Using a combination of the frame generator and direct modelling I was able to create multiple functional iterations in a relatively short amount of time.

I am trying to replicate some of my common manual command strings in grasshopper.

Derived:

Modified definition:

and from the back;

Pads are undecided.

Lens profile and pads:

I'm planning on making a module to generate the arms for at-least the current hinges.

I still think that bent wire makes sense for the arms; its very easily scaled. At-least six manufacturers in the area could do what I need.

Still no quote back for metal printing the old prototype, I'm going to send over the new design now prior to even test printing on my end due to lag time! Not how this should be... Anyways, hopefully things get sorted out soon.

I'm going to print the new models in plastic soon for testing. The nose pads for all of them seem to be the big deciding point.
