You people make me sick. I mean, I was already sick, but you made me angry too. Your shrill shrieking about my "lopsided" wearable computer reached a boiling point, and in placating your fixation with right angles, I revisited what is arguably my very first project. Turns out I'm better at 3D printing, Fusion 360, and Google Glass ergonomics after 12 years of practice. I didn't see that coming.
And give it a rest with the "OCD". Obsessive-compulsive disorder isn't getting triggered by a pair of glasses being two degrees off on the Y axis. It's counting the number of Cheerios in your bowl because if it's not a multiple of 7, the International Space Station will deorbit and flatten your mother. If you think you have actual OCD, talk to a specialist - OCD has highly effective drug-free treatments you can learn to perform yourself.

I see why you 100% need a teleprompter, your scripts are like poetry dude
And like Vogon poetry, it's an acquired taste.
He should replace his voicebox so he doesnt have to read out at all
@@francistaylor1822 maybe he should replace his viewers ears instead :0

Someone woke up choosing violence and I love it.
Domestic violence is not a joke!
@@THE-CRT He was also joking around I believe
@@THE-CRT lol, seriously? Apparently taking a common colloquial phrase that has nothing to do with actual violence and responding in a serious manner as if they means something else entirely escapes your own humor detection circuit... I'd get that inspected, or provide it different training data, or remove yourself from whatever environment makes you jump to thinking my comment was some Twitter outrage bait comment.
"Violence is not a question It's the answer" -some discord meme I saw a year ago.
Me too
I feel like your scripts are the opposite of a cry for help. They're like an acknowledgement that you're rapidly descending into insanity but a firm denial of any attempts at rescue. I'm so happy to be here for the genesis of a modern day mad scientist.
It's like being surrounded with support on the way then telling them to go away because "I'm not surrounded. I'm in a target rich environment. If there isn't pizza on that chinook then go back to base."
I love how you described that, and it's so accurate
“Folks don’t expect crooked people - which is odd, considering every town has a police department”
Brilliant 😂😂
I am five minutes into this video and I don't think I've ever heard a maker go so hard at so many different things in a project update. Holy crap, dude, applauding.
hes been youtubing very hard
THIS
he's truly a one in a billion mad scientist and absolutely worthy of our adulation
This headset revision actually looks a ton cleaner and is much less distracting. Looks very slick and professional. Really well done.
It looks like the scouter in DBZ, pretty cool
Still crooked, though :D
@@KryptLynx people are not straight like huh
Optician here. Real "blue blocker"(yes they are not 100% blocking) lenses *are* actually slightly amber. They help prevent eyestrain, not be a lab equipment. You should be able to wear them all day. Good opticians even advise graphic designer or anyone that works with colors against using them, because they alter the perception of color.
Thanks for the video. Fun to watch, as always.
Yep, I can confirm, everything gets a nice "warm white" look to it :D
oh no. I am a fashion designer and I wear blue light filter glasses daily. Whoops.
Not entirely true. Gunnar has a set of blue-light blockers for outdoor use that are...blue! I actually use them during winter storm Yuri. Blocked ice glare amazingly well
This guy is fantastic. As a hardware engineer that hasn't engineered anything but software in years, this inspired me to find another project that's utterly unique and a tiny bit insane
How'd financing that turn out?
I actually used your head 3d scan to contour a pair of sunglasses to match a human head for my own HUD project. It will forever amuse me that the HUD upon my face is not actually contoured to fit me but jankily fits for some reason anyway, such is being a maker I suppose.
Sunglasses also arent contoured to fit each individual person and they work fine. It can work fine and fit many people if you just go for a design that fits the average person.
I printed a whole mask out of ceramic fiber, and thanks to elastic deformation every day my face becomes closer and closer to his face.
If at first you don't succeed, try 7 more times using many different plastics then go back to the first one.
Love these videos. Thanks for sharing your talent, your shop, and your partner with us!
it's practically impossible to handle the wordplays and puns that are being blasted to your face per second of content. truly marvelous
Dude, your scripts are amazingly well-written and when the jokes land it gives such a kick of dopamine. It gives such more vividness to the ideas you express and the problems you traverse. Keep it up!
To help with weight distribution just add a non circuitry related weight on the other arm, might I suggest using uranium-238 or osmium-192?
If he does that they will Barium.
