So ive got the vive das but i wanted to see if i could use the psvr headstrap on the pimax as another option. 2 main reasons. I want to use my own headphones. I wanted to see if i could get more adjustability from it. I bought an extra broken psvr on ebay for £20. Ive spent the last 2 evenings trying to figure out a good way to do this. I wanted to keep the use of the sliding mechanism from the psvr & have as much adjustability as i could get on the other axis. Here is what i have come up with _EDIT FOR NEW DESIGN_ ![20190330_200350](https://community.openmr.com/uploads/default/original/2X/0/0fdacf6bb8a61fd608d3383199919f20ad483bff.jpeg) ![20190330_203607](https://community.openmr.com/uploads/default/original/2X/4/47d8fcdf5551d728a1bd62fd8071211bf0729749.jpeg) ![20190329_184540](https://community.openmr.com/uploads/default/original/2X/8/84419320a0022a3e9a7ba429af1f85d0a64a67d9.jpeg) ![20190329_123601](https://community.openmr.com/uploads/default/original/2X/4/45cdb906d4851fe9c191173d3d9099d8fda4bd97.jpeg) ![20190329_123910](https://community.openmr.com/uploads/default/original/2X/d/d2952b8bed9ec29df744e8cb5e9f7b91f22be972.jpeg) I used dr cubes pegged top clip from thingiverse & modified it quite a bit. It now has a strong hinge & plate to attach the psvr sliding mechanism to & i have managed to incorporate the locking lever for the sliding mechanism. It has at least some adjustability on all axis through moving the whole headstrap up & down, sliding the mechanism back & forth & tilting the hinge back & forwards. Its not perfect & the strap rides a bit higher on the forehead than with the psvr but its nice to be able to tweak for clarity a bit more easily while playing a game & release some pressure on face when needed. At the moment its a bit rough & ready & still a work in progress but its functioning ok. All ive used so far is the psvr headstrap, 4 screws from the headstrap, 1 long m5 bolt with nut & washers, the sliding mechanism locking lever from the psvr & a piece of a biro pen spring. The only tools i have used so far were a very small screwdriver, a drill for the small screw holes & to bore out the hinge a bit nicer, a pair of cutters to cut the spring & my 3d printer of course. Ive only used this for a couple hours so far so i will have a bit more of a test for problems & tweak it a bit more if needed, before i upload the hinge design but it could be useful for anyone without a vive das who may have a broken psvr lying around.

Thanks. Lol. Sometimes i dont use my printer for months & my mrs buggs me to move or get rid of it. I wouldn’t be without it for things like this though ---

this is the way that pimax need to make our audiostrap pledge…Same construction but with good headphones ---

Agreed. The adjustability is needed. Ive always thought that the psvr headstrap was one of the best. Although i have only spent a few hours using this so far, i think i like it better than the das. I do like the convenience of built in headphones & i miss them but if im sitting down for a few hours to play a game (elite dangerous or fallout for example) then using my astro a40’s is much better ---

So i need to get all those things or just print the thing on thingaverse? ---

You will need a broken psvr to get the strap off of. A 50mm m5 bolt with washers & split washers. A small spring. I cut a piece of a biro pen spring off. Tools for the job ie… very small screwdriver, 0.9 - 1mm drill bit, 5mm drill bit (optional) You have a 3d printer? Just print the 4 pieces out in strong plastic ie… abs or petg preferably. I don’t know if pla will be strong enough ---

Kudos for the cool mod 👍 For the people who can’t get their hands on a PSVR or a smiliar strap here’s a DIY example. [https://forums.highfidelity.com/t/vive-diy-replacement-head-strap-v2/12404](https://forums.highfidelity.com/t/vive-diy-replacement-head-strap-v2/12404) ---
