I use a generic door closer as a counterweight for my Switchwire build, which is much cheaper (and simpler to supply in Germany) than the recommended Keybak and it's function is identical. When I used Kruze17's bracket (https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:5206581), I noticed that the string was dragging on the edge of the exit hole, so I turned the door closer to an angle. Also, I don't like that the holder from Kruze17 doesn't have the Voron typical chamfer and fillets, so I redesigned the holder looking closer to the Voron style.

This is one of my first designs with OnShape. Anyone can create a free OnShape account (https://www.onshape.com/en/products/free) and make a copy, the link of this model is:
