This remix replaces the pulley and counter weight system used in the adafruit and atmakers design with a constant force spring, providing a simpler solution.
A constant force spring maybe similar to what is in a tape measure. It always pulls with the same force, regardless of the pulled distance.
The Arm, Handle, and 2020 Mount are used as-is from the adafruit design. The Roller Plate is symetrical in design so the Handle can be mounted on either side of the tower, and even on the front or back of the Roller Plate. I added the tension adjustment to the Roller Plate design to remove wheel play on the 2020 extrusion.

Every Thursday is #3dthursday here at Adafruit! The DIY 3D printing community has passion and dedication for making solid objects from digital models. Recently, we have noticed electronics projects integrated with 3D printed enclosures, brackets, and sculptures, so each Thursday we celebrate and highlight these bold pioneers!
Have you considered building a 3D project around an Arduino or other microcontroller? How about printing a bracket to mount your Raspberry Pi to the back of your HD monitor? And don’t forget the countless LED projects that are possible when you are modeling your projects in 3D!
