Oculus Rift CV1 is great.

But there are a few problems for me.





I will try to fix them at this page.

Making of my own face pad

The official face pad is not good for me.

Its side edge doesn't fit my glasses. (Most glasses might be same.) Its lower edge doesn't fit my nose. (Because I'm asian.) Its upper edge doesn't fit my forehead. (Because I'm asian.)





Fortunately, the face pad is removable from Rift.

So I will try to make my own face pad.





The new face pad allows 145mm wide glasses.

Procedure

Print the pattern which you like. Cut two red parts and a black part with scissors. Mark edges of red parts to a hard board with pen. Mark edges of black part to a metal plate with pen. Mark edges of black part to a fabric with pen. Cut hard board with scissors. Adjust them so that they fit notches of Rift. Cut a metal plate with metal snips. Cut a fabric with scissors. Press a metal plate to hard board vertically and bend a metal plate so that it fit inside arch of hard board. Bond hard boards to metal plate vertically with hot glue gun. And check fitting with notch of Rift. Coat edges of metal plate with glue as injury prevention. Stick foam to metal plate with tape. Stick fabric to foam with tape.
