A modified version of Chris Larkin's limb mount (https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3280609).

I changed a few things to better suit my own supplies:

  • Widened the holes to 21x4mm so they can comfortably fit 20mm wide velcro straps
  • Have the little orientation knob as a 3d printed protrusion, because I didn't have any bolts that fit
  • Added holes to the side of the strap holes, so that it is easier to pull them through (e.g. with tweezers)
  • Increased the thickness of the plastic between the tracker and where the screw sits by 1mm, because my 1/4 screws were too long and required washers

If you have printed the model correctly, you also need two velcro straps (I recommend flexible ones) as well as a 1/4 screw.

Print instructions

Printing this can be a bit awkward, since you definitely want supports (also in the strap holes), but not all the way though, since that is basically impossible to remove. I had pretty good success with the method shown in the last two pictures - basically have a bit of support on the very ends of the hole as well as in the middle, where it is easy to reach and remove from the side.
