Thanks Karlos. Appreciate it.

The ยฃ5 will cover all costs to get these in an envelope and to the PO. Nothing more than a bit of fun whilst working from home. Just like designing simple stuff thats useful.

Yep, 3D printing.

Trouble is with something like you need is the huge amount of time fiddling to get the design working perfect. Its just not worth it. Sorry....

Do you have to move the existing skull cap clips lower on the poles to allow for the increased length of the Velcro tabs? I know you can just retighten the Velcro part, but then Iโ€™d have an inch or more of flappy Velcro. My clips are already as low as Iโ€™d dare put them.
Iโ€™ve just said the word โ€œVelcroโ€ way too many times lol ๐Ÿ˜‚.

I haven't adjusted the pole clamps any lower, but when I used to have to thread mine it always left about an inch of softer loop velcro on the skull cap exposed. Now theres no velcro showing. You are correct, you now have an extra inch of strap available. Bonus. ๐Ÿ˜‰
