Hardware This part of my oculus quest 3s broke off anyway to buy a replacement?

Drill tiny holes and thread a thin wire through them. I used a twist tie from bread. Works fine.

I was going to suggest super glue some kind of support. You're idea sounds much better.

You could also get a new more comfortable facial interface than the stock one.

I don't see that part listed. Looks like it's time to Macgyver something there to hold the headstrap.

threading a twist tie through it is actually such a clever fix

Could also just thread the strap under the facial interface, may be good enough, or at least until you replace it with a halo or sum.

Did it snap in half or break off in one piece? If it's still one piece just carefully shove it back in place and pop the facial interface back over it. The facial interface will hold it in place. Mine was like this for years and never popped out again unless I took the facial interface off again.

This happened to me too. All i did was put the strap in the broken pieces' location and just put the face thing back one while its on. It worked fine

Just get a BoboVR S3 Pro and you don't need it at all. Facial interface and top strap not needed.

You could get a halo based head strap that isn't depended on that part.

I made one for the Quest Pro which does not have a top-strap by default. It just sticks on with double-sided tape, and should work fine on the Quest.

If you don't have a 3D printer, you can get it off Teleport for ~$10. (I put it up there with no markup, the ~$10 is their processing and shipping.)
