A project log for Easy "Pancake Lenses"

Because paying $2k for a piece of plastic is BS. IPD system included.

So, you guys remember when I said that the headset was getting some new updates? 

HERE THEY ARE

Introducing Psuedopancake Headset 2.0; Autonomy

There are a few upgrades made within this design! Let's go over a few;

  1. Thanks to Summer (Who is also working on something you guys will see soon), the lens module now uses M2 screws instead of any epoxies or glues! The lens also pop in instead of needing to be glued in!
  2. The rod system now has a knob (Even though I am realizing upon texting that it is within the wrong rod, fix coming soon
  3. Actual side pieces (Which you should place on the headset within your own 3D stuff)
  4. The design is now cleaner, having proper curvature and being built on Fusion instead of Tinkercad
  5. Everything overall fits more snug
  6. The headset size has been reduced slightly

Now I will be honest, there are still a few problems here and there with the design but once the rod pieces are fixed, it is ensured that nothing is blocking it and the side pieces are properly placed it should not be anything which permanently stops you.

I am actively working on fixing those and they should be good by next week.

Aside from that, I am still working on fixing the LCD borders being visible while adding eye tracking (powered by ETVR) and mouth tracking (Powered by Babble). The new test lens have yet to appear but I also have a polarizer which should increase the already very good image quality!

Once done, I expect the FOV to be around 100 degrees +

Of course, the printable file is on the files area as PsuedoPancake Headset Template v2 Opened.stl and PsuedoPancake Headset Template v2 v2.f3d! The stl is for 3D printing (Although you need to ensure ground alignment) and the f3d is the Fusion file itself with the sketches and all the blemishes! Love it or roast it, the design still arrives >:)

The file for the lens is still "PsuedoPancakes v2.svg" but please buy the lenses from here from now on!

I look forward to seeing what you guys come up with! Please feel free to message me with your designs so I can share images of them on updates! More on the way like eye tracking, LCD Slime Trackers, gloves and Silicon batteries! This is the second to last update this project will get before I release a full on headset (Inside Out SteamVR Tracking, Peripheral LEDs, Etc.) and open source ALL of it!
