*NEW* Electronics mounting system, cable management

Hi

A while back I was looking for DIY 3D printable electronics mounting solutions for my ED80 and I stumbled across a forum on Cloudy Nights. Anyway, long story short, Rob at https://www.starclamps.com/ was friendly enough to let me trial some of his prototype mounting components on my ED80 as I was getting frustrated with cable mess and the set up and take down routine.

The attached pictures show his system on my ED80 with Raspberry Pi, DIY power box, cables, and Starlink USB hub mounted securely on an HEQ5 mount. The electronics are well balanced on the OTA and I can lift the whole assembly off in one go after unplugging the battery and mount drive cable. I am now more motivated to get the scope out.

Seems like a thoughtfully designed and nicely integrated system to me and the quality of the printed parts is great and they are light weight but rigid. Big thanks to Rob
