Difference between revisions of "Freetrack Head Tracking IR Clip for HD555/595 (Q905944)"

This is a modified version of Jewcookie's freetrack IRclip. The attachment clip ("C".stl) is made to fit the band on a Sennheiser HD555, but may fit other headphones as well. To make it as light as possible I've used a single CR123A 1200ma lithium battery. The fully assembled IRclip weighs only 37g, compared to two AA NiHMs which alone weigh 57g. It's modeled around readily available RadioShack parts (links below). The switch is held in place by friction, and the battery holder is held in place by both friction and PLA "rivets" which you must melt after installing the battery holder. The three main pieces (A-C) snap fit together, the fourth "D" piece is an optional ring to hold it together permanently without glue, you must print two of these. Switch: Catalog #: 275-007 (http://www.radioshack.com/product/index.jsp?productId=3020764) Battery Holder: Catalog #: 270-080 (http://www.radioshack.com/product/index.jsp?productId=22874796) UPDATE [12/2/15]: I've added some spherical diffusers for standard (narrow angle) 5mm IR LEDs. When lit with an IR LEDs the spheres glow evenly in all directions, but will reduce the overall light output. Works much better than wide angle LEDs in dimly lit rooms.
