Full Assembly
Now you know where everything is supposed to go, it's time to put it there! As this was the first rendition of these, I decided to forgo adjustability, and fix everything in place with hot glue. It actually works perfectly for this project thanks to its short dry time!
Mount the Camera:
After locating the camera in a place where it wont interfere with the lens, glue it in (making sure its pointing as level as possible.) The camera needs to be fairly solidly mounted as I also used it to hold the lenses/screens in place. Once its glued in place, run the cable around the border of the mask to the exit point and secure it in place with glue.
Mount the Lenses:
This part is tricky, as the lens alignment is very important! If a lens is misaligned it will ruin the whole picture. I used the lens as a guide so i knew the goggles' limitations and found the position that worked for me. I then used glue to attach them to the body of the camera (I don't feel bad doing this because it is old, if yours is nice, check the last section.) Now run the wiring for the lenses around the edge and out the exit point.
Attach the Headphones:
I used the clips that attached the strap as a point to glue the headphones to, Make sure you have the location of the headphones before you do any gluing as this is important to the fitment of the whole unit!
Run remaining Wiring:
Now simply pack the remaining wiring as neatly as you can inside the unit and reattach the lens (if yours was detachable like mine)
