Tldr: what’s a cheap head strap that can hold me over if I can’t get the ego kit

First of all I am in the 2027 reservation queue, so this is not a time sensitive matter. Also in the waiting room for my optometrist as we speak so I was gonna order the Zenni lenses after my appointment.

BUT TO THE TOPIC AT HAND (or I guess head). I’m planning on having this as a temporarystrap as I’m planning on getting the ergo kit, but am assuming they’ll be sold out, so this is just something IF it’s sold out and to hold me over till I can get that kit so price and longevity aren’t really a concern. But ideally I’d want to buy from Amazon.

I’m also probably gonna wait till after I have the frame, cus I don’t want to get a headstrap if the stock unit is comfortable enough without it

Yeah I'm not worried at all since I won't have the thing for a while, but sadly I have no experience with CAD nor a 3d printer. Appreciate the suggestion tho

Ah well then I misread. Looked on their store and the headstrap is only 8 or 9 bucks (already forgot) so that’ll be perfect to hold me over if I can’t order the ergo kit and need a top strap, thanks!