"Folks don't expect crooked people, which is odd considering every town has a police department." Perfect 10/10, I am stealing that and will look to insert it in conversation from now on. Thank you Zack. Your scripts are usually alliterative adventures but this line was a succulent sensation.
Every time I watch these videos I feel like I lose a few brain cells but then end up gaining like five times more. How it be like that?
Zack, keep on keeping on!
When you started describing the strength vs toughness issue, my first thought was "Sounds like it needs a stiffer material as a sort of skeleton or brace". And then the coat hanger returned.
5 minutes in and I'm already dying of laughter from more than a few of the jokes, this is already one of my favorite videos so far
I loved the cop joke
@@wesleyswafford2462 or just a lot of people who like the same style of humor 😄
I never noticed the tilt but now that you've mentioned it I will never unsee it
Since the plastic is flexible, couldn't you use that to your advantage? Model a channel around the outside with brackets or a tunnel through the center to slide the wire in. Since the plastic is flexible and the wire holds the shape the combination would allow someone to adjust the tension without having to model and print an exact fit.
Edit: also it's extra work but using the 3d print as a base it might be advantageous to make a silicone mold and cast in a material not sensitive to uv (skin oils might be a problem too). I'm assuming the resin will become brittle if you wear it enough outside or in.
You are the holy grail of makers and I love each video despite not owning a 3D printer, or any of the usual tech you play around with. Kudos!
This video inspired me to make a headmount for my 55 inch television.
Thanks Zack. Thanks.
The photo from the original internet of the guy with 2x4 lumber over his shoulders to carry a CRT in front of him and a full desktop CPU behind him immediately comes to mind. With how light televisions are now days you could probably manage, if not head mount like you're an African woman carrying her entire everything on her head top then at least shoulder carry like Real Men of Genius member Mr. 'LAN party to go' of yore.
You get more alliterative, the further you fall into a project. Holy shit.
A+++ video, man. Your work continues to astound.
Thank you kindly for your eloquent elaborations. Im constantly bewildered by your top knotch tongue twisters
I immensely respect the amount of effort that went into taking criticism and dishing out shade heavy enough to blacken the sun simultaneously. I legit didnt even notice anything crooked about you or the glasses. I just thought the big grey bar was bulky and covered up your face too much. The final product looks incredible though, good work.
These aliterations are awesome!
That’s technically assonance.
All alliterations are amazing, and any attempt achieves awe alone!
Adding a channel for the hanger could make it look like that was on purpose. Really a badass build!
I learned so much... don't need to know any of it but your sir have a way with words that made me stay.
This video was so informative and entertaining! It really gave me a better understanding of the topic. Thanks for sharing your knowledge! :)
I'm just imagining you aren't using the teleprompter while making this video and just watching Vaush during all of this now
That's what I'd do with my HUD.
Wow, somebody was feeling saucy today! I was blind with admiration, but now I see the tilting terror of glasses gone wrong. Damn the creativity, it must be level on the face! I am now going to troll all of RUclips looking for tilted glasses to trash. Also...glad you are okay. Your videos spice up the occasional monotony of life.
I am 100% with you on the behind the head mounting. It just looks cooler.
Awesome project, well done.
LOL. Seeing your dogs raid the lab like that reminds me of when my donkeys found out how to open the front door, and come into the house, to 'guard' the carrots.
Needless to say, the carrots were very nervous, as they began vanishing!
Random Coheed reference always draws me in.
Man your battle stations!

Is there no world for tomorrow if we wait for today?
9:49 Zack is a vaushite????
Outstanding video. I’m planning on buying a 3D printer with my next tax return and I can’t wait to build my own headset. You may not realize it but you are a great inspiration for many of us. Thank you for your time and effort to bring these entertaining and really useful videos.
I have been watching your videos for a couple of months. Aaaand I have a 3d printer (since today) together with a nasty organizing habit, but I am not commenting because of that. I want to comment to say that I personally think your scripts are the best I have ever heard and I want to thank you for all the laughs and everything I have learned, also.
Your attitude in the first part of this video was exactly how I was feeling after you defiled that beautiful oscilloscope.
But eventually I got over it and came back to resub and soak up everything I’ve missed.
