Description
- Low weight (8 grams + transparency sheet)
- Low strap tension to prevent discomfort
- Fast to print (under 25 min)
- Robust
- Easy to assemble
- Wraps around the face
- Stays more than 1" away from the nose to prevent fog and discomfort
Requirements and Files
- Printer transparency or transparent binding covers (stronger).
- Trasnaprent all purpose glue. I am using the Go2 Glue with success.
- Elasic head band, approx. 5mm x 1.5mm cross section.
Assembly Process
- Sand down the printed surface that will touch the wearer's forehead with fine sandpaper.
- Cut the elastic band in 2 halves. Make one of the cuts where the loop is pre-glued.
- Fold the end of the elastic band and insert into the slot.
- Squirt glue inside the loop and along the slot.
- Squirt a small amount of glue along the transparency guide channel.
- Insert the transparency into the channel.
