HTC Vive - Breakout Box Mount and Clamshell

10/13/2018 - Updated the Breakout Box to allow for better ventilation. The original version is still in the list of files for those who want to use the original.

This is a breakout box mount and clamshell for the HTC Vive. This has been designed to attach to a 120mm fan location on the PC. The clamshell is designed to easily slide in and out of the breakout box. I have also included chamfers on the edges of the mount to allow for better airflow around the mount.

The short version was not designed to fit anything specific. It was added to accommodate those people who just want to wall mount it.

Additional Hardware Required

• HTC Vive
• 6 x M3x12 Hex Socket Head Cap Screw

The assembled clamshell should allow the HTC Vive connectors to line up with the breakout box connections. I have printed and tested this with no alignment issues. However, I am not responsible if your print is misaligned due to your printer org code and damage is caused to your 3-way cable. Use at your own risk.

Assembly of Clamshell

When assembling the clamshell, you will need to make sure that both the HDMI and USB have the Orange band around the plugs fully exposed and even to each other. The power plug should only show half the Orange band.

I will be making an update to the clamshell to account for this in a later revision.