I don't yet need to know how to make a head HUD, but I'm extremely inspired by your channel. It's so good to see someone so far ahead fail as much as me. Keep up the magnificent work, and stay inside like the rest of us from now on. I can't afford to lose my best source of eduspration. I may have to sponsor you purely because I have a nerdy name I've been working on for about a year.
I built my first keyboard the dactyl manuform 5x6 because one of your videos inspired me too lol I even modeled, 3D printed, and painstakingly hand wired custom LED panels for it
I've loved all the episodes of this series! This is such a cool project! Subbed
Sweet coheed reference 👌
Fair warning about carbon fiber nylon, as I came to find out, is that they plastic deform incredibly easily over time. If you print your frame out of it, I suspect you're going to find that the shape has altered drastically over the span of a few weeks (It's also entirely possible this could vary between manufacturers. The one I used was Adura X)
I’m a new viewer and I don’t do 3d printing (yet!), but your content is amazing. And such relatable content getting sick on your only vacation 😂
Thanks for sharing the STL files! My v1.0 hmd was askew and unstablely mounted to my already required glasses. If it doesn't completely solve my problem, you'll have at least gotten me 90% of the way there. And then your mirage project is just the excuse I needed to not start my own custom keyboard project. And as you said in a previous video, starting new projects is why old projects remain incomplete. That probably means you the RUclipsr who has most helpfully contributed to my projects. I hope making your content is as enjoyable as it is being in the audience!
Food for the algorythm! Nice job man!
That printer looks dope. I’ve been wanting to get into resin printing. Definitely gonna check it out even though it’s a little pricy for my first msla
If you do FDM, resin feels like cheating. It’s so good.
Have watched quite a few of your videos and love the content so far. love the wearable HUD. but this video is special because you shared that you have scoliosis. i found out feb of 22 that i have lumbar scoliosis and severe stenosis and some other stuff so i feel that i relate to you so much but anyway ive watched your videos since my wife got me a 3d printer and your content has helped me and entertained me and id like to thank you sir
You are the only one that makes me laugh so hard it hurts. I love your channel so much.
An amazing project and wasn't expecting a surprise guest star of vaush 😂
vaush isn't a leftist. To anyone that at least reads history and theory he's clearly a liar and a grifter. Hakim and Socialism4All do a good job highlighting vaush's incoherence.
Friggin Vaush jumpscare lmao
Wait what where? I must've missed it and now I'm curious
@@papermario3982 at 9:26
I think you could also extend the cross section/thickness of the headgear, the larger area of the cross section would decrease the stress incurred by the frame. It would be bulkier but it should help with deformation. I was also thinking a taller face pad would help anchor the head gear and keep it from rotating.. Shit I think I just reinvented a helmet
I feel you on the scoliosis, I have scheuermann's and have to make an effort to keep my head vertical instead of leaning it to the left.
Zack, I love your attitude to wearable technology. Let's not make wearable technology that blends in nice and sameysamey with all the normies. We need wearable technology that looks like what it is: solutions to our nerdy problems, constant connectivity, and the absolute badass cybernetic enhancements that they are.
I really like the last iteration. Would be nice to understand the signals going into each of the displays. Maybe it can be hacked even more (and reuse the other display, which is currently not used).
PS: 3-ply FTW.
Genuine question, how long does it take you to come up with the intros? Cause they're always fantastic alliteration (I think that's the right word)
Glad you're feeling better! It sucks that you got sick :(
just watching you immensely makes my vocab collection bigger
Maybe you could also create a channel in the frame design where you could insert the coat hanger just like you made a channel for the display cable?
Something tells me this had to do with a self-imposed video deadline, reprinting in a harder material would have also been an option!
All the "it's not level" comments being accidently ableist was the twist I wasn't expecting!
YOOO ANOTHER SCOLIOSIS DUDE!! LETS GOOO! I gotta have surgery later on because my back has gone too far, i never knew that you had scoliosis too!
Thought we wouldn't notice the resin printed miku on your desk, but we did! Love it XD
One among the fence!
Now that it is a six axis arm, just need to add some hydraulic or pully systems to move it with a motor.
That would be sick though. Voice controlled obviously, so you can say "on screen!" or "heads up!" And it moves in position.
@@Frrk man you could fit mycroft in there to do that too!
I love how these look like! It's like an add on to you and your face rather than eye glasses
Use of coat hanger wire on a brand new project: priceless. Great video, technical content, and script. I thank you sir.
