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, 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 from a 16.9oz plastic Coca Cola bottle. Now the Holder is complete with its loose bits and pieces. This makes sense only when you own a $13 VGA res USB bore scope from eBay or another source, and also download and print the elongated wrapping spool to coil the 1 to 2 meter cable. Now you have a compact solution that can be thrown into a tool box and kept all neat and together. A few tips about these cheap bore scopes: 1-The strain relief in the still-shot-button and brightness dial container is bad news. I've had mine fixed twice with a soldering iron. I didn't glue it shut on purpose, but I did add 5-minute epoxy between the PCB and individual wires to keep them from moving after the second repair. Hot glue would work too. However, I wouldn't glue the two part case permanently. 2-Once you have your camera running (I recommend VLC software), it's worth painting a line along the top of the camera with a silver or gold sharpie marker 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!
