VALVE-INDEX-DEV-Frunk-1.0

Mounting System for Developers and Endusers to modify their Valve Index HMD.

This Solution is designed to be more "Beginner" friendly as well as more open for Modifications. You have a idea for an VR Accessory? Feel free to use the M4 Mounting points to fix it to your Headset.

THIS Modification will NOT Void your Headsets Warranty if done properly

!!! UNPLUG YOUR HEADSET BEFORE WORKING ON IT !!!

Repository includes:

• Base Mounting Frunk

• EyetrackVR Mount (ESPCAM Boards)

These Instructions will show you how to assemble the Mount Parts. You will need additional Parts for the EyetrackVR Tracking. Please take a look at EyetrackVR Docs Page.

Things you need for this Modification:

• 3D Printer or a 3D Print Service (PCBWay or JLCPCB for example)
• Soldering Iron (I can highly recommend either a TS101 or a PINECIL. Any cheap 110/230V one also does the Trick)
• Threaded Heat Inserts. I recommend them either from Ruthex or CNC Kitchen
• A T5 Torx Screwdriver iFixit T5 Screwdriver or iFixit Pro Tech Toolkit (HIGHLY Recommended)
• USB-A to USB-C Adaptercable Choose S1-T5A 10cm (For now until i release my Fan driver and USB Passthrough Board)
• RF Shielding Tape TITAN RF (For the USB Cable)
• M4 Screws Amazon Link (You will need 6x M4x10/15 and 1x M4x30 for Full Coverage)
