[Brilliant Idea] Improved spool holder with digital scale

Hi all, I want to combine the good work done in these two projects:
https://www.instructables.com/Digital-Spool-Holder-with-Scale/
and
https://www.printables.com/model/1196950-filament-weight-scale-spool-holder-prusa-core-one

Mods to the originals:

  • powered by routing to the USB-C port in the back and using a splitter so that the Core One Buddy Cam and this would both get juice without having to use a buck converter.
  • I would also modify the display to mount magnetically in the corner and be rotated so that it is visible without having to go around to the right side of the printer.

My CAD skills are weak (I only use TinkerCAD b/c all the rest require an engineering degree to understand) and I am dangerous around electronics (and people) when holding a soldering iron.

Your input (and assistance) is greatly appreciated. If this works as well as the one in the first link, perhaps Prusa Research can adapt it to whatever spool holding solution will be used for the INDX upgrade.
