EDTracker mount for HyperX Cloud II headset
Description
This Is A Mounting Bracket For An Edtracker Gyroscopic-Based Head-Tracker To A Hyperx Cloud Ii Headset. --- Update 30-Jun-2017: After Several Months Using The Original Design, I Found That The Mini-Usb Connector Was Failing. Believe It Or Not When The Headphones Were Opened (I.E., Put On Or Taken Off), Even Though The Usb Cord Was Restrained At The Ear Cup, That Motion Still Caused Some Movement And Stress At The Tracker'S Usb Connector. So, I Incorporated A Cord Strain Relief Channel Into The Bracket To Ensure Zero Movement At The Connector. --- If You Don'T Know What An Edtracker Is, See Http://Www.Edtracker.Org.Uk For Diy, Or Http://Www.Edtracker.Co.Uk For A Pre-Built Unit. I Opted To Build My Own, But Rather Than Sourcing The Parts, I Got A Complete Kit From Http://Hobbycomponents.Com/Home/440-Diy-Head-Tracker-Bundle -- The Only Other Thing You Need Is A Long Usb Micro B Cable. I Highly Recommend It. --- This Thing Is A Non-Invasive/Non-Damaging Mount For The Edtracker In A Hammond 1551Gbk Plastic Enclosure (That Came With My Kit); It Requires No Glue, Sticky Pads, Rubber Bands, Etc., And Can Easily Be Removed. There Are Four Parts, One You Need To Print Twice For A Total Of Five Pieces. Print 2 "Headband Clamp Half" Parts; It'S A Mirror-Image Part That Forms The "Base Clamp" That Is Held Together When You Slide The Edtracker Bracket Onto It (Via Tongue-And-Groove). Once That Is Fastened To The Headband, The Edtracker Can Be Slid Into The Bracket. It'S A Snug Fit, And Should Actually Flex A Bit, Keeping The Two Clamp Halves Snugly Together. Next, Slide The Cord Restraint Onto The Metal "T" That Holds The Ear Cup, Then Slide The Cord Restraint Clip Around The Restraint And The Metal To Hold It In Place. There Are Two Slots (At The Top And Bottom) Designed To Hold A 4Mm Usb Cable (E.G., The Braided Nylon Type) . The Cord Restraint Prevents Any Undue Tension On The Usb Connecter Of The Edtracker. Then I Just Used Some Pieces Of Harness Spiral Wrap Every Several Inches To Keep The Headset And Edtracker Cords Together.
