Guinea Pig Water Bottle Holder

This is based on https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1420147 My guinea pig cage has its vertical wires closer together and horizontal wires farther apart than the original. Modifying the SCAD file supplied in the original thing didn't work very well for me, so I completely redrew the thing in FreeCAD (file included in this thing for your own modifications). I used a #4 screw, 1/2 inches long, to secure the two parts together. It stuck out a bit, so I used my grinder to shorten it down until it was level with the part (about 10 seconds of grinding), but that apparently heated up the plastic enough to make it a bit loose. Still works, but a shorter screw might be advised. Or perhaps some kind of press-fit design would work. I printed with 20% infill, which seems to work OK. I don't think it's too critical because the walls are fairly close together to begin with.
