Hey all!
I'm one of the folks at
Oculus who has been working on Oculus tracking and roomscale support. When
I was experimenting with different setups, I decided to start up a bit of a hobby project to create a few mounts I could use at my setup at home.
I got into 3D printing
about a year ago, and have been having a lot of fun creating some custom items
like this. Note, these aren't Oculus products or endorsed as official
Oculus mounts, but I figured if people in the community wanted to give a shot
at printing them and adding them to their setup it could be a help. 3D printing can be difficult if you don’t have a lot of experience, so in many cases you’re better off buying official tripod mounts. That said if you’re up to the challenge feel free to try printing these and/or modify them for your own use. These are the items attached:
Sensor-holders
holder-corner-slim.stl - Slim version of corner sensor mount
holder-corner-standard.stl - Full rectangular version of corner sensor
mount
holder-flat-slim.stl - Slim version of flat sensor mount, for
mounting directly on a flat wall
holder-flat-standard.stl - Full rectangular version of the flat mount
Cord-guides (to keep the sensor cord against the
wall)
cordguide-corner-slim.stl - Guide which uses one screw to press the cord
against the corner of your wall
cordguide-corner-standard.stl - Guide which uses two screws to press the cord
against the corner of your wall
cordguide-flat-standard.stl - Flat guide to press your cable against a flat
wall
In case you want to try
printing, I used these print settings on my personal machine:
Material: ABS (though PLA or other materials may work)
Infill 20%
Top/bottom/side layers: 4
Speed 40mm/s
Have fun!
P.S. I ended up designing these for #2 Phillips 1" 2.54cm drywall screws. You should be able to pick them up at a local hardware store if you don't have compatible screws already.

I am considering wall mounting my two sensors as atm they are sitting just above desk level, the ceiling in my house is really high so i wanted to ask if there is an optimum height for mounting the sensors in a two sensor setup and is it better to have them both on the facing wall or one front and the other to either the left or right wall?
Thanks.

Thanks.
If you want to mount them in normal orientation due to limited angle you can point them down and the vertical FOV (70 degrees) I would say optimal height is 1.4-2m (I did calculations some time ago for about 3m x 3m space so i could get optimal floor and above-head coverage). If you mount them upside down (or use a mounting system that points them down) I don't think the height is as important because you can tilt them further.
While I'm here i thought I would share my designs for Sensor Mount for Ikea Kalax and Touch Cradle (the cradle fits the Touch surprisingly well and is really secure.)

Made myself two mounts and put them up on the facing wall at a height 2 meters and i am astounded at the improvement to my setup. I was placing them on the corners of my desk previously but i had issues if i had to reach below my knees. this setup works brilliantly.
couldn't you just have one sensor in the middle doing the same job as the both of them.