"Folks don't expect crooked people, Which is odd considering every town has a police department" Holy hell that one got me! lmao
Did you really use that special bottle of tough resin to print a little Hatsune Miku figurine just because it was the right hair color?
Great video, this looks much more like a HUD than any pair of glasses
I made a lot of near indestructable minis with my super sauce. Totslly worth it.
I’ve been watching you for 2yrs now I think I live behind you
There were like a dozen times I wanted to click thumbs up but had already done it near the start. Great work!
9:28 VOOSH
9:26 veeeesh spotted
Looks awesome! Question, why not embrace the elastic properties and create a slot to imbed the coat hanger? The coat hanger would then allow you to bend and adjust the headband over time to retain the fit
glad to be here along your epic journey. jokes are spot on.
All your missing now is an overengineered way to automatically move it out of your eye for that unnecessary but cool sci-fi factor. The first time I remember seeing a heads up display was in the original tomb raider movies which are fun m9vies by the way. The coat hanger solution makes me wonder do any of the printers here have the ability to print around a metal frame work for extra strength. Awesome work thanks for the vid.
There exist 3D printers that will automatically incorporate things like carbon fiber strand from a separate roll into your parts as they are printed to increase strength and stiffness beyond what normal filament is capable of. You can also do a poor man's version of this by editing your G-code to add pauses in the print (and head relocation if necessary) so that you can manually lay down reinforcing material and then resume the print. To answer your question specifically, yes, you could also use solid metal instead of flexible strand, but you'd need to create an open cavity in the 3D model to give clearance for the print nozzle until the Z height clears the top of whatever you've inserted.
Sorry for the long delay before response, but in case you were still wondering, I experimented in university (with a Prusa MK2 IIRC) with embedding some of the spare nuts that came with the printer into printed parts, leaving only a threaded metal hole in an otherwise plastic part, like a deluxe version of a heat-set insert. It worked out really well!
It's possible to design a part with a socket just big enough for your metal to fit snugly in, insert a 'pause until operator attention' or 'manual filament change' instruction into the G-code at the correct layer (PrusaSlicer has this automated now I think, you should be able to just queue up a pause after any layer in the slicer), manually press your metal or other foreign object into the socket (making sure it does NOT stick up out of the hole to catch the nozzle) and resume the print to seal over the object. The trick, of course, is choosing embedded objects that have a precisely-predictable enough shape that you can be sure they will both exactly fit into your socket, and exactly fit the layer bridging over the top with a flat surface. I'm unsure a hand-bent coat hanger could be precisely shaped enough to use this way easily, but it you could find another reinforcement with a flat, level 'top' and a predictable shape it should work quite well.
I haven't done it with the Prusa MK3S I later got at home, but it's a trick I've kept in mind in case I ever do a real project like this. You can make some VERY professional-looking threaded parts, at least. If I were buying hardware for it, I might go with square nuts, because those would cleanly, securely bridge over in one horizontal surface in a horizontal orientation as well as a vertical one. I haven't tried metal structural reinforcements, but they should work similarly, with the caveat of having to chose between easy availability and precise, flat tops.
So there's a belt pc sequel in the works...? Opticon 2: Part 4: This Time Itsa Personal (computer)!

Man. The engineering put into this is obviously outstanding, but the writing is what makes me feel all warm and fuzzy. It's like an episode of Futurama. Almost every sentence is a joke or a setup to one. You didn't have to, but I'm here for it.
Also, 2-ply toilet paper. Don't get all 16th century lord in us with that 3-ply.
Toughness and strength is paramount in knife making, gotta find that balance for impact resistance and hardness as it relates to edge retention. Fun stuff.
10:10 "or directly in front like a nerd!" *proceeds to wear it directly in front of your eye*
I actually lol'd at this.
Your projects are so sweet!
Your scripts are literal gold.
For a quick hack you could you have heat welded the metal into it? Heat it up, burn in the shape into the back of it, and then use a bond agent if necessary.
(Never done any of this so just wondering if thats plausible or mince)
Love your vids dude, I always learn something.
Oh, and 2 ply, more, you have to break out your plunger like some overpaid plumber, two little and you've got to break out the nitrite gloves.
these patron segments are just getting better and better
Good design, I'm so jealous of the setup. I look forward to the community figuring out how to bring the price of the display down, then I'll wear it all the time.
