Pico 4 magnetic face gasket +comfort +FOV increase + vented

UPDATE 13.12.2022

Added air vents to the gasket, they are designed in a way so its impossible for light to get in. The active cooling on the Pico4 itself is awesome but when the face gasket sits perfectly  on your face with the hot air trapped inside and moved in circles with no way to get exchanged to the outside its slightly uncomfortable.  With the added vents you can feel a big difference in temperature on your face pretty much making the cooling perfect.

UPDATE 04.12.2022

I realized that I was able to push my original face gasket a few more mm closer to my face increasing the FOV but also pushing wearability comfort to its limit, so I took another 4mm off the gasket, it now features the maximum FOV ( for my face and my nose!!)  if you feel like there is still some headroom with my original gasket you can try this as well, no guarantee given it works the same way as it works for me ;)  Its the model with “FOV110" at the end.

I am getting 110° FOV horizontal but also giving me a bit of smear of my eyebrows on the middle top lense, so pretty much the max possible FOV for me before my eyeball marries the lens.

Increasing FOV, making cutouts to improve wearability for glasses ( not tested), inserts for magnets  4pieces of 6x3mm. Making inserts for the mounting pins separately as they would easy brake off when printed in one go because of print orientation.

Things you need: 

Magnets:

Velcro:

Some sandpaper to smooth the edges who will get in contact with the HMD.

Glue the pins (white) into the openings, push them all the way in. ( The design also works without the pins as the magnets are strong enough to hold the gasket in without any issues) 

Print with (Tree) supports up from the print bed, orientation like shown in the previews and pictures.

Glue the magnets into the corresponding holes ( be careful and check polarity, the right side uses reversed polarity compared to the left side!) 

test place the magnets on the original gaskets magnets  before gluing them in! You dont want to glue them in and realize later that some of them repel the magnets on the HMD side.

Give it enough time to dry and cover the magnets with some tape. ( if not fully dry super glue vapor will whiten ( cause white spots) your HMD at contact point! 

Cut the Velcro in fitting pieces and glue them on the front so the padding can be applied without leaving gaps where light could leak in. 

Attach it to your pico once all the glue is fully dried, attach the VR cover padding of your choice, the nose light blocker and be amazed ;) 

 Gasket cushions for the Quest1 or Quest 2 and even index should fit nicely, not really a lot of difference when it comes to cushions. 

Print in dark (black) non reflective or translucent Filament for best experience.
