Description
This Is A 2-Piece Pocket Sized Cardboard Vr Viewer For Mobile Devices. If You Don'T Know What Google Cardboard Is, Check It Out: Https://Vr.Google.Com/Cardboard/ The Pocket Cardboard Version Should Be Compatible With Most Cardboard Apps, And You Just Have To Tap The Screen Instead Of Using A Button-Lever To Tap The Screen For Input. I Designed This From Scratch As Part Of A 3D Printing Contest. I Did Not Win But Had Fun. Around The Time I Created It, I Tweeted Some Interesting Apps That Worked Well With My Phone, A 1St Gen Moto X: Https://Twitter.Com/Printedvr On First Setup, You Might Need To Point Your Camera At The Qr Code, Included In The Thingiverse Files, Which Embeds Information Like The Distance Between Lenses, And Whether You Can Touch The Screen, Etc. It Is Included In The Files Here, Or On The Right At This Url: Http://Virtualme.Github.Io/Pocketcardboardgetstarted.Png Instructions: In Addition To The 2 Printed Parts, You Will Need A Pair Of 25Mm Diameter, 45Mm Focal Distance Biconvex Lenses. Searching Ebay Or Amazon For Cardboard Lenses Will Turn Up Plenty. You Will Need To Print One Lens Kit (One Of The Models With "Lens" In The Name) And One Spacer Clip. Then Wedge The Lenses Into The Kit If The Fit Is Good Or Superglue Them In Place. Once The Lenses Are Fixed In Place, You Can Slide The Spacer Clip Onto The Lens Kit Until It Snaps Into Place, Then Use The S-Clamp On The Spacer To Hang It Over Your Phone. Open A Cardboard App And Be On Your Way! Use The Small Tab On The End Of The Spacer Clip To Unlock Its Position And Slide It Off When You Are Done. On Choosing Which Size To Print: I Got Lucky The First Few Times I Printed Using The 250 Um Lens Kit Version Above In Pla On An Ultimaker 2, And The Lenses Just Wedged In Snugly. After That, With Different Printers And Materials, I Had To File Away The Opening, Even At 255Um Size. Eventually I Just Went With A 260 Um Opening And Glued The Lenses In Place. This Was By Far The Most Consistent Way To Go, And Is My Recommendation. For The Spacers, The Numbers Are The Distance In Mm Across The Narrowest Part. I Found A Size 10 Worked Really Well On A 1St Gen Moto X With No Case Or A Very Thin Case. With A Thicker Case, I Had To Go Up To Size 13. Some Friends With Iphone (6 Or 7, I Can'T Remember) Did Well With The Size 7, If I Recall Correctly. If You Need To Make A New Size, Please Share Back! I Have A 3Mm Spaced One Somewhere, But I Don'T Think It Ever Actually Fit Any Phone I Tried, So Didn'T Upload. At One Point, I Tried A 2-Part Spacer With A Different Size Gap On Each Side, But It Was Difficult To Change, And I Prefer Less Complicated But More Custom Designs When 3D Printing.
