Garmin Fenix 5x Plus Bike Mount

This is a remix from omikr0n's "Garmin Fenix 5 QuickFit bike mount." If you found this design very helpful or wish to buy me a cup of coffee (it helps keep the brain active so I can create new stuff), then please consider using this link: https://www.buymeacoffee.com/Mb1vZjXUG. Since I have the Fenix 5x plus, the bike mount from omikr0n did not fit my watch. Thanks to omikr0n for putting the Fusion360 original file in the download folder; it was simple to change the mount to fit the Fenix 5x plus and I adjusted several things so the slider moves really well. Plus, I made some tiny tweaks here and there. The zip ties no longer go straight through but now follow the curve of the bottom of the bike mount. Can't say it's better, but if you put rubber pads underneath the bike mount, the mount sits really well on the stem. You can use a zip tie up to 4.8x1.4mm in size, but use a smaller version if it is too hard to push through. Regarding support for the model, I created support pieces that fit the bike mount; it's up to you whether or not you want to use them. The small bracket in the back holds the spring from jumping out; I recommend printing this with the little "knob" facing up and making supports underneath the two sides. This makes the bracket grip better in the bike mount when pushing it down into the mount. Regarding the "spring," I used a spring from a pencil and cut it in half, and that size fits perfectly.
