I use this mount for my Pi Camera, https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2886101
I found using this mount that the cable just hangs down, I tried to run it with the other gantry cables but that gave me issues with interference.
I wanted a pantograph type of thing to hold the cable and go up / down as the gantry moved.
I considered using a cable chain but due to the way they work, they will not fall in a specific way every time and therefore you could end with it bending backwards etc. They work elsewhere because the cable itself gives the shape integrity.
This is the first design I've shared, but mk2 of the overall design. There is much that can be improved (I may improve it) but it works and achieves what I want.
I've been asked to share, so I'm sharing but before you tell me it could be better - I know!
However, any ideas on how to make it better, ways to improve it - please let me know :)
Feel free to let me know how you got on here, https://www.reddit.com/r/ender
