Modified Plotter/Vinyl Cutter Mount for 3D printers

I've adapted this design from Devin Paul's original concept, giving it a personalized twist that suits my needs better. All credit for the original idea goes to him. UPGRADED DESIGN Changes Made 1. I added a channel on the base for a cable tie since my printer only has top screw holes, requiring an alternative attachment method at the bottom. 2. The bracket now features four holes to minimize flexing, but this does limit its upward and downward movement. 3. The thickness of the brackets and backplate was increased. 4. I doubled the height of the holder. 5. A thread in the bracket holder was created for an M3 bolt. 6. A recess inside the bracket was designed to accommodate a captive nut, just in case the thread wears away. I'd like to extend my gratitude to Devin Paul and his original Plotter/Vinyl Cutter Mount design on Thingiverse (https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3422179). Please visit that page for his guide and give proper credit where it's due. NB. I found the Path to Gcode method more convenient.
