iOptron 8407 hand controller bracket for 1.5-inch tripods

This is a remix of two iOptron holders: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4749185 https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4618561 Both are excellent designs; however, the hand controller bracket for the CEM 25 does not fit iOptron's 8407+ hand controller (iEQ30/45; CEM60; AZ Mount Pro), but the CEM 25 remote holder fits on 1.5-inch tripods. I have a pretty unique situation in which I use a 1.5-inch tripod for my iEQ30 for maximum portability, so I needed the tripod attachment from one design and the bracket/controller holder from another design for the Tri-Pier. The bracket for that fits the 8407 hand controller. I combined the two by removing sections from each and adding a solid joint for the remaining pieces. There was no need to reinvent the wheel here, so I didn't. The part that attaches to the tripod is perfect in terms of grip. It stays where you want it, but is easy enough to slide up or down or remove. This printed brilliantly on the first go. It prints well in PLA. I used 30% infill. I did not want to add too much infill because the part that attaches to the tripod leg needs to be flexible. I imagine you could up the infill percentage a little and still function well, so you can play with infill settings for rigidity.
