When I originally designed my Virtual Boy Tripod Kit, it was the most complicated design I had done up to that point. However to make everything work I needed metal nuts and screw, plus an elastic band to hold everything together.
Since I started modeling my own screws, I wanted to go back to this kit and re-design it to be properly 100% 3D printed without loosing the functionality.
And this was my result. The body’s shape is pretty much the same. However I am so please with how the mechanism works for the lock nut and thumb screw.
The screws are a bit tricky to print. But man this is so cool to slim this down.
Does it make the virtual boy less horribly uncomfortable? I’ve got two sitting in a closet somewhere
Depends on the tripod. Being able to have something more sturdy hold it is fantastic, but since it’s juts a 1/4” adapter you can adapt it to anything.
Now you’re playing with power!
How are your eyes holding up?
I can’t tell if I am still seeing red because I played the virtual boy too long… or if my eyes are just bleeding. I’ll check after this headache goes away
