This design is made to work with the BoboVRs magnetic PD100 Dock & Power Bank. It allows you to quickly swap out the battery without taking the headset off.

Other designs I saw online were too bulky and were a bit of an eyesore. I wanted something that doesn't add much weight, so I made the clip that weighs only 15 grams. And, unlike other designs, this one doesn't rely on friction; it actually clips onto the headset's own battery housing instead.

The only downside is that there are no flat surfaces, so you'll have to print it with supports. My recommendation is to print it with the exposed side up as that will provide the best finish.

This is not a remix - I am including the source file (made in Blender). The file also contains Valve's own 3D model of Steam Frame, but that was used only to follow the compound curve while I modeled the clip.
