Just a simple 3D printed mounting bracket that mounts behind the left passenger footpeg. Designed for the S model, but I'm sure it can be modified for other bikes as well.
I originally made this for the diginow chargers (hence the two toggle switch mounting points) but I've also included a non-toggle switch file as well for those who just have the Zero J1772 adapter or other setup. I've also included the original Blender file in case anyone wants to modify it easily.
Best printed with ABS, Nylon, and I'm still testing NylonX carbon filament.

Looks awesome. Did you 3D print that, you mean?
It looks like metal, strong, durable.
I'd love to have a 3D printer too. There are times where I have ideas to build / install sth, but the part I'd need does not exist.
Then I am thinking "would be nice to just make a sketchup file and send it to a 3D printer! ;D

Not sure why I never got a notification for your comment, I wasn't ignoring you.
I did print it. This was a mockup piece, so printed quickly in PLA. The final piece I printed was using NylonX, a carbon fiber nylon blend.
I say get a 3D printer. I had a prusa, now have a bambu X1C. I was one of those people who thought I would never use one. I use it almost daily now. And the wide variety of filament types (like the rubbery TPU) give you so many use cases.
So here's a recent example; part on my dash on my truck broke. It's $90 for an OEM. Someone on Cults3D has a model of the part. I can buy his model for $9, and use $5 worth of filament, and print my own car part. And I can even use his file as a template to make customizations and make my own version.
