Saliva Ejector Bracket

This is a very simple bracket that will mount an Adafruit sensor onto a "saliva ejector" or "Dentist's suction tube thingy".

This is super handy because it allows you to position the sensor in any direction and the ejector will keep its shape without crushing your wire. This was a 5 minute design and a 10 minute print, but it worked... feel free to do a better job and share it - I'm happy just to provide the inspiration.

Works on any of the "standard" sized Adafruit sensors which are 1in x .7in. The one I made this for was the VCNL4040 which can be found here: https://learn.adafruit.com/adafruit-vcnl4040-proximity-sensor/

This was super handy when testing sensors on Ella Hunt after her injury. Learn more here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xrcRp04MAz0
