2, 3D-printing the holder:

Info:

This small device was easy to draw and shouldn't cause much trouble.


Slicing the drawing:

I have this orientation of it and hope to not have to add support to it, the hole to the sensor is critical. It's only a 14 minutes printing work.


3D-printing:

I press in the nut in its pocket with a long M6 screw, don't use a hammer.
