The little slider on my Rift doesn't report back the IPD value to the software so even though my lenses are properly distanced, my IPD value is stuck at 71mm. I know my IPD is 67mm so is there a way I can override the value somewhere?
I've tried the Oculus Debug Tool as well as the Oculus Tray Tool and didn't find anything.
I had tried with the spudger too, with no success. With the plastic card it was a breeze. See if you can find one which is thin and flexible enough that it can be bent to conform to the lens shape. Ideally you want something like this:
Push it in between the lens and the mask starting with one corner of the card, getting in the space between two clips. Then slide the card around the lens and the clips should come undone as if by magic 🙂
No, not under the mask, there's no room to work (that's precisely the problem I had with the spudger). With a thin card you can wedge it in right from the outside, like this
Usually these cards have rounded corners to avoid cutting your fingers, so there should be very little risk of tearing the cloth. Anyway, you're not sliding the card over the cloth, but in the tiny fissure between the lens and the plastic black ring to which the cloth is attached. The ring I'm talking about can be seen clearly here at 6:16 when Carlos pushes it up with his fingers:
