here is the Link
Hey. I just very carefully tried to pull it further. Nothing snapped or broke and it finally rests on the back of my head properly with headset close to my face as it should be. Thank you very much. I wore it for a moment but the difference is huge so I suppose it should feel better in the long run. Im going to get to IPD adjustment 
Also one question: doyu have the link to that ipd picture? all links are down and I cant find a suitable one

I will have to take a look. OpenMR changed from .ai to .com. so it is possible may need to check link address.
Can you link me to the guide that has the broken link?
This is the link to the image https://community.openmr.ai/uploads/default/original/2X/4/481780a89825ad6fd7648ad443147439d618e7fe.jpeg
It doesn’t load for me. Just like any other link to openmr with ai suffix

I modified the link. Looks like it works now. can you link me the original topic message?

Thank you I have fixed the link address there as well.
@Heliosurge I have another question if you have some spare time. I think I got IPD set quite close (not perfect but better than before). However I’ve noticed an issue that is way more problematic and may be as much of a reason for my eyes feeling weird as the IPD stuff. I did experience glare in the past on Valve Index, Vive Pro 2. However what I experience here seems to be a different level of something that feels like glare but not entirely. It really is hitting my eyes hard. It feels like the lenses have light from the screen reflected and it’s like blurred mirror image on the inside of the lenses. It’s not literally like I see mirror image but I can’t really put it in words. For example when I was playing Beat Saber song with lots of effects there was the one where orange color ring appears. As it was circling/appearing I had an orange blur on the inside the lenses vaguely visible that was causing that weird feeling in my eyes. It kind of feels like glare but different. I can’t explain it and I think this is the main reason that I can’t play comfortably.

Tbh I am not sure. I haven’t noticed an effect like you describe. But this may have to do with what part of the lense your looking through. ie maybe pitch thickening top or bottom 4 example might adjust pitch.
Not sure if you might be able to capture the effect in a video. but imho it sounds like your eyes might have an off angle either vertically or horizontally causing you to see maybe a refraction/reflection off one of the fresnel rings?
Is it one eye or both? Keep in mind this is a guess.
I didn’t really try to close one eye. It feels like the effect is coming from the middle of the screen when I have both eyes open. e.g. during beat saber when blocks are coming at me it feels like looking a bit more to the sides makes the effect a bit weaker. It’s really hard for me to tell how to describe it as it’s the first time I experience something like this. I’m going to try and dial IPD more tomorrow. Who knows. Maybe it’s still IPD issue. I actually had to adjust both IPD offsets and vertical offset too (I think the value was -1.8) That kind of aligned the base station between VR and real life vertically. I’ve also tried a different face pad(thicker one but it really didnt make much difference after setting IPD on that one either)

@guppyexpress does have beatsaber mod that removes the need for parallel projections setting and if this effect is more in beatsaber it is possible it might fix the issue you describe.
Would it seem similar to a lens flare?

It feels like it could be a lens flare. I don’t mind running parallel projection. The resolution bump with it on using normal fov still allows me to maintain 90hz. I will try it out tomorrow. I know that I felt similar thing in Asseto Corsa. The middle of the screen had that weird “glare” as well.

The mod also gives a performance boost as well iirc fixes some display artifacts/issues.
I apologize but did you say your ipd is around 60?
Yes. I used the ruler method. It’s 60-60.5. I’ve used this in my valve index and it was working fine.
I think I got it. I used this exact post this time MRTV: Pimax IPD Tutorial - How To Set Pimax 8KX IPD Offset Correctly! No More Eyestrain! - #22 by blanes
While the base station wasn’t fully aligned physically vs the real life (a bit lower and more to the right side in VR) I still haven’t feel any strain in Beat Saber, Pop One, Space pirate trainer. I also turned PP on for Beat Saber and that weird unexplainable glare thing is gone. I can only faintly notice actual real glare of the lenses but it was similar in Valve Index so it doesn’t bother me.I set physical wheel IPD to 60,5 mm. Software: 0.7 right eye, -2.0 left eye, 0 for vertical offsets.
I did that with a thin face pad but I’m going to try and redo the setup of IPD for thicker pad since my eyebrows are touching the lenses which fogs them up at the top. If I dial IPD in with thicker pad then I can keep the headset. I will just 3d print the hinges for stable strap and use the Quest strap mod. Eventually I will also buy leather pad for the facial interface to deal better with sweating.

Hey. I think I still have an issue after all. Currently the problem seem to be a huge smearing issue when I turn my head even slowly. Entire image (text especially) turns into blurry spaghettified mess. I can’t really explain what is going on here.
Also do you know how comfortable is the oculus quest 1 strap mod for pimax 8kx. I see it as the cheapest and most viable solution but I wonder if it can withstand pimax weight.
For the Quest 1 Strap @Ludiks I think has experience and iirc made an adapter as well.
I haven’t experienced the head movement smearing myself. But am only running 75hz as 90hz is unavailable on my setup.

Unfortunately I had to return the headset.my friend came over. We tried to set IPD for me and for him as well. Nothing worked for any of us. He has even lower IPD than me. I guess it’s the face shape plus how deep the eye balls are.
I will be waiting and hoping that 12k will have a better compatibility for various IPDs. Eventually I could think about crystal. Do you know if the wider fov lens 35ppd one) has the same fov as index? If that is the case it would be enough for me for comfort I guess.
