My Lego Dive

Hi,
If you don't have a 3D printer like me you can build it out of your old Lego! I have build mine because I can't wait for the Oculus Rift.
You can slide in a Galaxy S3 from the side. On the other side is a hole for headphones. I'm very satisfied with the lenses but right now it has the tunnel effect. The reason for that is that I can't get my eyes close enough to the lenses because my big nose collides with the device. I have to work on that part and my more room so it fits.
Greetings
Metin

In case it helps, I posted some formulas for estimating the field of view based on your lens setup on the mtbs3d forum:

The key point is to get the lenses as close to your eyes as possible, and that pretty much means you need to have a nose cutout. Beware of LEGO brick corners digging into your nose.

How do you adjust the lens? I am asking because I just sat down this morning and tried to construct some mechanics to adjust the lenses out of technincs pieces. Need to try rubber-bands to add some friction, as my models won't keep the lenses in-places once they are adjusted. After all that my issue with the model from the 3d printer as well.
Do you have a lego digital designer file for your build?

I built one too: https://plus.google.com/u/0/117815039340859210765/posts/heChfWpnkpH. Not yet happy with the distance between eyes and lenses. Also the lego technics pieces get quite close to the eyes.
