I really liked hamkers' Raspberry Pi camera mount with integrated cable management, but I use a webcam with a standard USB cable instead. Since it would be very tricky to run the cable "through" a channel like he does the ribbon cable, I instead removed the channels altogether, replacing them with grooves that allow you to push in a standard 3.5mm diameter USB cable. It won't be hidden at the joints, but it will at least be nice and neat. Note that the cable may not stay in by itself, it may require some adhesive depending on the thickness of the cable and the tolerance of the print.

I also modified the design to be more symmetrical since a thick side column is no longer needed to hide the ribbon cable.

Note that this design is heavily over-engineered. If I were starting over, I would make the arms MUCH smaller to use up MUCH less material, and block less of your view of the printer. The original design is very bulky to accommodate the ribbon cable, and this one didn't need to be. On the plus side, it can support a lot of weight ;)

Use with Hamkers' base clamp, any of the remixed Camera heads (including the one I made), and either the original base or my 1x2 base for top-mounting on Ender 3 etc.

Tips always appreciated (particularly via Lightning Network, jonathanalevi@ln.tips)

Enjoy.
