Meta (facebook/oculus) sell an elite strap with a battery for £99, now I bought an elite strap (non battery version) and it cracked after light use so for 2 main reasons I wasn’t going to buy the meta version of this headstrap.
- The last one broke way too easy.
- It’s too expensive.
We have a 3d printer, so I decided to come up with an alternative solution. Here is what we did.
- Bought a headstrap from amazon
- Bought a cheap powerbank from amazon
- 3d printed a part to hold the powerbank
And this is how it looks.
Want to try for yourself? Here are the parts we used with prices and a link to our etsy store where we now 3d print the powerbank holders.
So the total cost of our DIY elite strap? £48. and so far it shows no signs of failing.
