This is a “Google Cardboard Plastic”, one of the April fools of Google in 2016. When you put this part on, you go beyond the virtual reality to the actual reality😊. Google’s slogan was: “A device with which you can see things the way you really see them and experience the world in your own way”. Use transparent filament for printing, the clearer the better!
