Used to route cabling upward

Keepin my canbus cable save!

Does the job and looks stock. Printed with Polymaker Black ABS

I needed a connector for pg7, so I cut off the bottom in Prusaslicer, printed it, and screwed it onto the RPI3B+ Hyperpixel enclosure (with some additional superglue). Printed with Polyterra Lava Red, 50% infill, 0.2mm

@collab Creative use of the model, nice - thanks for sharing

the mount works great on my trident but now I'm trying to figure a way to get the cable sleeve to stop scratching my top panel

Could you provide sourcing information for the cable and gland?

@opinion_panda The PG7 strain relief is from AliExpress (but can be bought from Amazon as well, just use that search term): https://de.aliexpress.com/item/4001159023849.html
The cable depends on the can board used, I'm running first gen SH36/42 boards on some printers for which I use the proper molex overmolded cable bought from DigiKey: https://www.digikey.de/de/products/detail/molex/2451320430/6822829
The the newer SB2040 (split) boards do come with a matching cable which I just sleeve.

Fits fine would have liked to see it a little thicker tho

Would you be able to make another version which works for PG9 mount? My umbilical is a non-CAN implementation so the wire is pretty thick.

Hi, thanks for this mod. Could you possibly post a F360 or STEP?
