Quest Helmet Attachment (V3.2 & Quest 3 Variant)
- Platform: Printables (Free Download)
- Key Feature: This is a fully articulated mount designed to clip into the standard NVG Shroud (like those on FAST, MICH, or ACH helmets). The V3.2 version specifically includes parts tailored for the Quest 3’s shape.
- Designer Notes: The designer emphasizes that the newer versions are much more stable and do not require the side rail clips. Crucially, they stress the need for counterweights on the back of the helmet due to the Quest 3’s front-heavy design.+1
- Required Hardware: This is a complex assembly that requires common metric hardware, usually M4 screws, bolts, and nuts, which are necessary to assemble the hinges and adjustment joints.
Quest 3 Adapter for Night Vision Scope Mount
- Platform: MakerWorld (Free Download)
- Key Feature: A simpler, direct adapter for the Quest 3 designed to connect to a Night Vision Scope Mount or NVG shroud.
- Designer Notes: This may be a more straightforward print but potentially less refined in terms of adjustment and stability compared to the multi-part hinge system of the “Quest Helmet Attachment.”
