Accessory Container for "USB Bore Scope Holder"

thingiverse

This is an add on to my "USB Bore Scope Holder." It holds the micro USB A to USB micro female adapter cable (folded in half), as well as the magnet, the hook, and mirror accessories. It attaches to my USB Bore Scope Holder on the opposite side from the boss that traps the camera barrel. It uses a screw-on cap taken (up-cycled) from a 16.9oz (500ml) plastic Coca Cola bottle. Now the Holder is complete with its loose bits and pieces. This makes no sense until you own a $13 VGA res USB bore scope from eBay or other source and also download and print the elongated wrapping spool to coil the 1 to 2 meter cable. Now you have a compact solution your can throw into a tool box and keep it all neat and together. A few tips about these cheap bore scopes: 1-the strain relief into the still-shot-button and brightness dial container sucks. Been in mine twice with a soldering iron. Purposely didn't glue it shut. On the second repair I added 5-minute epoxy between the PCB and the individual wires to keep them from moving. So far it's good. Hot glue would work as well. I still would NOT glue the two part case permanently. 2-once you have your camera running (I recommend VLC software), it's worth using a silver or gold sharpie marker to paint a line along the top of the camera so you know which way is up when you feed it into a cavity. 3-I tape my camera to the end of a 3 foot zip tie using vinyl electrical tape. This gives me good aiming control when I drop the camera into walls and the like. Enjoy!
