Hi David. Since Chronicle has gone bankrupt and the goggles wil not be released, would you consider posting the STL files for the goggles?

For everyone wanting to know if he'll release the files, Id check his Facebook page.

So when I pull up the lens frame in Chitubox it's really small - Anybody got the correct size scaling?

So when I pull up the lens frame in Chitubox it's really small - Anybody got the correct size scaling?

When I upload the file into Simplify 3D, its tiny, though scaling it up to 1000% seems to be very dead on to the actual scale of it. Since I then printed it and checked with the switches I had and they fit. Not just fit theres not too much gap, and or its not too tight of a fit. A fellow member on here, DrewSmith007 has showed me what the size is in Fusion and this may help.
The Green hoods dimensions:
Length 9.497"
Width 5.231"
Height 7.138"

The Goggles part Dimensions:
Length 7.991"
Width 3.748"
Height 2.013"

Hope this helps!

Wow! exactly what I needed! - Thanks!

Can anyone tell me where I find the rings where the green LEDs are housed? Thank you.

Hi, how did you open the aperture so you can see through the lens

 

[JP Drew]

Sorry JP-fans.
I re-read everything again and found my answer.
I have another question. Has anyone created an STL file for a replacement frame for the right lens?

With the screws - you'll need a precision screwdriver that is snug. If you find the screws dont come out spray them with WD40 and leave overnight to do their magic. Then next day they should wind out okay. I did the same thing as you and then had to buy a better set of screwdrivers.

So the mounting can be done multiple ways but I tried to engineer as much a modular way as possible. I actually ended going through several types of clothing snap fasteners, like you'd find on the hem of a duvet for example. You want fairly hard-wearing ones that keep their grip. I had four of these round the back of the lens to fasten the body of the print. My 3D print was a little deeper than I needed by half a centimetre or so, so I actually used a dense foam as a backing to the snaps. Way I saw it, they would act as little shock absorbers too (as I was concerned the vibration from the lens might go through the body and make a strange noise or feeling). If you're super confident you are done you could hot melt glue gun the whole lens assembly in there, but I had far too many tweaks to do.

As for things I'd change about the print - it came out okay. I had to open up some of the screw holes a bit more and sand back where the tubing meets the eye front piece, but all in all the shapeway print was so accurate I had nothing to worry about. It all fit straight out of the box. I think my sanding improved as time went on, but that wasn't anything to do with the print. I might have been a bit severe on sanding the front piece, but it gives it more of a vac-formed look so I'm ok with that.

I did spend months making the 3D printed section - that took the longest planning and checking. I definitely used the measure twice print once approach. And I sent for test prints to get an idea of the finish, fit and scale in hand. I just printed a half section of the front portion. Test prints for fitting are always a good idea if they aren't too costly.

I will eventually release them for free for hobbyists, just don't want to release them while there's a licensed product on the horizon. The whole world has a right to these goggles as Hammond would say.

Hi, I have your 3D files but I think I'm missing 2 pieces. The caps for the Huntsman headgear. Where can I find them?

I started working on this project and decided to abandon it. I have acquired the lenses, motors, switches, leds, and some printed parts. DM me if you want it for a reasonable price.

Where did you find the camera mount bracket?
