Summary

A while ago my wife accidentally broke the mount that holds the garage door sensor to the metal mounting post. Since then it's been held on there with tape and a zip tie. So I decided to design and print a replacement. I designed this in a way that it could be printed without supports and the mounting bracket part could be replaced / redesigned easily. The mounting bracket is secured to the outer housing with glue.

            <div><p>Place glue along the joining seams and let glue dry.</p></div>

How I Designed This

This was designed in FreeCAD using the original bracket for measurements.
