Introduction: 3D Printed Google Cardboard Kit

About: Hello! My name is Tetiana. One of my hobbies is 3D printing. My work covers various areas of engineering to the decorative. You can see my models on the sites: http://www.thingiverse.com/TanyaAkinora/about

Google Cardboard a device that allows you to discover the world of Virtual Reality.

And you went to the 3D movies? Wore special glasses? We shy away from flying into your face arrows, stones, sharp-toothed sharks and cute squirrels? Liked? Yes, for me!

I bought 2 lenses and assembled Google cardboard glasses of paper.
It turned out badly!

I decided to draw and print my version of Google cardboard glasses. It has been developed and improved several versions.

Instructions for the latest version can be found here.
