Unfortunately, the original holders tend to break very often and are, on top of that, ridiculously expensive (tractive, if you're reading this, i'm looking at you!).

Anyway after ordering the fourth replacement I designed my own to just print it myself. I tried to make it more durable, a long term test is currently being conducted by my two cats.

I printed it with a 100% infill with PLA, since i noticed PETG was breaking often when trying to mount the tracker. I also used 0.2mm layer height and supports on build plate.

Assembly Tips: 

  • Start with one long edge and place the tracker so the nose fits, then walk your way to the short edges and keep pressing down until it snaps in

  • Do not use excessive force, its not necessary!

  • For removing the tracker again, start at the short edges and bend them slightly for the nose to lift its grip :)

 

Like all my work, this one is publicly available on Onshape for you to modify it to your own needs, if you want to.

Let me know if it fits for you, I printed a considerable amount of prototypes before i was happy with the result.

Edit: I can proudly announce that my two cats have conducted a long term test of these holders and were  wearing this holder every single day (of course with daily battery changes, so had to remove the tracker from the holder) since about 4 months and neither of the two have broken so far.
