend this, though.
