Vive Lighthouse Sync Cable Reel

thingiverse

When a Vive Lighthouse receiver is connected to a computer using a USB cable, it can be difficult to manage the cables when moving around the room. This is because the standard cable does not allow for easy movement or storage. A solution to this problem is to create a custom cable reel that can hold multiple Lighthouse receivers in sync. The cable reel should have a secure and stable base, allowing the user to move it easily without worrying about the cables getting tangled or damaged. The design of the cable reel should be simple and compact, making it easy to store when not in use. It should also be durable enough to withstand regular use. To make the project more interesting, you can add a small LED light that indicates when the Lighthouse receiver is connected to the computer. This will give the user an instant visual indication of the connection status. The custom cable reel can be created using 3D printing or laser cutting, depending on the desired design and material. The process involves designing the reel's shape and structure, then printing or cutting it out of a suitable material. Once the reel is ready, you can assemble all the parts and test the system to ensure that everything works as expected.
