Oculus Quest 2 DIY Elite Strap with integrated battery holder
Description
*5/1/2021 update: I just uploaded v6 which works better for larger heads, and is less likely to break during removal of supports.* This is a remix of the excellent design "Oculus Quest 2 Elite Strap_V2_NAVIDA DESIGN", here: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4630780. I tested several designs from Thingiverse, and this was my favorite thanks to its simplicity and its comfort. It's a big improvement in comfort from the stock strap! The main change I made was to include an integrated holder for a 5000mAh power bank. I also modified the tabs to hold the strap more reliably than the original design. The power bank this is designed for is the PowerAdd EnergyCell 5000, just $15 on Amazon. I didn't want to go too big with the battery, I think this size is a good balance between battery life and bulk/weight. I haven't timed to see how much battery life I can get, but the stock Quest 2 battery is 3640mAh so this should more than double it. The power bank just snaps right into place. Use a 1-foot USB-A to type-C cable to connect the power bank to the headset. I recommend applying a thin layer of foam padding for improved comfort. One word of warning: the supports are a real pain to remove. If you have a dual extruder, I would definitely recommend using soluble supports here. I was able to use normal supports but you have to be careful so as to not break anything when removing them. I'm including the native Solidworks file and a STEP file in case anybody wants to do a remix. Enjoy!
