I found a bunch of super-cheap kids sunglasses at the airport for my 3D-printed clip-on shades. No more concerns about UV damage ๐Ÿ™‚

You can download the model here.

Thanks for your regular posts. I like how dedicated you are! Contrary to some other posters, I like the look actually. Of course it would be nice to see them on a real face. Maybe you could gimp them onto an AI generated face.

Thanks!

Those are in fact my real glasses. They're not just novelty glasses of a fun model you can 3D-print: I wear them all day every day and I put a fair bit of work into them - and into the accessories like the case and the shades - because I actually use them for real. So I wanted to make sure all the files to recreate them and how to mount and adjust everything are properly documented. I figured folks who are into 3D-printing would enjoy the design process.

Looks are in the eyes of the beholder of course ๐Ÿ™‚

I have better than that: I used a 3D head model to get the looks right. It's a Blender file, you can get it here if you want to play with it. I added it to my Github along with a couple renderings:

That's the spirit. If I wore glasses I'd definitely give them a try. Unfortunately many other 3d printed projects are half baked. This one seems to have some serious work in it.
