I printed a prototype of the frames.
A couple of immediate problems:
-I was too conservative with the frame thickness, but not width.
-Lens inset was too shallow.
-Arm pivots were too small.
-After scaling the arm pivots, I choked the arm size to .75D
-Extended the arm stops.
-Extended the interior of the contact rotation point for arms.
<Note: Hinges are donated from model 10, scaled up.
So; the new design:
Error in scale up, fixed.
There is a small error in the pivot support still, but its not worth fixing at this time. Arms are still the spring type, not sure if it'll actually work.
