Turn signal remote holder for Xiaomi M365 handle bar grip

Dear Thingiverse Community, I'd like to introduce you to my turn signal remote holder for Xiaomi M365 handle bar grip. I've been using this holder for a while now and am completely satisfied with its design. That's why I decided to share it with the Thingiverse Community. The reason I designed this part is because I faced some issues trying to find the best spot to fit the remote holder on my Xiaomi M365 handle bar. Logically, the best place for a turn signal remote is somewhere that's easily reachable with the thumb without taking your hand off the handle bar (otherwise, it makes no sense to use the turn signals at all). On the right side, there's the accelerator, so that leaves us with the left side. It should be possible to fit it between the brake lever and the "bell/fold lock," but not without pushing the last one towards the center of the handle bar, which would impact how the scooter is locked when in folded position. Besides, the bell should remain easily accessible as well, so moving it further from the handle grip isn't an option. Finally, I found that the best spot for a turn signal remote is to place it directly on the brake lever. However, this is impossible with the default holder, and that's where my part comes in... This remote holder is designed to be installed at the end of the left handle bar grip with the remote attachment carriage hanging from the brake lever. This holder is compatible with turn signal remotes of irregular octagonal shape (check out my photos for examples). This remote design is used in many bicycle turn signal solutions available on Amazon, Ebay, and Aliexpress. My remote is branded "Lixada" but here are some other brands that use the same remote design: SDYDAY, BOBLOV, shenkey, Qunlife, LAOYE, Venilu, Lennonsi, YOEDAF, iHuniu, FANCYWING, and ECEEN. Personally, I'm using a backpack attachment that fits perfectly with my messenger bag (check out the photos), but I've also found other products like backpacks, vests, or cycling saddle bags that have the same remote.
