Quite a while back a user here posted some pictures of a mass effect headset. I could not find the original post, but when I saw it those years ago I decided I would make my own. I made the first version back then and was quite pleased, but when I got the parts laser cut I planned to make two. I finally got around the making the second one for a friend and decided take a bunch of pictures to show the build. Descriptions are included with the pictures. I hope y'all like it and hopefully all the pictures work.
I designed the files by looking at references and images from the original post, then had the stuff shipped off for laser cutting.

Step 21 (Final):
Close up of my first version. Both have a bit of weathering and wear on them. Partly done with paint partly done by scratching through to the metalic-silver primer.
Now that I have a camera that works better than my old phone, I may be able to do more build stuff.
