Garden hose holder to mount against a post or a wall

Garden hose holder to mount against a post, when you don't want to put holes in the post because it would rust or it's only temporary. It uses 6mm bolts and 10mm hex nuts. Fits on an ender3 and should be plenty strong. It uses about 230g of filament (bracket included ) and it printed in 5,5 hours. I use a highflow nozzle though. I exported 4 versions, for posts of 60, 70 and 80mm width. One to mount against a Wall.(here, the centers of the countersunk 6mm mounting holes are 87mm apart.) I only printed the 80mm variant, it works great so far. I used wingnuts to fix it, so if/when the PLA starts to creep, it will be easy to fasten it again. The unshortened bolts in the back are a safety hazard and I will shorten them. I printed it with an 0.6mm nozzle, 0.8mm extrusion width, 0.4mm layer height. Plenty of nozzle temp for better flow and adhesion. doesn't need a brim or supports, 15% infill doesn't hurt. Use a fan to improve the overhangs. I used PLA, but from what I've read, that's not a good choice for outside stuff. If there should be any noteworthy degradation in about a year or so, I'll update this post with pics of the dregraded state.
