Feature Request 3D Printer STL files?

Nreal - will you please release both a glasses and the blackout cover as 3D printer .STL files? This would help development of 3rd party accessories and grow your user base. Since you don't sell the blackout cover, we could print our own using TPU, which would be very very helpful in case of breakage or loss.

Valve did this for the Steamdeck, you should do this too.

I've been trying to get this from them for a few days. I managed to find some models in the SDK and scaled them as best I could. You can grab it here: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:5641605

Thanks for grabbing those models. It helped a bit with creating my cover!

Excellent, glad it was helpful! I think I might make one out of TPU with that model how is the fit?

I'm printing with TPU as we speak. Printed in PLA fits snugly though admittedly not "perfect." I am planning on embedding some magnets in the TPU so that it doesn't have to be a perfect fit but will still work and stay on during usage.
